( it IS extremely curious how life persists on this planet without a sun. Matt is not the person to explain the science of that one... if it even is science. how do you like magic, Hux? because that's an often accepted explanation around here. )

I couldn't guess how it works. There's a doctor around that might have more to say on the matter, if you're interested in asking. Goes by Ingram, you can contact him through your device.

( as for how other people see... ) There's torches, available at the bonfire. You can talk to the attendant to get one if you need one, they offer a little more light than a lantern alone.
