Rules notes: Lanadon uses the 2024 Sorcerer framework, with Shadow Magic as his intended specialization at level 3. The Drow features and Sunlight Sensitivity reflect traditional Drow lore rather than a strict 2024 species build. His 13 hit points use the NPC dice convention shown above; a standard 2024 level-2 Sorcerer with Constitution 16 would have 16 hit points using fixed HP. His Challenge Rating is an estimate.
