"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 a great lighthouse located in The Unterzee region of Stormbones.[2]

Moths and Regret

As a giant source of light across the dark Unterzee, The Ragged Crow attracts tons of moths- from those similiar to their Surface counterparts, to the ship sized Tyrant-Moths.[3][4]

Under the lighthouse proper lies The Undercrow- a large underwater cavern filled with moths, fungal smoke and the lighthouse's solitary lightkeeper called Lorenzo.[5]

The lighkeeper's life is slowly coming to an end however- within Lorenzo sleeps a member of an outstanding species of moth called The Most-Moth, and it will emerge from him no matter what. Before that happens Lorenzo wishes to apologize to some of his old friends, to lessen the regrets of his long life and make his final moments less painful.[6][7][8]
