A lighthouse stands along the coastline of Area X, remaining from the time before the region was cut off from the outside world. It is the sole intact (or nearly so) man-made structure remaining in Area X.
Pre-Area X[]
Prior to the formation of Area X, the lighthouse had a rich and mysterious history, much of which is featured in a book called Famous Lighthouses.
Beacon[]
The beacon is a four-ton lens that is over a century old and can be adjusted in hundreds of ways.[1] It was shipped to the lighthouse prior to the American Civil War, and was buried in sand to prevent either the Union or Confederacy from taking control of it. The beacon was eventually sent north before appearing again at Island X on the Forgotten Coast.[2]
Lighthouse Keeper[]
The most recent lighthouse keeper was Saul Evans.
Schedule[]
The lighthouse is typically lit only at night for half the week, based on commercial shipping traffic.[1]
Séance and Science Brigade[]
The Séance and Science Brigade showed a deep interest in both lighthouses on the Forgotten Coast. Two S&S Brigade members, Henry and Suzanne, were investigating the lighthouse when Area X began to form.
