Bladder Lantern

The bladder lantern from tsmi [nectar] and nrr [glow] is a light source used by the Na'vi. While the Na'vi have excellent night vision, augmented by the natural bioluminescence of the plants and animals of Pandora, they enjoy the calming glow that the lanterns give off.
==Description==
These lanterns are used as light source in Na'vi villages, or wherever light is needed.
==Materials and Construction==
Lantern consists of the stomach (or thin-skinned internal organs) of various animals, dried and sewn with twine and leather. The organ's interior is coated with nectar to attract an indigenous glowing insect similar to a Terran firefly, the Glow worm. Those insects, in turn, attract more of their kind, perpetuating and increasing the lantern's glow.
==Trivia==
*Though the Na'vi have naturally excellent night vision, they enjoy the calming glow provided by these lanterns inside Hometree.
*Bladder lantern had a previous Na'vi name Tmi nat'sey, which was meant to mean "food here".James Cameron's Avatar: An Activist Survival Guide page 35Bladder lantern page on Pandorapedia
