The Candle

The 40 foot stone pillar stands proud in the middle of the town square, silently humming with enchantment. Some say it guarantees the spring rains and mild winters that make this area fertile while other believe it keeps the town safe from the wilds beyond. Whatever it's purpose, the blaze that lights atop it each sunset to sunrise call all those around to seek it's light.

Every major town in the Langwilid Empire has a Candle as it's center and it seems to be sized and customized slightly for it's town. The Candle of Brightwick is particularly unique as it has what appears to be writing spiraling up from below where it breeches the earth. The script changes periodically and seemingly without pattern, each time to a language that no-one as of yet recognizes.

Tomlin Reindhald, A state-sponsored researcher has spent the last decade attempting to understand the meaning of the Candle's script, to very little success.
