“To light the path for others — that was the dream. But the swamp remembers, and so do the worms.” There was a time, not so long ago, when the Lantern March was meant to save lives. The mist-choked marshes of the Outer Reach — nameless wetlands beyond the edges of mapped civilization — had long swallowed caravans, messengers, and entire supply trains without a trace. So the frontier folk struck an accord: a string of permanent lantern posts would be placed along a carefully carved trail, lighting the way through even the thickest fog. For months, brave trailcutters and swamp-guides set to work, braving quickmire, disease, and isolation to hammer posts deep into the muck and hang ever-burning lights. The trail crept deeper and deeper into the wild, mile by mile. The furthest marker was said to be a day’s walk from the last outpost — a twisted lantern hanging from a bent black hook. That’s where they stopped. That’s where the dying began. When the next crew of surveyors arrived, they found the trail overgrown and partially sunken. No sign of the first team — no blood, no tools, no bones. But the lanterns still burned. And stranger still, a new post had appeared — one that hadn’t been listed on the final maps. It stood deeper in the mire, beyond where anyone had dared go. They thought it a mistake, a good omen even. So they followed it. They never returned. What the settlers didn’t know was that deep beneath the swamp’s surface, ancient and forgotten parasites had long festered — wormlike organisms that lived in the flesh of drowned predators and the dead. These parasites, once simple scavengers, had evolved together, forming hive-consciousnesses capable of animating corpses from within. The swamp had become their breeding ground — and now, their hunting ground. One of the trailcutters — a guide known only as Halmar — had fallen alone into a hidden sinkhole. He died with his lantern still lit, his blood feeding the earth. The parasites found him, hollowed him, and began to move inside his rotting body. In the stillness, they learned his posture. His patterns. His memories. They mimicked the tools he carried. And they held up his lantern. Other creatures followed. A bloated swamp bear. A massive fish-beast. Even an old drake corpse sunk in a bog. Each host was more twisted than the last. The parasites did not build a monster. They built a symbol. They realized the lantern itself drew people in — not the scent, not the warmth, but the promise of direction, of light in the dark. The hive began to wait, motionless, just beyond the real trail. Not chasing prey — simply standing. Watching. Letting the next victim come to them. Every time someone disappears near a trail lantern, the people assume they drowned or got lost. But the truth is older and worse. The creature that devoured them now stands in their place. And it will not move again. Not until another comes close enough to believe it is part of the path. Dozens of these things are scattered across the swamps. Many don’t even feed anymore — their parasites dead or dormant, their husks silent and collapsed in the mud. But some still flicker. Some still shine. And none of them, ever, have been known to leave the spot where they first fed. The few who survive call them Lantern Maws — though “maw” refers more to the void beneath the lantern than a true mouth. Some swampfolk whisper that you can hear the names of the dead spoken in the wind near their glow. Others say if you place a real lantern too close to one, it will mimic it, even change its light’s color to match. Clerics who have tried to burn or bless the creatures report only silence. The parasites retreat too deep. The corpse simply sinks and waits. You cannot kill a Lantern Maw. You can only learn not to follow the light. #LanternMaw #DnD5e #HomebrewMonster #DarkFantasy #UndeadDnD #SwampHorror #MonsterDesign #AIGeneratedArt #FantasyAI #AICharacterDesign #TabletopTerrors #TTRPGHorror #OriginalDnDMonster #DnDStorytime #Horror
