Forty years ago, famed ordist Zekiel Wallow established a lab in the far-flung lighthouse of Last Light. Wallow and their colleagues dedicated themselves to studying the increasingly widespread phenomenon known as the Gloam—and how to combat it. Wallow made many early discoveries relating to the Gloam and its extraplanar properties, and their logs and theories—known collectively as the Wallow Findings—are still today studied and debated by ordists across the Five Dominions.
Nine months after establishing the lab at Last Light, Wallow and their team vanished—along with the lighthouse—when the Gloam encroached on the Five Dominions. Wallow, their experimental equipment, and the last of their findings were all lost to the inexorable darkness.
Four days ago, sailors aboard the merchant vessel Magdalena glimpsed a lit beacon roughly twenty leagues east of Driftchapel.
That beacon could only be Last Light.
