Description
Dul is a tall singer whose mediationform gives him an open face and a smooth, beautiful carapace. Red patterns cover his skin, interrupted by tiny black hints like submerged rocks visible through a deep red sea. His bearing is calm and attentive, with a composed stillness suited to mediation. The text does not specify his hair, eyes, clothing, or exact build beyond his height.
