Naw, I meant the Seeker type candles along the lines of St Arthur and St Beau.

Isn't the mystery of Foxfire Candle Stubs already solved? http://community.failbettergames.com/topic96-why-are-there-no-foxes-in-the-city.aspx

My extended theory: The Black Mountain is an active volcano on the Elder Continent, the place where the foxes reside. The magma and ash from the Black Mountain boils and kills surrounding plants and animals, which then creates hardened wax from their remains. As tradesmen go to collect the wax, they pass the foxes who happen to live nearby. ...And that's the explanation for "foxfire" candles?

There's a bunch of notable mountains in the Neath. I sometimes get them confused: the Mountain of Light (related to the Garden and based in the Elder Continent), the Black Mountain (located far South, possibly the Elder Continent), and the black Zee-mountain (the one made of black glass which "traps sailors" or some such thing). The last two are mentioned when you Tell tall tales with the Salty Fabulist but for all I know, they're the same mountain viewed from different angles (on land and in the sea).
