A fireside adventure · Heroic Horizons

The Lantern Trail

The Wanderer has a fire waiting. His lantern has lost its light.

You stand at a crossroads at dusk. The Wanderer left his lantern here to guide guests to his fire, but a sudden wind has scattered its three glimmers across the old trail. Visit the grove, bridge, and tower in any order; solve a riddle at each place; then carry the restored lantern back to the fire. Your choices along the way shape the ending. Hints are available, and there is no timer.

Music is off until you choose to play it.

Prologue · at the crossroads

The lantern is dark.

Beyond these hills, the Wanderer has kept a place for you beside his fire. He left this lantern at the crossroads to guide you, but the road is fading into night. Three scattered glimmers wait somewhere on this map. Find them to relight the lantern, then make your way to him. Which trail will you take first?
