Harbingers are high-ranking darkness creatures. Their attacks threatened the southern villages of Soltheris and forced even elite defenders to drain essence from living beings.
Appearance and Abilities
The harbinger Aurion fought shifted between a humanoid shape and writhing shadow, with darkness tendrils and eyes resembling empty voids. Its tendrils battered his starfield barriers hard enough to shake the ground and break through thinner layers. By contorting its body, it slipped between celestial projectiles.
History
Harbingers struck villages at unpredictable times, targeting weak defenses. Aurion gathered mages of level seven and above and stationed scouts to warn of their approach. One harbinger advanced with umbral stalkers and ebon wraiths. Aurion's essence cores proved insufficient to defeat it, so he used essence draining, drawing power from the surrounding land and villagers. He trapped the creature in a blazing starlight barrier and destroyed it with the accompanying horde, leaving the village outskirts scorched and cratered.
Astheron also resorted to essence draining in the defense. Two level seven mages died in the fighting, and Astheron returned exhausted.

After Eira removed the shard from the temple, an expedition through the Land of Darkness found the route quiet, with even the harbingers absent.

Origins
In the Land of Darkness, corruption takes the mind before transforming the body. Jorhan controlled the creatures there and showed Eira a harbinger that had been Kheran.
