How Lantern story worlds connect

From one story to a whole Universe.

A Galaxy gathers related Worlds, connecting stories that share a larger setting or creative thread. Worlds, Galaxies, and Universes are optional—writers can use only the levels their stories need.

Lantern hierarchy: a World contains one story’s people, places, lore, and art; a Galaxy brings related Worlds together; and a Universe brings related Galaxies together. Every level is optional.

Inside this Galaxy

Maps, lore & atmosphere

The Vauclain line has kept watch over forty acres of Louisiana ground for generations. Beneath the hollow, four ancient beings sleep behind a covenant maintained through boundaries, memory, and blood.

Last Frost begins at the moment Hortense Vauclain decides inheritance is not the same thing as consent. The stories that follow trace what happens when a family obligation is broken open—and when the creatures inside it are finally allowed to answer for themselves.

Key threads: the Vauclain bloodline, the boundary walk, the last frost, the hollow, inherited bargains, and the difference between keeping a promise and perpetuating a prison.
