Cape Candle

Cape Candle is a small island located in the sea among Moethe, Ghadjo, and Orze, and it is administered by Orze Hwell.  It contains a lighthouse and a small town with a marketplace which supports the lighthousers of the Comet Keys, the small chain of islands between Orze and Moethe that each contain a lighthouse for navigation.
Just around 200 people live in the village of Cape Candle - a mixed society of humans, gnomes, and halflings.

Geography

Cape Candle is a rocky island of black rock with just a few salt-water shrubs in a few places.  Its rocky coastline is battered by heavy waves on three sides, but its presence enables the currents to flow north-south from the north down south to Moethe's Kers and Taflshir, without threat of being smashed into Ghadjo's cliffy coast.

History

Cape Candle's lighthouse was one of the first in the region, and it soon grew into a small market town, enabling small families to live on the Comet Keys, getting their supplies from the nearby Cape Candle.  The lighthouses improved navigation and trade, enabling nighttime travel through the channel, which has helped Kers and Taflshir.
