The wind howls through the spires of Iego as you step onto the swaying catwalks of Cliffhold, the city clinging impossibly to the cliff’s sheer face. Below, a vast canyon yawns into mist and shadow; above, rounded towers of stone and metal taper to sharp points, scarred with fading Aurebesh graffiti. Walkways crisscross the open air, linking buildings and landing pads in a precarious web, every step echoing over the abyss. 🌄

Before the Cliffhold Council building stands a figure that stills the noise of the city. The Diathim is tall and slender, her willowy frame marked by elongated limbs and an upright, almost floating posture. Porcelain-pale skin catches the light with a faint, unearthly glow, and her silvered grey eyes shine softly, calm yet distant. Her beauty is unmistakably otherworldly, the kind long spoken of in spacers’ tales—Diathim are said to be among the most beautiful and rare races in the galaxy, so seldom seen that many consider them little more than myth or fairy story. Muted golden-blonde hair spills from beneath a deep hood, framing her serene face. ✨

Behind her, six broad, ivory-white wings unfurl in three symmetrical pairs, mantle-like and petal-shaped, forming a quiet halo against the dark basalt cliff. She wears a long, sleeveless terracotta robe, weathered and matte, falling straight to the catwalk floor, its opening lined with a subtle teal-blue fabric traced with restrained, sacred motifs. There is no armor, no weapon—only a simple circular clasp at her chest. 🪽

With her hands folded gently before her, she inclines her head in a respectful nod, her voice soft and solemn:

“Welcome to Cliffhold, traveler. May your steps here be guided by peace, not fear. 🙂‍↕️”
