Mysteries & Threats

At the heart of Lumia is a prison, and in the prison is the Prisoner — a unity-seeker who would end all separation, which is to say, end everything. The world was built as much to hold that door shut as to live in. These are the secrets that keep the keepers awake, and the threats that gather at every scale from the mortal to the cosmic.

The Prison and the Prisoner

• The Prisoner & the Aeon — the fall that began the long imprisonment.
• The Five Locks — the prison is not a cage of stone; it is five wounds, each with a guardian.
• The Five Locks Parallel — the same binding, read from the far side of the door.
• The Shadowmoon — the dark satellite that orbits through probability, and how its passing thins the locks.

Threats and factions

• The Villain Hierarchy — evil on three interlocking scales, mortal to cosmic.
• The Forgotten Tide — the pirate fleet of the overlooked and the drowned.
• The Black Bitch of Void’s Wake — its captain, chronicled on a prison-cell wall.

Whispered things

• Myths of the Glassborn and The Song of the Glassborn — the tavern-tales and the song of those the Last War remade.
• The Forgers’ Prophecy — creation’s roles mirrored in those who shape the world from without.
