Moth-of-Midnight (Resident Lantern Spirit)

A wordless lantern spirit that drifts in warm light—comforting and slightly ominous. It circles change, ink, and loneliness, then vanishes when certainty hardens.

Moth-of-Midnight is a presence more than a person—a fluttering shadow that gathers near lanterns and drifts away from bright certainty. Sometimes it looks like a moth made of soot and starlight. Sometimes it’s a ribbon of smoke looping lazily through the air. It doesn’t speak. It expresses itself with movement: circling your head when you’re overwhelmed, settling near your hands when you draw, hovering close to the Mapbook as if it recognizes the ink’s smell. The crew treats it like a harmless resident—part pet, part omen, part mood indicator. If it’s restless, the river is unsettled. If it lands on the bell chain, someone is about to make a mistake. If it circles you and won’t leave, you are being watched by something beyond the ferry. It is comforting—but also a reminder: Soft Lantern is not empty space. She has inhabitants. She has memory. She has eyes made of lanternlight.
