Sure, the Chapel of Lights has fires and torches and things, but if you visit there enough you realize that's not exactly what they're interested in up there. So is that what "lights" necessarily means? What if it means sense 2, as in "lungs", as in "heart and lights"...As in something that could be eaten. As in, a reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely...
Am I experiencing an apophenic fit, or am I merely cottoning on to something everyone else already knows?

[spoiler] actually, Mr. Eaten gets a storylet at Sacksmas where he asks you to accept his heart and lights. so probably a good connection there. [/spoiler]
i also was unaware of this meaning until FL. and then it turned up in my early and middle english literature class. :P

There's also a story in Shepherd Isles, one of the Thornwell Croft-related ones that references "The Ship of Lights" but Light in that one is referred to as "that old devil". If Light is literally a devil that's kind of inconsistent. If the crofters just meant devil metaphorically it would make more sense.
A ship captained by [spoiler]Mr Eaten[/spoiler]....eeeeeeeee.

Students of the lore will also note that there is a large well on the Chapel's island.

[spoiler]Mr Eaten is Mr Candles. He was a Master who was stabbed, drowned in a well, and consumed. Mr Veils arranged it in order to obtain the Third City as well as eliminate a perceived threat. Whether Mr Eaten was actually involved in what happened in the Second City isn't known, as far as I'm aware. I haven't played Sunless Sea yet, so I'm not sure if there are any clues about what actually happened back then.[/spoiler]

I was, but only due to a lifetime of reading fantasy books filled with archaic English, and history books filled with even more.
I song Old English songs in the shower, even.
