Caelen Noctharrow
Name: Caelen Noctharrow Apparent age: mid-30s True age: about 137 winters What he is called by old tongues: a Virelune — not a monster, not a man, but a dusk-born being, shaped by shadow and blood, bound to night the way others are bound to breath. Caelen was born screaming under a roof meant for humans. His mother, Elspeth, was a village healer—soft-spoken, sharp-eyed, married to a good man who never raised his voice. But months before Caelen’s birth, on a moonless night, she strayed into the hills gathering nightroot and never came home alone. The being she met was Virelune: ancient, beautiful in a way that unsettled the soul, neither cruel nor kind, just other. He wore the dark like skin. Their union was brief, wordless, inevitable. Elspeth returned changed, carrying a secret she prayed would pass as human. It didn’t.
