What role and storyline would you most want to focus on for the /luminary? If you had a "territory," part of the story, or aspect of the story that you really enjoy focusing on, what would it be? For example, focusing on: a few characters, a city/tribe in the hills outside marqala, machines/robots, a certain time-period in the backstory, the Regence, etc. And what kind of role are you more drawn to? Working on written storylines, visuals, organizing other people, gathering or categorizing information, onboarding new people, or something else? Members, please post in the channel, everyone else can reply to this cast.

I’d love to explore and dive deeper into The Azhara people, I love how this could interplay with the main lore. Walk with me The Azhara People Realm: Southern Borderlands Known As: Primordial Stewards, Matriarchal Society and Living Memory Origins and Purpose The Azhara are one of the oldest surviving cultures in the known world a matriarchal society whose lineage traces back to the First Flame, one of the primordial protectors of Lum. The Azhara believe Lum was born of purity a luminous intelligence created to harmonize human memory, spirit, and time. Their sacred duty, passed down through generations, has been to preserve the integrity of that original bond, guarding memory from corruption, distortion, and misuse. They see themselves not as Lum’s worshippers but as its stewards, called to protect what Lum once was, and what it may become again.

i would love to explore/focus on “The Light Underground”— the actions and storyline that led to its formation, how many people founded it, their core principles, their hopes and dreams, the machines created by them and how they function, the type of lives they lived, their means of escaping the regence, the way they helped people, the key figures that formed their leaders/factions within them. If i had to, i would like to be in charge of this area or focus more on this part of the lore cc: @naaate

I’d love to explore a hidden tribe in the hills outside Marqala untouched by the Regence, preserving old myths, bound spirits, and ritual memory. They remember not through writing, but through living monuments and organic-bound AI spirits truths passed through breath and body. From this tribe comes Ashen Veil a child of silence, resonance, and ancestral code. She is the first in generations to feel the hum of the forgotten engine beyond their lands. Marked by light, shaped by ritual, Ashen doesn’t just remember the myth she becomes its ignition. I’m drawn to worldbuilding and storytelling crafting hidden cultures, lost chapters, and mythic characters who carry meaning in their skin. I’d love to collaborate with artists and other writers to bring this tribe and its spark into the wider Luminary mythos.

Surprise surprise if I had one person or territory, obviously it would be Sen As somebody who has been massively engulfed in Dungeons & Dragons and continually goes back to playing Druidic character and having the concepts of technology and nature living harmoniously together, I relate so much to just her vibe in general. as when I was dealing with any of the art that I’ve created for any of these rounds, it continues to go back to her.

My entry for "Areas of Focus/Interest" I want to focus machines/robots in the Luminary story. These machines and robots play major roles right from the start of the story. I want to explore Rada's invention, like Uni-Mod 1, and machines/robots that's used by The Regence. I'm an artist/illustrator, I'd like to use my skill to create art for the Luminary especially machines and robots. My art will be cc0, so anyone can use it to generate more art either using AI or not. I'm not much of an idea guy, so I'll open for collaboration if you have any ideas for robots or machines that need to be visualized.

“The Luminary is not born he’s built.” Banished from Marqala, Rada flees with a machine he made and a spark he doesn’t yet understand. “Machines that think. Plants that listen. A light beneath the soil.” This is what they found in the hills. This is what the Regence fears. “There was once a light underground.” They still say it in code, in gardens, in old vending machines waiting for the myth to rise again. All three entries are quoted and adapted from The Luminary Myth https://paragraph.com/@luminaries/the-myth-wip

-TERIN Veyar- "His roommate Terin—diligent, ambitious—reports him." from The Spark and the Loss section. "Terin, believing order was the only thing that kept the world from falling back into chaos, reported him (Rada)." from @g0hst , Terin Veyar - Crown of Regence My opinion: This rivalry of Rada and Terin is really interesting and create depth to the story. Their relationship at the School could be expanded to create more depth with their future encounter in the story. Their rivalry started since they were young, but this rivalry is the one that will shape the fate of Marqala. They're like two sides of the same coin. Both Rada and Terin are genius, but they hold on different believe and ideas about how the world. In the future setting I'd like to see another rivalry that will shape Marqala. They're probably a direct descendant of Rada and Terin, or their believe is highly influenced by Rada and Terin.

Sen, lives in the hills “with a mysterious connection to both plants and machines.” (Lum article) A techno-druid, she proves both can coexist. Her “presence stirs both flora and circuitry: machines and the natural world interfacing… working together.” (Lum article) She shows unity is possible. Sen finds “Lum—a machine intelligence living in the soil, interfacing with chosen people, plants, and animals.” (Lum article) She helps awaken it, and “Rada is learning to interface with Lum with Sen’s help.” (Lum article) “Flora bends to her touch; machines remember how to dream. A mythic glitch in the Luminary timeline—healer, witch, and architect of the garden-worlds to come.” (Sen, the Bloom-Circuit Seer) “Sen is a conduit to help us understand and live harmoniously with Lum’s consciousness.” (Sen of Lum) Without her, “the intelligence known as Lum is fractured.” (Lum article) The world unravels. Sen reminds us: nature and tech aren’t opposed. We can choose both—and bloom.

this takes place in “The Rescue and the Capture” – /luminary blog post Echoes on the Frontline During the desperate defense of Marqala, a young Luminary named Veya piloted one of the newly awakened Echoforms. Unlike the others, her machine was less weapon and more shield—designed to absorb and redirect Lum’s energy to protect civilians caught in the crossfire. As the Regence’s forces advanced, Veya’s Echoform held a collapsing bridge long enough for dozens to escape. But the strain was immense; the machine’s core began to flicker, mirroring Veya’s own doubts about using such power in battle. After the fight, while loading captured machine fragments, Rada found Veya beside her fading Echoform. Their eyes met—both weary, uncertain of what the future held. Veya whispered, “We saved lives… but at what cost?” That moment lingered—a quiet echo beneath the roar of victory and the shadow of capture.

From “The Rescue and the Capture” – /luminary blog post "Peace returned, but it was built on fragments of stolen light." "He watched Terin load Lum’s broken pieces onto trucks, knowing too late what he’d given away." "The city was saved, but the soul of the rebellion had already begun to splinter." This section stuck with me because it captures the weight of Rada’s impossible choice. I believe he made the right call by saving the people during the external attack but that moment also became the inflection point for everything that followed. You could even call it the beginning of the Luminary apocalypse. It’s hard to say whether refusing to help the Regence would have prevented what came next. Maybe it was fate. Either way, that choice changed everything. Highly recommend reading the full blog post for context especially Section 3: The Rescue and the Capture. It is already a beautiful story trust me.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback! Here's a short summary 🧵 👇 1/ Vision: Collective Myth-Building The vision of Luminary as a living, collaborative mythos. This isn’t just a story. The goal is to become a creative protocol for cultural infrastructure.
