Mysterious days spent with the lighthouses of the Seto Inland Sea. *This is fiction based on lighthouse history.*
About
Worldview A world where Funayurei (ship ghosts) actually exist and appear, though life is otherwise much like our own. The Lighthouses drive them away to prevent them from affecting humans. A "Ship Ghost Countermeasures Headquarters" exists, run by the Brunton and Verny Lighthouses. About Lighthouses Tsukumogami-like beings that dwell quietly within lighthouses. Some were originally human, while others simply manifested. When a lighthouse is rebuilt, their personality changes drastically—they might become more childlike or their love might become obsessive. They can be injured, but they do not die. Lighthouses located near shrines or gods associated with the land (especially sea gods) become beings closer to deities themselves. Sea Area Meetings Meetings held centered around a leader lighthouse for regions like Hibiki-nada/Genkai-nada, the Seto Inland Sea, Ise Bay, and Tokyo Bay. - Hibiki-nada/Genkai-nada: Musesaki Lighthouse - Seto Inland Sea: Wadamisaki Lighthouse (Current leader: Tomogashima Lighthouse) - Ise Bay: Nomasaki Lighthouse - Tokyo Bay: Jogashima Lighthouse Ship Ghost Countermeasures Headquarters Meetings A meeting held four times a year where the Verny and Brunton Lighthouses gather to discuss dealing with ship ghosts. However, because Tsurugisaki, Inubosaki, and Nojimasaki always start arguing, it only functions properly about twice a year. About Ship Ghosts Manifestations of memories from maritime accidents and disasters that attempt to drag humans to the bottom of the sea. Lighthouses exterminate them using their respective weapons and abilities, but their numbers rarely decrease. Lighthouse Abilities and Weapons Each possesses a small Fresnel lens from which they manifest abilities or weapons. Strength varies based on whether they have a 1st order lens, are Meiji A-rank lighthouses, or based on their luminous intensity.
