Ancient fey legend holds that the first Twilight Stag was born from the shadow cast by Landorya's moon upon the Twilight Covenant Grove at the moment the Covenant was first sealed. Travelers from human civilizations who have glimpsed one from afar often return to their settlements speaking of a ghost-deer that walks on light rather than earth.

Some sages believe the stags are not mere animals but fragments of the Covenant itself given flesh.

The Twilight Stag serves as the living herald and sacred mount of high-ranking members of the Fey Court of the Eternal Twilight, appearing at moments of great ceremony or impending magical crisis. Its presence is considered an omen of the Court's direct attention upon a matter.
