A creature of pure annihilation, the Nightwalker is an undead horror of lich-level power. It manifests as a terrifying void in humanoid form, constantly drawing light and life into its chilling embrace. Its presence alone is enough to suffocate hope, making it a formidable foe and a living embodiment of the void.

Player-Facing Lore & Encounters

• An undead entity of lich-level power that acts as a guardian, currently preventing escape from La Bastille.
• Known for its ability to phase between planes, an unusual and dangerous trait.
• The Torch of Saint Devina, currently held by Liberty Lovine, is crucial for anchoring it to the material plane. It must be held physically to remain active; its light radius is small (10 feet bright, 10 feet dim), requiring close proximity to prevent the Nightwalker from phasing away. The torch takes three actions to reignite if dropped.
• Ventus Velstadt and Blitz Spren bravely scouted its location and gathered vital intelligence.
• The Renegade Syndicate planned to use spells like Force Cage, Prismatic Wall, Freedom of Movement, True Seeing, and Holy Aura to trap or contain it. Leona Book initiated the assault by targeting it and its undead entourage with a Sunburst spell.
• It has been observed with 1 shadowmark on it.

Player-Facing Lore & Recent Events

• Defeated: The Nightwalker was confronted and destroyed by the Renegade Syndicate in the forests near La Bastille.
• Essence Absorption: Upon its demise, the creature's void essence was violently drawn into the Torch of Saint Devina, corrupting the artifact and leaving it with a chilling, necrotic aura.
