The Pteriga's Lighthouse, an awe-inspiring structure, stands tall on the northern half of the west coast of
Iothea Isle, overseeing the bustling settlement of
Secula Faru. Since 610 second era, Pteriga's Lighthouse has stood as a beacon of hope and protection for Secula Faru. Its magical guardianship has allowed the settlement to flourish and thrive despite the dangers lurking in the untamed wilderness. The image of the lighthouse has become a symbol of security for the people of Secula Faru and is the first landmark many imagine when speaking of the city.
The Crystal Core
Constructed under the guidance of skilled mages, the lighthouse boasts a blend of elegant dwarven aesthetics and formidable magical enchantments. Rising high above the city on the rugged cliffs over the ports, the lighthouse's mesmerizing design incorporates intricate patterns of luminescent crystals that shimmer like stars, illuminating the night sky with an otherworldly radiance.
At the center of Pteriga's Lighthouse, an enchanted core houses a valuable artifact called the "Imbasa Crystal." This crystal is a rare pink tourmaline believed to contain celestial energy. It was found on the island within a Mava'Valia-era ruin. It is suspected to be a unique product of an ancient elven spell, as its magical properties cannot be replicated.
Purpose
The lighthouse's primary function is to protect the settlement from the colossal and menacing creatures that roam the wilds of Iothea Isle. At the heart of the structure, the Imbasa Crystal channels its celestial energy, forming a magical barrier that surrounds the city, extending over vast stretches of land and sea. This barrier creates a dome of protection, invisible to the eye, that shields Secula Faru from the approach of these giant monsters.
When a creature approaches, the magic within the lighthouse detects its presence, triggering the Imbasa Crystal to intensify its energy. As the colossal creature draws near, the magical barrier reacts, emitting a brilliant and pulsating light that radiates outward, driving the monster away. This dazzling display serves as both a warning and a deterrent, making the city's location undesirable to the massive beasts.
