The Lantern King
The Laughing Lie
The Lantern King is one of the Eldest, a divine fey creature of tremendous power said to be able to reshape the very fabric of the Original World on a whim, whose appearance is like a large will-o'-wisp. He is known for his capacity as a trickster god mixing caprice and mischief in god-like capacity within a realm already full of such practice.
The Lantern King has no permanent abode. He wanders freely through the fields and forests of the Caelum, bending reality and changing lives wherever he goes. His sense of humor is vast, both in its breadth and its potential for harm. The Lantern King is believed by some mortals to be the progenitor of the will-o'-wisps, but the fey lord derisively laughs off such claims.
The Lantern King resembles a foot-wide ball of golden light surrounded by a circlet made out of glyphs. When expressing a point or emotion, he often changes colour. Because of this resemblance, he is sometimes suspected to be the progenitor of will-o'-wisps or the original model for lantern archons, but the fey lord derisively laughs off such claims. He speaks in a booming, merry baritone which is the only indicator of his gender. The Lantern King is also capable of taking the forms of other creatures, including other Eldest, to cause mischief.

The Lantern King cares little for worshippers but is willing to provide power to them whenever he feels like doing so. To meet the King is a Original World expression meaning finding oneself subject to strange fortune, and seekers of the Lantern King rarely return the same
