## Information

The  ****Lightborne**** is the Ender Kingdom which rules over the Lightborne Isles. It is the home of luxomancy, or light magic.

### Culture

Luxomancy is heavily ingrained into Lightborne culture. The majority of the Lightborne are luxomancers.

Every End nation believes that "the Void is the beginning and end of all things." Bodies are thrown into the Void under the belief that a spiritual realm lies beneath.

The Lightfin, animals native to the Lightbourne Isles, are either kept as pets or hunted for meat.

### Races

The races of Lightborne civilization include enderkin and endermen. However, their environment and exposure to light magic gives them many unique characteristics.

Mages in the Lightborne Isles are constantly exposed to extremely bright lights, so Lightborne enderkin typically have sharper, cat-like pupils. Renowned Lightborne leaders, such as Lauretta, Ramiel, and Luminor, have become blinded or otherwise disabled because of the dangers of light magic. Only the Lightborne have white endermen that are not End Dancers.

### Military

In "The Brave", the Lightborne military was shown to consist entirely of luxomancers. Because luxomancers can magically conjure light weapons and control them in mid-air, they are useful for both long- and short-range attacks.

The faction's flying corvettes are small but quick and elusive; they can gradually take down larger and sturdier targets such as Void Ships. The corvettes attack by onboard luxomancers, who channel destructive magic through beacons.

## History

During the War of the Ender Kingdoms, the Lightborne were ruled by Lauretta, the Arch Luxomancer, Matriarch of the Lightbourne Isles. The faction offered reinforcements against the  Void Kingdom during the Battle for the Gateways. After the Gateways fell, the Void Kingdom conquered both the Lightborne and the Aeromancers and turned them into its vassals.

The state of the Lightborne as of *Fractures* is unknown.

## Notes

1. ↑ In the real world, a corvette is a small naval warship.
