Lighthouse Materialisation Points
Notes from the Director of the Salvage Insurance Bureau
![Handinote Legal:
<p>Cream colored graph paper with blue lines; in the upper left are the words 'Handinote LEGAL' and a stamp with a shape of a lantern on it that reads 'SALVAGE INSURANCE BUREAU'. The main document title reads 'LIGHTHOUSE MATERIALISATION POINTS - BUREAU EYES ONLY'. A notepad reads:
Tamm, per request we pulled these from the bureau records for you. They have to pass through the compliance office first so apologies for any redactions, you know we’re trying our best! Anyway, here’s the rundown:<br />
A. There are [REDACTED] known LMPs in Coalition territory.
B. [REDACTED]
C. Each Lighthouse has a spirit / keeper who dwells there. I think the Director had some notes to add, will ask. I know you’re acquainted with the one at Zone 2 but we’d like to cover all our angles.<br />
D. CEB and Arboreal Affairs have [REDACTED] to the Wind Farm. The Spirit isn’t happy about this but hasn’t done anything to stop them. Either it can’t [REDACTED] or they’re choosing not to. Unclear.<br />
E. Neither the LMPs or the Lighthouses themselves existed pre-war as far as anyone can tell. See below.

"Did you know that Tamm was banned for life from the weather shrine? Some kind of 'mishap' during a field trip as a kid. They would have been kicked out of the orphanage system entirely if there hadn't been witnesses confirming it was an accident. The report said the spirits were caused 'undue harm' by it.
I struck it from the kid's record when they were assigned to us."
