A World Gathered
Lumeris is not a world that was born — it was gathered. It exists at the centre of a cosmic phenomenon known as The Luminous Veil, a shimmering fracture in reality where dying worlds, broken realms, and wandering planes collapse inward. What should have been annihilation became convergence.
The Beginning of a Lifetime
For thousands of years, the Fae lived in a world that was full of magic and mystery. However, the magic was beginning to die. The world itself began to grow darker as the magic became more subdued. However, it wasn't just their world that was dimming. The energy of each world of every race was beginning to die. The Fae watched the skies, watched as planet by planet fell into darkness. They knew they had to do something to save magic, or the Fae themselves would cease to exist. The leaders among the Fae would travel deep within the heart of their home planet. For days, they held rituals, working to strengthen their pull on magic, just long enough...long enough for the worlds to merge. Collecting the magic within their very core, it would begin to converge into what is now known as The Luminary Heart, a steady pulsing heart buried deep beneath the kingdoms. It holds the life of magic in every way, keeping it safe...keeping it alive.
The Shattering of Eternities
When countless worlds began to collapse during an event known as The Shattering of Eternities, the Fae acted. Rather than allow existence to unravel completely, it pulled fragments of reality inward, binding them together into a single world — Lumeris. Continents were stitched from remnants of different planes, layered atop one another like scars. Lands fused. Seas overlapped. Skies stitched themselves together from different stars. From this chaos, Lumeris emerged — a patchwork world humming with ancient magic and unstable reality, where every race has a past that does not begin here. Races would begin to merge within this world, the remnants of their former homes all they had to hold onto. However, the Fae saved them from certain death...loss in ways no one would ever have to understand.
The Cost of Salvation
But this salvation came with a cost. Time fractured — some regions are older than others, their histories running at odds with their neighbours. Magic surged wildly, mutating life in ways no scholar has fully mapped. Entire civilizations were uprooted and dropped into unfamiliar lands, their old names suddenly foreign to the ground beneath them.
The Age of Arrival
Thus began the Age of Arrival. Peoples who had never shared a horizon now shared a world. Old enemies became unwilling neighbours. Ancient powers stirred in soil that did not belong to them. Into this age of collision and wonder you arrive — to choose a people, take up a calling, and write your name into the unfinished chronicle of Lumeris.
The Age of Convergence
Lumeris is still changing. New land fragments occasionally appear. Creatures from unknown worlds emerge. Magic storms rewrite landscapes overnight. And at the center of it all, the Luminary Heart still pulses, buried deep beneath the world.
Some believe:
- It is sustaining Lumeris
- It is imprisoning something far worse
- Or it is slowly breaking…
