Observed by: the Island of Marosh
Observed in somber silence, the Lanterns of the Drowned is a night of remembrance dedicated to Cthos the Doomsayer in Seahaven on the Island of Marosh. At dusk, families and ship crews light small lanterns and set them adrift upon Mandrake Bay, each one representing a soul lost to the sea. The waters glow with hundreds of flickering lights, drifting slowly across the harbor like a field of stars. Priests recite the names of the known dead while bells toll from the Sepulchral Lantern. It is said that on this night, the boundary between the living and the drowned grows thin, and many claim to hear whispers carried on the tide. Even the most hardened sailors observe the ritual with quiet respect.
