The Lamp of Ignation
While it's true potential is yet to be discovered. This lantern was made in an accident while The Forgemaster, You Khamere was tinkering with tonal harmonics and how they interact with fire. The lantern cage began to vibrate with a frequency that dispelled all illusion. When the lantern was lit, the flame could not be extinguished by any known means.
The Light cast off by the flame could be softened with a damper on the base of the cage, and so the light brightness can be changed. However a few interesting properties were discovered as the Forgemaster and their apprentices were tinkering with it. You found that they couldn't hide anything, if asked a questions, they answered in full, with all known information known to the speaker.
Curious, the Forgemaster told their apprentice to tell them that the Forgemaster was pretty. The apprentice opened his mouth, and nothing came out. The apprentice was instructed to keep walking back until they could speak. They found that it has a maximum range of 500ft, and anywhere the light was strong enough to hit and make a shadow.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
The flame inside the lantern seems to be the actual funtioning mechanism to the lantern. It is bebated with The Forgemaster as to why, they claim is has to do with the fact that the world is built in reality. Reality as it changes, changes in frequency as does a song. So the Flame corrects that frequency to reflect the true tune of the world.
The rune structures embedding every surface of the cage. are structured around sound, light and dreams. As to why Dreams had an effect on the flame as such is debated. The Wayfares Guild requested to investigate the lamp as well after hearing about it's rune structure. They came to the conclusion that the runes in effect meant something vaugly similar to "Dreams are the reality, be burned away to show truth." "Truth and reality are the dreams of the sound of our thoughts.". The true meaning has remained obscure as Khamere the Forgemaster has refused to reveal where they learned the runes to do so.
History
The Court found out about the Lamp and requested to purchase it from the Forgemaster. As the lantern was sitting right next to both the Forgemaster and the Baron of Glaion Lucas Berthelot , the Forgemaster asked why. Rumor has it that this led to the most long winded explanation that anyone had ever heard, that somehow never answered the question. The Court later found out that it also dispelled all illusions, and revealed altered histories.
This later aspect of the lamp led to the lamp being used in all discussions of state. The historians of the Kingdom Of Galus. Began fequently requesting the item to review documents and Treaties, although this led to many dead ends with older documents that survived from ancient times. Many things becoming cold cases that are still being researched.
