The Luminari

Guardians of Luminea

The Luminari are an ancient order of sorcerers who reside on the ethereal isle of Luminea, a floating realm suspended high above the magical province of Magval-Nok. They are renowned for their deep understanding of light-based magic and their commitment to preserving the delicate balance between both magic and the natural world.

Origins of the Luminari:

According to ancient tales, the Luminari trace their lineage back to a time when a cataclysmic event reshaped the magical landscape of Magval-Nok. It is said that a convergence of celestial energies infused the land with radiant light, creating Luminea, the floating isle. In the wake of this event, a group of gifted sorcerers emerged, drawn to the isle by an innate affinity for light and a desire to harness its power for good.

Mastery of Light Magic:

The Luminari devote their lives to mastering the intricacies of light-based magic. They study the interplay between illumination and illusion, harnessing radiant energies to create blinding bursts, dazzling illusions, and healing radiance. Through rigorous training, meditation, and the study of ancient tomes, they unlock the secrets of their craft, honing their abilities to manipulate and shape light at will.

The Illuminated Sanctums:

Scattered across Luminea, the Luminari maintain sanctums dedicated to the study and practice of light magic. These sanctums, adorned with luminous crystals and intricate patterns of refracted light, serve as secluded havens where Luminari apprentices and experienced sorcerers refine their skills and exchange knowledge. Each sanctum focuses on a specific aspect of light magic, such as healing, illusion, or celestial divination.

The Radiant Council

At the heart of the Luminari order lies the Radiant Council, a group of esteemed sorcerers chosen for their exceptional mastery of light magic. The council is responsible for guiding the order, making important decisions, and preserving the teachings and traditions of the Luminari. Their wisdom and expertise ensure that the delicate balance between light, magic, and the natural world is upheld.

The Glowweavers' Rites:

Once every generation, the Luminari gather for the solemn ritual known as the Glowweavers' Rites. During this mystical ceremony, they infuse their bodies with concentrated light energy, attuning themselves to the very essence of Luminea. This ritual not only strengthens their magical abilities but also serves as a powerful bond that unites the Luminari in their shared purpose and dedication to the radiant arts.

Followers of an Old God:

The Luminari follow that of an old god called Solara, the Sunforged, said to be the true embodiment of radiant light and creator of the Luminea. They no longer wage war in her name, but have instead choose to follow her other tenet, that being life bringer. Most of Luminari choose to bring life rather then take it, causing most of them to become clerics or paladins.
