Castle Light 
Castle Light is a location belonging to The Divers. It is a sub-location in the Celtor Wastes.
It is a starting location for those using the Deepbound origin.
Overview[]
Castle Light is a (relatively) safe area within the First Layer belonging to The Divers. It is a castle with multiple lanterns floating around, brightening the surrounding area and making it visible from the outside. It's guarded by Journeyman Diver NPCs and stationary light-armed turrets that fire at monsters and hostile players. Additionally, it also has a Life Barrier preventing entry. Entry will only be granted if the player has entered The Depths through a whirlpool and does not have the vacant flaw, or is using the Deepbound Origin. However, you can still enter if you died in Trial of One with the Lone Warrior origin. It is also the only place to descend into Layer 2 with friends and with a safety net through the form of the Light Hook.
It is also the only place the First Layer of the depths in which you can regenerate sanity / not go insane naturally, only if you are deepbound. It also features a stove, which functions as a campfire. It is the only natural campfire in the entirety of the depths. (Which, of course, you have to be Deepbound in order to use it.)

Notes[]
- While considered a "safe zone" to some extent, monsters CAN enter the barrier. Journeymen Diver NPC's may kill some monsters, but stronger monsters, such as King threshers or Mudskipper Broodlords, will quickly kill the divers.
- Occasionally, three black diver npcs can spawn. This happens when there are too many monsters or a player with bad reputation with the Divers enters.
- Castle Light has the only blacksmith in the depths, making it very useful if you need to repair your armor after farming.
- If killed with a death ID (Text reading You died to), you will not be able to enter Castle Light, unless you are Deepbound.
- Castle Light can be entered if the player went through a whirlpool or used Call of the Deep.
- Castle Light can be considered the safest area in The Depths to take a break in, featuring a Deepbound exclusive stove, multiple vendors and sanity regeneration for those using Deepbound.
- That said, Castle Light is a common spot for ganks, it is advised to be wary of large groups of players.
- Castle Light is the only place where along with guards, there are also turrets that attack hostiles.
- Larger mobs (King Threshers, King Jellyfish, etc) are often unable to enter the rooms of Castle Light due to the small entrances.
- It is advised to not attack the guards as they have a large amount of health and can quickly become a problem even for experienced players.
- Castle Light used to have normal divers guarding, then got replaced by Black divers, then got replaced with Journeyman Divers.
- The Antiquarian can only be interacted with if you are Deepbound. Any player that is not Deepbound cannot use the Antiquarian, regardless of their reputation with the Divers.
- It is possible to enter despite drowning, but requires the assistance of another player.
- Do note that if you defeat Chaser after doing this glitch, you will be allowed to pass through the barrier as if you entered the Depths via a whirlpool.
- Defeating Ethiron spawns you in Castle Light if you entered via the Layer 1 void, but you still will not be allowed to pass through the barrier, forcing you to reset.
