| The **Twilight Court** is a rumored collective of extremely powerful **[[ALTERs]]** — entities of overwhelming power, believed by some to represent the darkest reaches of TRACE corruption. If it exists, the Court stands in direct opposition to humanity, pursuing an inscrutable agenda that brings chaos and destruction wherever their influence touches.

Then, with a slight movement, the entity raised a hand, and shadows around them coalesced into an army of dark forms advancing in silent, chilling unison. The Tracer steeled themselves, certain their end had come — yet, just as the shadows closed in, the figure lowered its hand, halting the onslaught. The Tracer was left standing, alive but frozen in terror, as the being turned and vanished into the darkness, leaving only a lingering chill and the weight of violet eyes burned into their memory. | + | The Tracer claimed the figure never spoke but radiated a wave of TRACE energy so powerful it brought fear into their very bones.

Its members, if they exist, are specters of immense power who work from unseen places. For now, the Court is an unanswered question, a dark legend that exists beyond the reach of human understanding — and perhaps, a harbinger of humanity’s darkest fears realized. | + | {{tag> |
