Firstlight
Item from Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas
The magical energy harvested from Vanir during the Drop — Midgard's power source, the Asteri's food supply, and the single greatest lie holding civilization together.
Also known as: Firstlight, The Light
What They Know
- Firstlight is generated during the Drop — the ritual where a Vanir's power becomes permanent, releasing a burst of energy
- The Asteri consume firstlight directly — the city's infrastructure is designed to channel it to them first, then distribute the remainder
- Secondlight — the energy of the dead — is a related but distinct power source, harvested in the Bone Quarter
- Without the Asteri's siphoning, Midgard's firstlight supply would be self-sustaining — they take far more than the system needs to function
