I am going to have a cult of Shar take over a lighthouse and turn it into a darkhouse, to mess with trade and stuff. I'll make up my own but as a last case scenario. What lighthouses already exist that I can incorporate?

Off the top of my head, here's the only one I can think of -

There's also the Fang Light maintained by the Simbarch Council of Aglarond.

-What is a darkhouse? That aside, both Lantan and ancient Imaskar seem to call out lighthouse.

It's a lighthouse, but it's... dark. :D

There's the 'The Darkhouse Of Saerloon' adventure in Faiths & Pantheons (3.0, classic FR), where a lighthouse has already been taken over by Sharrans and turned into a temple. That seems to be exactly what you're looking for, already set up, mapped, and ready to use.

Imaskar is land-locked.

Unless you're referring to the Gbor Nor (Brightstar Lake). Bhaluin would be a reasonable place to set one, especially considering it's already got a death-cult going on there. A bit out-of-the-way, though.

I also remember something about a lighthouse in Ondle's Spur in Impiltur.

I definately put one in Westgate, considering it's locale at the mouth of the Dragonmere. Of course, there's really not much need for a Shar-takeover there - everyone is already evil.

I believe there are also canon ones in Calimshan and on the Swordcoast, but I can't recall anything more about them.

-I was looking for a youtube clip, but I couldn't find anything. If you've seen the Lord of the Rings movies (I think it was Return of the King), you'll know what I am talking about. A tower + a portal to the Plane of Radiance = an excellent "searchlight" over the relatively flat grasslands.

-This Family Guy clip works too. Close enough.

Darkhouse was in Dr. Seuss book with Grinch and Cat in the Hat. Grinch builds one.
