Wanderer's Lantern

Warding Light

Written by Endrise

Even the simplest light can keep foul intentions away.

A Wanderer's Lantern is one of the tools used by Lightbearers of the Wandering Flame's Church, used to repel all sorts of evils. With an ember of the First Flame, its warmth fends off foul spirits and provides light at Fasma's temples, ensuring a safe space for those who need it.

Protective Light

Designs of Wanderer's Lanterns vary a lot between temples, with each one hand-crafted. What remains the same is each one gets kindled by a First Flame ember, making the warmth of the flame different. The ember makes the flame cyan in colour, and grants it warding properties.
Anything within the range of a Wanderer's light remains protected from malicious forces. Anything from evil spirits to corruptive spells cannot come near a lantern. Although powerful forces can penetrate its effects long enough to destroy the light source.

Guardian Light

Most clerics of the church carry around Wanderer's Lanterns to keep at bay the many evils on Fabulae, both in their temples and rural areas. Their protective light ensures a continuous light source during travel, protection against many threats, or even a purification method.
The downside is that the fire can only protect for so long, as unlike the First Flame or temple flames, its lifespan is short. As such, most wandering clerics stop by other temples to rekindle their lanterns during travels, ensuring it stays lit wherever they go.
