About this model
A small hanging lantern with a brass frame, dark glass panels and a long chain for suspending it from a beam or bracket. It is compact, about half a foot across and 1.5 ft tall with its chain.
Hang it in a tavern, a ship's cabin, a merchant's shop or a covered market stall. Lights cast real shadows on the map, so placing a lantern changes what the players can see and where creatures can lurk. It also gives a fight something to play with: a lantern swinging after a blow, or one knocked down to plunge a corner into darkness.
Ideas for the table
- Someone shoots out the lantern above the bar and the brawl continues in near darkness.
- A ghost appears only when the brass lantern is lit, and fades whenever it gutters.
- The lantern hanging in the shop window is a smuggler's signal, and tonight it is lit.
