Sure thing, that’s a neat hook. If it’s a 17th‑century lighthouse, we could start by digging up the actual keeper’s log—those journals are full of odd light failures and strange sea currents. Then we can weave the “enchanted” element as a myth that grew from a real lantern that never went out, even in a storm. How does that sound for a first draft?

That sounds wonderful, I’m all in. Let’s start by pinning down the exact year the mishap happened, then we can imagine the keeper’s hands trembling as he flips through the worn pages. Once we have the dates, we can sprinkle that mystery light and let the legend unfold. I'm ready to dive in whenever you are.

Absolutely, 1683 gives us a lot of atmosphere. Picture the keeper, eyes darting across the log as the waves pound the rocks, and then that one page where the lantern stays lit against the gale. That’s our spark. Let’s flesh out the keeper’s name, the exact lighthouse—perhaps a modest structure on the coast of Brittany—and the strange light that later becomes the “Enchanted Lantern.” I’ll dig up some details and we’ll weave the legend together.
