SETTING

Setting

In this scenario, you take on the mantle of this solitary figure in a time when light and dark were more than just physical phenomena. The rituals surrounding lighthouses, including prayers and superstitions, often mixed with a sense of otherworldly danger, echoing the eerie, uncertain age of Victorian gothic horror

The scenario takes place in 1850s England, during the height of the Victorian era, a time known for its fascination with the supernatural, moral decay, and industrial advancements. Lighthouses, symbols of isolation and watchfulness, were essential for maritime safety, guiding ships through dangerous waters and protecting them from treacherous coastlines..
