The Jorunn Lighthouse is located in the Headlands region of
The Northern Reaches.
Features
The lighthouse stands at the tip of the eastern peninsula of the Headlands, east of
Jorunnstead, and marks the northern point of the opening of the Tålesend, standing at the point where the strait meets the
Misty Bay and the
Great Sea. It is one of two lighthouses marking the
Tålesund, the other being the
Armskr Lighthouse at the western end of the strait. The southern end of
Shadowscar Isle can be seen from the top of the lighthouse.
The lighthouse is named after Jorunn Karlsen, whose family founded the village of Jorunnstead. The descendants of the family still run the village and still tend to the lighthouse, although other members of the settlement help with the task.
