Lantern archons are small, zealous, evasive, and social archons who often serve as messengers and scouts for the forces of Heaven.¹²

Appearance

A lantern archon is a pale illuminated globe of pure spiritual energy. Its light can be any hue and ranges in brightness from a candle to a torch at will, but it cannot be extinguished completely until its death. Lantern archons in general enjoy modulating their light in time with music or to amuse others.¹²

They make no sound as they glide gracefully through the air, and their voices are echoing and airy.¹

Ecology

Lantern archons are formed from shaped living light.² Many serve as illumination fixtures in Heavenly settlements, simultaneously providing both light and surveillance.¹

Lantern archons can be summoned by spellcasters.³⁴

Abilities

Lantern archons can work well together in large numbers, and in desperation can form a gestalt being comprised of nine archons that is more powerful together than apart.¹²

Like other archons, lantern archons can teleport at will and, in rare instances, bastion archons form when a lantern archon gestalt and shield archon fuse while attempting to swap positions via teleportation.⁵
