So much of our fantasy fiction takes place in medieval conditions. As citizens in a world polluted by light, we take it for granted. It would be interesting to experience medieval life and to deal with untamed surroundings and true darkness. There are so many stories about what dwells in that darkness. When the sun goes down, familiar landscapes change and leave us disoriented, lost, and vulnerable. It’s a place for our unconscious minds to really get creative. In our current world, we can just flick on a light and find comfort in its beam. What if that wasn’t possible? There is a non-fiction book by William Manchester called A World Lit Only by Fire. He does a great job of offering a bit of that experience.

Also, if you are interested in seeing what the light pollution might be like in your area, there are several resources online. Here is a link to a map: https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/.
