Luminara Voth Summary

[ByTheBurnside]

Luminara Voth
Luminara Voth is one of the four elder gods originally sent to rule and arbit the universe. Although the concept of age is difficult to apply to the gods, Luminara is often called the eldest amongst them, though some give that title to his brother Ora, who rules the Void. Luminara was sent in his young age to rule the realm of Mortals, which he would name Luna, after himself. In his earlier years he was known by the name of Lunira Voth, and ruled his new realm with his younger brother Palid Tamira as his hand. In his first millennium or so of ruling Luna, Luminara settled upon the world of pelindra, where he would create the first race of mortals to draw breath, the Elves, known then as the Izeri. Centuries later, Palid Tamira would band together with a large collective of minor gods, to create the Humans, modeled in their image. For the next several millennia, the world of pelindra would prosper, in a primal sense, as the races would evolve into what they are known as today. However, this peace was eventually brought to an end, when Palid Tamira was fooled into waging war against his older brother, an act which would lead him to take on the shameful mantle of Palidah Farr (meaning fool warrior, in Izerian). Palid was utterly dominated in this war, but not until several millennia had passed, and countless millions, if not billions of mortal lives had been wasted. So great were these wars that Mialdra had to intervene, dividing the Void into two (The Void and the Abyss) and setting mortal life into a cycle of rebirth, to keep the void from overflowing. As said, Lunira would eventually win, but not without beginning to understand the nature of mortality. Lunira in these wars learned the value of discretion and humility, the first of a series of events that would set him apart from his younger brother. It was at the end of this war that he would become known as Luminara Voth, and would become the first King of a Pelindral nation. Over the next several centuries, perhaps even millennia, Luminara would lead his kingdom of Si’Sen, until the events of the Age Of Chaos and the Sundering.

Domains
Luminara Voth is primarily the god of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Some of his followers may also find a connection to him via the ideas of Leadership, Pride, and Righteousness.

Appearance
Like most of the more powerful gods, Luminara Voth ruled actively as a king for perhaps as long as a millenia, and his appearance has been well recorded in both art and scripture by countless artists. Despite being one of the oldest and most powerful gods, Luminara typically manifested himself as a fairly normal Izeri, save for a large pair of white feathery wings which sprouted from his back. In his earlier years he typically chose the form of an incredibly attractive Izeri male, with white hair, and startling green eyes. He was known to wear no mask and little aside from his trousers when not actively riding into battle, and spent nearly all of his days on Pelindra, enjoying fairly simple aspects of life such as food. He was also referred to as very social amongst his chosen few, and in many ways very human, bound to fits of rage or intense joy. In his later years, after the War Of The Heavens, he became more distant and regal, manifesting himself as a very tall man, usually in full plate armour and often carrying a mace like sceptre. Despite being able to simply manifest his own armour thoughtlessly, Luminara had his armour crafted by his finest artisans. It was made of pure Elder Mithril, and trimmed with an ancient form of Lumite which has not been referenced outside this very set of armor. His helm covered his whole face, and was set with a crown of lumite shaped like the heart of a fire.
