Lanthorn, a city of floating stone over a bottomless blue gulf, kept aloft by golden lift the Keyward Bank sells. Wick Tallow lights Candlefall's lamps for a living and opens other people's locks for a slightly better one. Tonight the bank lists Candlefall to be let go at the Ninth Bell and sink into the Underblue. Wick will rob the Ninth Vault, where her disgraced grandfather swore the city's buried sun lies. A wry, warm heist with nothing underneath.
