Homebrew Caelumbra Species Details

"I witnessed her, adorned in both the shimmering radiance of celestial light and the captivating shadow of the abyss. Her eyes, a mesmerizing fusion of divine fury and abyssal darkness, brought momentary pause to infernal beings, shielding themselves from the celestial brilliance. Her weapon, now a dual manifestation of both ethereal glow and alluring shadow, danced through the air—once, twice, three times. The infernal entities' heads fell to the ground, vanquished by the intricate dance of her Caelumbran heritage. And thus, we discovered that a Caelumbra, born of both celestial grace and abyssal essence, walked among our eclectic fellowship.
