The Dover Pharos was an abandoned lighthouse situated on the edge of the Dover Cliffs in Kent, England.
In the 870s, the Viking Eivor of the Raven Clan travelled to the ruined lighthouse, finding two Norse brothers, Arne and Frode, in pursue of a tale surrounding the Old Hisser. Eivor helped Frode, who had a sprained ankle, to guide Arne down the tower, following which the two left to retire from their adventures.[1]
While exploring the lighthouse Eivor found a poem relating to Old Hisser and one half of a cryptic pictogram that eventually led to the Hidden One Magister Vitus's Vitus's tomb. There was also a Roman artifact in a small auxiliary building on the cliff edge next to the lighthouse.
