SUMMARY
"The Tribe of Northernlights".
Currently accepting new members!
A tribe of friendly, helpful Lumens just trying survive in the furthest reaches of Luzoria.
LORE
. The Goddess of Light
The Luzorian deity some claim was responsible for giving the world its impressive array of luminescense.
. The Lumens
A sentient subspecies of canine adorning a natural glow in varying colours and patterns.
. The Verox
Another sentient Luzorian native. They are known for being great gatherers, herbalists, and traders, and they often collaborate or even live togethers with other Luzorians in exchange for food, protection and other benefits.
. The Felowl
The third sentient species of Luzoria. Small gryphon-like creatures, resemblant of a cat mixed with a barn owl. They inhabit almost the entire continent - with the exception of plains and plateaus - they live in trees or in rock crevices. Like cats, they are curious, but careful and cautious. They descend to the ground only in exceptional cases, they spend most of their time in trees or on high rocks, where predators will not be able to get them. Mostly nocturnal by nature. Because of the anatomical features of their front paws, they learned to create high-quality crafts, which allowed them to trade with other sentient species. Some lone felowls can join a Lanther or Lumen clan or become a companion of another Luzorian for protection, food or cooperation in crafting.
. The Edelvine
The final known sentient species of Luzoria. Wise elders, stargazers, and priestesses. Their life expectancy is three times longer than other Luzorian's, but fertility is very poor. Sires drop their antlers once a year and new ones start to grow immediately getting larger every time. Antlers are used as a main ingredient for creating longevity potion, but it also significantly reduce fertility.
