XO HARBOR CAST

XO HARBOR / CHARACTER 06 OF 10

The Lantern Bearer.

Keep a light where someone can find it.

The Lantern Bearer stays close enough for a newcomer to follow. His light does not choose the destination for anyone; it makes the next few steps less daunting. In a harbor full of strange turns, a welcoming presence can be the most useful landmark.
