''Posidofan'' is [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] word for a lighthouse, stemming from the [[Istroyan]] ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp. Posidofan denoted the difference from its predecessor the ''pila pira'' (Eng. pyre, lit. fire pile) in that is included housing accommodations for a lighthouse keeper. In the 1890s there was an attempt by the Viceimperial Burgoignesc Lighthouse Service to adopt the word ''cabine della pira'' (Eng. Lighthouse), but the traditionalists in the maritime services never used the new word and the last recorded publication of ''cabina della pira'' was on a nautical chart of [[Wintergen]] from [[1904]]. | ''Posidofan'' is [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] word for a lighthouse, stemming from the [[Istroyan]] ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp.

The first maritime navigation "lights" in [[Burgundie#History|Burgoignesc history]] were known as "fotia", the [[Istroyan]] word for fire, circa 3000BCE. These pyres were lit near villages when fishermen were not home before dark. This practice remained unchanged until Latinics set up more permanent settlements in [[Burgundie]] around the year 500CE. At that time, they introduced more permanent structures called "pila pira" (Eng. fire pile). The first ''pila pira'' was built in [[Port Diteaux]] in [[1084]] to facilitate trade with mainland [[Levantia]]. The pyre had a stone base 18 meters tall and platform for a massive pyre 12 meters squared. In [[1175]], a ''pila pira'' was built in [[Vilauristre]]. This enabled the [[Bergendii]] to become early adopters of nocturnal navigation and docking, a technique the doubled the amount of time they could trade, giving them an advantage over other [[Sea of Istroya]] and [[Canete]] powers. | The first maritime navigation "lights" in [[Burgundie#History|Burgoignesc history]] were known as "fotia", the [[Istroyan]] word for fire, circa 3000BCE.
