Scæyfig Lighter (culture)

Hailing from the southern coasts of Lonely Light, the Scæyfig Lighters are a tough and hardy people. Most Scæyfig Lighters on the isle make their living on farming leeks and trawling the misty waters of the coast. There is a dock in front of every village, where women and children spend the day weaving giant nets or spearing any Spined Eels that get too close. To protect the village, each dock has a Sea Dragon that is painted down its entire length, along with dozens of lanterns attached to the sides to guide the fishermen home.

The many vessels on the coastline have led to several early detections of Lich fleets, leading to the invasion ending before it even sees the coast. Historically, the Scæyfig Lighters have avoided the trappings of glory and power, and as such regard the Aegis as a necessary evil to be kept at arm's length. However, their scouting skills on the water and their reliability during a crisis have led to Scæyfig Lighters being declared The Aegiskiep at many a Scælzamotk.
