THE CELESTIAL LIGHTHOUSE

The Celestial Lighthouse

Found 2 hexits outside The City, it sits on a rock outcropping overlooking a vast coral wall that protected the bay when the Once-Sea lapped its stone. Now the lighthouse IS the port. Black-oared celestial ships, manned by the citizens of Leng, visit the city and trade exclusively in red gems said to contain moral souls.

Found here, in the lighthouse's repurposed life, are women of the Kite Guild, running mooring lines from the black ships, the Astrologers Synod gathering evidence to demonstrate how the black ships mess with fate, and the Scarb Handers whose giant beetles roll wicker spheres packed with goods to and from the City. Occasionally the aging clergy of Saint Posideon have to travel to sanctify the area around the lighthouse as the Kite Guild swears they can see the sands shifting with the movement of the dead sea.
