Lantern archon

Lantern archons appear as floating balls of light that glow about as brightly as a torch. Only their destruction can extinguish the glow, though they can try to hide it.

Lantern archons are friendly beings who are curious about mortals and the mortal world. Most lantern archons never leave the heavenly realm from which they originate; always serving as custodians and guides for mortal souls that have passed into the heavens. A few find their way to the mortal world, either by being summoned forth or through a random planar gate.

Despite their “lowly” status, lantern archons are content with their existence. They love to help those in need and work well with others. The bravery of these creatures often leads them to be promoted into other forms of archons.
