Gnomish firefly lamps were decorative lamps that were popular at parties held by the nobility across Faerûn.[1]
Description[]
A typical firefly lamp consisted of a basket-shaped container made of a wired mesh that served as a trap to capture fireflies. The glow provided by the fireflies did not provide any useful illumination, but made for a nice eye-catching atmospheric glow in gardens or darkened rooms. Captured fireflies died if not released by the end of the evening.[1]
Gnomish firefly lamps were available for purchase through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.[1]
History[]
These lamps became popular among the nobility in several cities, including Arabel, Neverwinter, Silverymoon, Suzail, and Waterdeep, in the 1360s DR.[1]
