Having a Lantern is crucial to surviving the pitch-black night. Your Pawns will remind you whenever night is approaching, so make sure to prepare before then.

When using the Lantern, not only does it brighten up the surroundings around the you but also around your Pawns.

How to Light Up Dark Places

How to Add Lantern Oil

Dragon

To fill your Lantern with Lantern Oil, head over to the Implements section of the Items menu and select the Lantern Oil. Choose Add Oil and it will automatically fill it up.

You can check if your Lantern is fully fueled if you see that Add Oil has been greyed out when choosing the Lantern Oil. Do note that the Lantern will be ready to be fueled again as soon as you bring it out.

How to Check Lantern Fuel

Dragon

To check how much Lantern Fuel you have left, you will have to open up your Implements section in the Items menu and check the description of your Lantern. As it depletes, a Fueled Lantern will change from Half-Full, Near-Empty, and eventually, No Fuel.

There is no exact way to check how much fuel is left other than through the Lantern's name and description, so make sure to check regularly!
