Mosslight Fen
Wick Willowcap
“A soup-bowl-sized marsh newt with deep green skin, a cream belly, and a little belt of silver charms, carrying a seed lantern under one arm.”
Wick is a tiny fen lantern-maker who fits in a soup bowl and treats every bright thing like it has a name. He loves helping friends feel less lonely, but he gets so eager to please that he sometimes agrees before he understands the full plan.

When the Frogs Fall Silent
The quiet frogs in the marsh all go silent at once, and the usual chorus that tells everyone what time it is simply stops. Without the frog-song, the fen feels oddly unsteady, like something important has gone missing.
The Mixed-Up Firefly Signals
All around the fen, the fireflies begin blinking out of time with one another, so the nighttime signals no longer match. Friends who depend on the flashes to meet, guide, or count one another are suddenly confused.
