This minor artifact is an immobile object gifted to the town of [[Willowshore]] by the founder of the Tan Sugi Monastery, [[Zhi Hui]]. For the town’s entire history, the Eternal Lantern has stood sentinel near the settlement’s heart, its light never wavering after Zhi Hui placed a few copper coins within it. Some believe that it’s possible to receive blessings from the deities whose shrines stand in Willowshore by placing copper coins within the Eternal Lantern in exchange for additional protection, but for the most part, the people of Willowshore have become used to the ever-burning lantern at the southern steps of [[Dawnstep Bridge]].
