"Far above, a lighthouse fire burns. The scent of it is curiously medicinal. It clouds your head and burns your lungs. Farther into the fog, you can make out laboured breathing."[1]
The Ragged Crow is an enormous lighthouse that acts as a major landmark in the Unterzee. Under the lighthouse lies the Undercrow, a cavern with an entrance found below the Unterzee's surface.
A Standard Candle
"No use for new faces. Find my student. Back in Port Carnelian. Or maybe hunting in Venderbight. Tell him he hasn't long."[2]
As a giant source of light across the dark Unterzee, the Ragged Crow attracts many varieties of moths - from those similar to their Surface counterparts,[3] to the dangerous, ship-sized Tyrant-Moths.[4]
The mysterious Undercrow is a large underwater cavern filled with moths, fungal smoke and the lighthouse's solitary keeper,[1] an extremely old tomb-colonist known as the Almost Dead Man.[5] This individual uses a complex pulley system to deliver flammable fungus to the lighthouse's burner, and the resulting smoke has preservative properties, though it also coats the entire cavern in grey soot.[6]

"Mortality has a way of finding us in the end. I must set my affairs in order. I owe that much to my successor. So, Addressed As, would you help an old man say his farewells?"[7]
The true identity of the Almost Dead Man is Lorenzo of the Seven Against Nidah.[5] Unfortunately, his life is slowly coming to an end; however, within him sleeps a member of an outstanding species of Frost-Moth called the Most-Moth', and its Emergence is imminent.[8] Lorenzo's student, the Incomparable Aurelian, is an insect collector who wishes to witness the Most-Moth's hatching and observe the moth's wings.[9][10][11] Before his final dissolution, however, Lorenzo wishes to send several messages to his former friends and set his affairs in order, to say farewell to his once-comrades of the Seven Against Nidah once and for all.[12][13]
