Lanterns are the checkpoints in Valor Mortis. When you choose Surrender from the Pause Menu, you are sent back to the last Lantern you rested at. The game holds 48 named Lanterns across its regions, plus one more in the Abandoned Church, the hub, which has no name of its own and so is not listed by name below.
