The Lumen
The Lumen are the order at the center of life in Talea. They catch, train, and battle Animon, and they serve as the land's dedicated protectors. As Trey sets out on his journey, he is drawn into their world.
Who the Lumen Are
A Lumen is someone who catches, trains, and battles Animon, using the Holoken as their essential tool. The order traces back to an empire military faction that became Talea's protectors. In the present, the Lumen are organized into squadrons stationed across the regions of Logos and Mythos.
Squadrons
The Lumen operate in squadrons, each tied to a place or a leader. Confirmed examples include:
Squadron / Role | Connection |
|---|---|
Magnolia squadron | The squadron of Max, Trey's mentor. |
Costa Linda squadron | Captained by Nipo. |
Voltar | Watched over by Anne, a beloved local figure. |
The Lumen and Trey
Trey is mentored in the ways of the Lumen by Max. Learning to catch and battle Animon is part of his path, and the order connects him to many of the people he meets. See Characters for those figures.
Tools and Support
The Lumen rely on devices and infrastructure to do their work, from the Holoken for catching to the Anispace for housing creatures. Researchers such as Kapan and organizations led by figures like Blanco support that infrastructure.
Origins
The Lumen were forged by conflict. After Talea's unifying Emperor died without choosing an heir between his twin sons, civil war broke out between Logos in the north and Mythos in the south. Part of the empire's military broke away to shield ordinary people and Animon from the fighting, and that group became the Lumen. Today they stand as guardians in their provinces, keeping the peace across both regions.
