1818 Tools and Support

2020 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. Blanco’s organization, AARI, also runs Lumen Clubs that serve as rest stations for the order across both regions of Talea.

2222 Origins
2323  
2424 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.
