Lighthouse



The Lighthouse was the pride and joy of Monhegan Island's kithain when it was built in 1824 to provide for both the islanders and the kithain. Previously, a fairy "glen" in Cathedral Woods had served as a gathering place. The encroachment of humankind coupled with the needs of the island Fae of that era had led to its construction at a key location with Cuán Allen as the first Freeholder.

When Baroness Maira and her small contingent of knights arrived during the Accordance War, the locals fought back but were decisively defeated. Maira's decision to not only claim the balefire but create a completely new freehold across the harbor using the Fog Signal as a rath remains a source of resentment to this day.

The Lighthouse continues to have a steady presence in the Near Dreaming, however. It is a popular place for local kithain to frequent, especially at night and outside of Tourist Season. The Island Path connects it to Caer Solas, The Brewery and Shade Hill.
