Wick Wardens are ghostly figures of men who are cursed to patrolling age-old roadways, even if the roads themselves no longer exist. They carry long poles with a small flame on the end that casts a radius of darkness, rather than normal illumination, as a torch would. The flame also behaves as normal fire, able to ignite and spread to flammable objects, but deals cold damage instead of fire. Wick wardens roam the thoroughfares, diligently tending to the lanterns that line their paths. These lanterns, ignited with the same negative flame, emit an enveloping darkness akin to that cast by their pole lights. Wick wardens never travel alone, traveling in groups of at least two. Wick wardens use the morale in parentheses if they are either separated to be alone or if they are ever outside the radius of a negative flame.
