Description 

The Moon & Stars
The Lumari are a nomadic, mystical people with roots in desert lands. They are united not by rulers or chiefs, but by devotion to their god Selura, the Silver Flame, guardian of moonlight and travelers. Their lives are deeply intertwined with the cycles of the moon, guiding their movement, rituals, and daily practices.

The Lumari value knowledge, reflection, and harmony with the natural world. Each member of the community learns from the land, the stars, and the wisdom passed down through generations. Their caravans move with purpose, carrying traditions, sacred objects, and stories from one place to the next.

The Lumari see themselves as keepers of the light in both the literal and spiritual sense. They travel to heal, guide, and illuminate the paths of those who seek understanding. Though their presence is subtle and often fleeting, their influence is felt in the quiet moments of night under the moon’s glow.

History 

The Origin
The origins of the Lumari trace back centuries to desert lands where the sun scorches the earth by day and the moon bathes it in silver at night. Descended from lineages that blend ancient Egyptian traditions with nomadic desert ways, the Lumari carried knowledge of the stars, healing herbs, and sacred rituals.

For generations, they traveled in self-sufficient caravans, guided by the moon and Selura, the Silver Flame. They became skilled at reading the night sky, interpreting the stars as signs, and passing down stories and teachings that shaped their understanding of the world.

Over time, as the Lumari moved into new landscapes, their practices evolved, but their devotion to Selura remained central. They are defined not by conquest or hierarchy, but by resilience, wisdom, and spiritual guidance. Through centuries of movement, they preserved their culture and the light of their goddess in every land they traversed.
