Ward Lantern

A tended circle of light at the edge of the village.

The Ward Lantern is a protection building that needs a keeper and lantern essence. It also participates in the rooted ward network. Check the game’s coverage and connection indicators to see what is protected right now.

01 / Find its place

Make room for it.

Keep the entrance reachable and look at both protection coverage and the link back toward the Hearth. Nearby Path Lanterns can help extend the rooted network.

02 / Help it grow

Improvements & appearance.

Use Improve in the building details to raise its tier, up to tier 3. Read the quoted materials and work time before confirming. The plot stays the same. Style choices change its appearance without changing the footprint or gameplay.

03 / A little help

If something seems stuck.

If a ward is inactive, check its keeper, fuel, current household conditions and connection. A lantern’s visual glow is not a substitute for the protection information in its details.
