The Lantern is a location in the wasteland occupied by the Enlightened.
Background[]
The Lantern was founded by the Enlightened some time after the Great War, after they had split off from the Cult of the Mothman, and left Lucky Hole Mine during the exodus. Wise Charles the Forewarned led them far away from Appalachia, to a place he envisioned as being "a beacon of safety and home for those that had heard the Truth and been Enlightened," where they founded their church.[1]
It is a place of study for the Enlightened, and a delegation left from here for the Mothman Equinox, as they went on a pilgrimage to the "Wise One's homeland".[2] The location is also said to have a shining light and glow.[3][4]
Appearances[]
The Lantern is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Night of the Moth update.
