Its priestly keepers were among the last clergy in Rahadoum to be executed or exiled under the Laws of Man, defiantly proclaiming, “The guiding light can never be extinguished.” Secular forces assumed control of the lighthouse, but all perished the following winter during a terrible plague and their superiors abandoned attempts to occupy the complex. Their deaths fueled rumors that the lighthouse was cursed, although locals whisper tales of a benevolent light shining from its tower when travelers needed it most. The reputation of the Guidestar drew the attention of Maghara, a young copper dragon, who took up residence in the sandy, cave-riddled cliffs overlooking the sea beneath the ruins. The copper dragon found it amusing to reinforce the legends, using spells and trickery to convince visitors the tower and temple were haunted or cursed, filled with strange lights and sounds. He also fulfilled the other aspect of the legend, occasionally lighting the Guidestar’s beacon to help a distant ship find its way safely past the rocky shoals and the outskirts of the persistent storm. Maghara traveled around the outskirts of the Eye and visited the Shackles, encountering a copper female named Rokiere there. He also learned of the corrupt Cult of Dahak and its wyrm priestess, Aashaq the Annihilator. After a tempestuous courtship (by dragon standards), Maghara and Rokiere mated and he returned to Rahadoum. Sometime later, the crew of a ship called the Farthing sought out the young copper’s lair, carrying a brief message from Rokiere: “Come to Motaku Isle.” Impressed that the Farthing and its crew had braved the Eye to carry Rokiere’s message, Maghara felt it only fair to accompany them on the return voyage. Rather than skirt the Shackles around the Cannibal Isles or Shark Island, the dragon and crew tried to slip past the Rampore Isles and Bag Island, close to Dahak’s Fang. Aashaq the Annihilator herself came swooping out of the clouds like a raptor, breathing fire. Maghara attempted to fend off the great wyrm and give the Farthing a chance to escape, but he was no match for Aashaq. Maghara remembers burning light, and pain, and then darkness… Then there was light again—a soft glow like starlight, calling to him, almost singing. Maghara soared free past the waves and the clouds, to the glowing pinnacle of the Guidestar of Desna. A gentle, compassionate voice spoke to him. “The guiding light is needed, and can never be extinguished,” the goddess said. “Your work is not yet done.” Maghara’s burned and broken body sank among the Shackles, but his spirit returned to Phahalen Island. He had no choice but to laugh—for the ruins of the Guidestar were now truly haunted.
