South Beacon

The South Beacon is a lighthouse in southern Auridon, northwest of the city of Vulkhel Guard. It monitored the strait between Auridon and Summerset, but has recently been taken over by Maormer pirates, who are using the beacon to guide raiding ships through Auridon's reefs. Captain Ciranya was responsible for defending the lighthouse and was taken prisoner by the Maormer along with her men as part of their plan to invade Vulkhel Guard.
