Obscure Aesthetic Recommendations: Lighthousecore Edition

Do you enjoy the aesthetic of dusty lighthouses ( probably haunted by the ornery spirits of previous keepers ), small coastal towns, dark nautical themes, and eldritch maritime entities? If so, these are some recommendations for you.

Image credit is to "uncanny system" on Pinterest

Books:

One of my current WIPs ( shameless advertisement on part of yours truly - the WIP hasn't been published but I do plan on doing so once I have finished it )

The Mountain In The Sea by Ray Nayler

The Cursed Soul by K. C. Smith

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne

Video Games:

Dredge (2023) developed by Black Salt Games

Sunless Sea ( released in 2015, has since updated ) developed by Failbetter Games Ltd.

Movies and Shows:

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Seas ( film adaptation of the 1869 novel/book by Jules Verne )

Song of the Sea ( 2014 film produced in Ireland )

Music and Playlists:

Amhran na Farraige ( song featured in Song of the Sea; "Amhran na Farriage translates to. "Song of the Sea" in Gaeilge )

What Lies Beneath - Underwater horror ambience ( composed by Robert Austin Music; I feel that this appeals to the more haunted aspect of this aesthetic )

Amhran na Leabhar ( song by M. Máire Ní Shúilleabháin )

You're a Lighthouse Keeper in a Small Seaside Village A Playlist ( playlist compiled by "ameplaylists" on Youtube )

In Too Deep ( song by Emir Isilay and Carrah Flahive )

Other Aesthetics That You May Enjoy:

Sailorcore

Piratecore

Dark Nautical

Something is driving me to keep going until I drop dead, I can't find the source of this force... it's coming from somewhere deep in my subconscious and I'm trying my best to drown it, to smother it, but it won't go quietly.

Tumblr used to be a physical place. It was a large theater built inside of a cliff. The cliff was by a stormy seaside town where all of life began. One night, there was a hurricane, and the Tumblr theater collapsed. This unleashed the Tumblr people upon the town, and thus began the world.

Adventure: Grasping for Answers

Throughout their early adventures the party come into conflict with the agents of the mysterious mage known only as "The Ravelling Hand", a villain of uncertain identity who seems to have lots of schemes and no qualms using violence, trickery, and unexpected magic to get what they want.

Adventure Hooks:

The party first become entangled with the hand's minions when they're asked by an innocuous travelling merchant to deliver a small wrapped parcel to the wizard living one town over. The wizard isn't open to receiving guests, and after sneaking or charming their way in, the party will find out why: her apprentice has been kidnapped, the parcel contains both of the boy's index fingers as well as a note explaining that she can have the rest of him back in exchange for several dangerous texts in her collection, delivered by the party to the same intermediary who hired them. A brawl is likely to ensue as the wizard suspects the party is in on the blackmail, but if they can talk her down maybe they can figure out a way to work together to get the boy back before any more harm comes to him.

Most thieves know better than to try and rob a magic item shop, but most thieves aren't armed with dispel magic infused salt grenades to neutralize the shop's ubiquitous defences. A rash of these attacks across the duchy has shopkeepers worried, and one hires the party to stake out their store for the night when they suspect someone is casing it. Do the party trail the robbers back to their hideout, or interrupt them mid heist only for combat to delay them long enough for those indiscriminate defences to start turning back on?

Spoiler Alert: The mage is in fact an arcanely gifted lesser kraken by the name of Dlexx who seeks to avail itself of all the magical knowledge amassed on land. Sure the deep has its own mysteries but there's a thriving trade in spellscrolls and arcane tomes that don't make it below the waves. Using an old lighthouse as a disguise for its massive form while on land, it uses telepathy and sendings to direct its minions without ever revealing its true nature. Imagine the party's surprise when they roll up to the villain's lair expecting to bully some crusty nerd with a ratty beard and instead the lair sprouts tentacles that drag them into the crashing surf.

Challenges & Consequences

Finding Dlexx is an adventure in and of itself. When questioned, most of the mage's minions admit to never having met their employer, and those high ranking enough to have been summoned to a place called "saltbite tower" in dreams only to later have their memories muddled. Careful interrogation and study of local maps will have the party realize that the tower is infact an abandoned lighthouse, which will narrow their search as they comb the costline for their enemy's lair.

Actually defeating the Ravelling Hand might prove too much for early level adventurers, as in addition to being a powerful mage the kraken is literally in its element, able to breathe and move while the heroes flounder. Dlexx will toy with them, throwing unconscious foes out of the water the way a fisherman throws back a catch that is too small. When the battle is over and it's proved it's point the kraken will collapse the tower and leave into the wide ocean, telepathically taunting them with their inability to follow.

Though the Ravelling Hand will not resurface for some time, the destruction of the tower and Dlexx's retreat into the deep is partially a bluff. The kraken chose that particular lighthouse because it was a short distance away from the coral reef into which it scribed its arcane learning the way a wizard records spells in a book, coiling arms etching formulae into hundreds of yards of living stone. Dlexx must periodically return to the reef to add spells to it, and sightings by locals (or the occasional fish manifesting with magical talent) might clue the party into the reef's existence.

A pair of merfolk siblings named Crashing-Tide and Arcing-Mirror serve the Ravelling Hand as apprentices and scribes, having promised seven years of utmost loyalty in exchange for the chance to bring the arcane knowledge of the surface back to their community. They tend to the reef, and allow the Kraken to borrow their eyes from afar so that it might study the spells scribed there. Several years into their pledge, Crash (the sister) has come to idolize Dlexx and the power it wields above and below the waves, wishing that the whole of their shoal to come into its service. Mirror (the brother) is skeptical, well aware of the kraken's manipulations and distantly suspicious of the conflict that it invokes. Perhaps if the party can intercede with these two they can learn more about their enemy's plans, though doing so will take some careful diplomacy.
