## Description

### Appearance

Luminia possess a fluid and ever-changing form, allowing them to morph into various shapes and sizes, but mainly possess a jellyfish-like body. Their bodies are responsive to their emotions and intentions, creating a mesmerizing display of colors that reflect their mood. They do not always have eyes, but ones without them can radiate an intense light that can convey complex emotions in replace of eyes.

### Habitat

Luminia live in Dorsio, in a realm that can only be described as the deep sea. This realm is vibrant and surreal, filled with floating crystals and gems, luminescent flora, and ever-shifting landscapes.

This mystical realm exists beyond the boundaries of Wiserly. In Dorsia, time flows differently, and the boundaries between dream and reality are blurred, creating an ethereal haven for the ancient Luminia to explore, evolve, and safeguard the ancient wisdom they hold. Now, for present Luminia, it is a place of sleep, dreams, and wonder,

Every blue moon, during the Blue Moon ceremony, mystical gateways open, allowing the species to visit vast worlds and the rest of Wisterly

### Culture

The culture of Luminia revolves around the pursuit of harmony and enlightenment. They are known for their love of art, music, and storytelling, mainly through plays displayed through light and colors.

While Luminia do not speak out loud, research has shown that the species might possess a form of telepathy that allows them to communicate with each other.

### Interaction with Other Species

Though their world is mainly inhabited by only those of this kind, it has been known that some other kinds have gotten lost and trapped here. When this happens, they become one with the Luminia and often turn into Luminia through the use of the small mythical powers Luminia still have.

### Abilities

* Light Manipulation: Luminia can control and manipulate light. They can shape light into solid constructs, create illusions, or even become invisible by bending light around themselves.

* Emotional Resonance: Luminia can project their emotions through their bioluminescence, creating an empathetic connection with those around them. This ability fosters understanding and unity among different species.

* Magic: While this is little, as the powers have diminished over centuries of not using them, Luminia can do little tricks and if many are present, turn an outsider into a Lumina or create a Luminia to join the ranks.

### History

The Luminia trace their origins to a time beyond recorded history. Legend has it that they emerged from the convergence of ancient energies. Initially formless, these beings gradually developed consciousness and self-awareness as they explored the mystical landscapes of their ethereal home.

*Ancient Times:*

As the Luminia evolved, they discovered the immense power of knowledge and wisdom. They became the custodians of ancient truths, storing the collective wisdom of the ethereal realms. Over the eons, they developed a commitment to guiding and nurturing other species, venturing into different realms to share their insights.

Throughout history, Luminia have occasionally crossed the threshold between realms, appearing in many worlds. They have been known to intervene during times of great imbalance, aiding civilizations in moments of crisis or inspiring individuals to achieve great feats.

During periods of social and cultural development, Luminia discreetly influenced various societies, leaving subtle traces of their presence in folklore, art, and mythology, for the worlds of Marthos and Fyndel, and ruled over Dorsio before the Ruins

The jellyfish species is thought to have come from Luminia who stayed on earth, due to the similarities and artifacts found in Wisterly and Dorsio.

*The Time of Ruins*

At one point in their ancient history, the Luminia faced a cataclysmic event that threatened the very fabric of their existence. The details of this event remain shrouded in mystery, but it is said that it compelled them to retreat further into their realm, limiting their direct interactions with the rest of the world, and eventually closing all connections and gateways to other universes as well.

*Modern Times*

In the present era, Luminia have lost the strength and power they once were, as they have forgotten the ways of old.

Some speculate that Dorsio could be entering a new phase of alignment, prompting the Luminia to once again step into the tapestry of mortal affairs, as the gateways now open, even for a limited time during the Blue Moon ceremony, Perhaps, they will remember what great beings they were.

Regardless of their level of involvement, the Luminia remain timeless beings, weaving their radiant threads through the intricate fabric of many, if not all, realms and universes.
