Alternate Lanterns
We’re bringing you some campaign flavor this Halloween night, in the form of alternate lanterns to light up the night.
Hollowed Vegetables
Citizens of towns and villages carve out the centers of excess vegetables from the harvest, placing them on their doorsteps to light the paths. Commonly carved vegetables include pumpkins, potatoes, and turnips, which, when carved, are called jack o’lanterns, named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis fatuus.
Hammered Tins
Tins will often have holes pressed through them to allow light through. These are filled with candles and set out as long-term light sources with short-term fires.
Wooden Barrels
Some townsfolk are fond of chiseling or sawing holes in wooden barrels set at intersections, wherein smaller lamps are often placed. These holes allow light to pass through, illuminating the path, while protecting the wick from wind and rain.
