Celestial archon

Archons, not to be confused with the similarly named elementals, are an elite group of celestials in the service of all that is lawful and good. Archons are wholly good and lawful and are consistently at odds with fiends of any kind, though they particularly despise demons.

The good deities Cyrrollalee, Dugmaren Brightmantle, Eilistraee, Milil, and Mystra all had lantern archons in their service. Hound archons served the halfling god Urogalan. Archons of all varieties were found in service to the good deities Arvoreen, Berronar Truesilver, and Deneir.
