Greywater Light
Proposed nameTidewell's post: a small, old lighthouse on the Sliver, a knife of black rock that is the only charted land on Tidewell, near the oldest platform. Its lamp was the colony's weather and distress beacon; it went dark in the Switch-Off and came back with a relay in the lamp room. The flame is painted on the bell buoy off the rock's lee. Below it, kelp shelves fall into the deep.
