Lumen lunae

Aetheria was established in the aftermatch of the Great Reset, founded around the belief that the Moon was a divine gift left behind by the forgotten gods. According to Aetherian tradition, the Great Reset caused a corruption that claimed Lumen lunae's left eye. in compensation for what was taken from him, a god placed the moon in the heavens as an eternal replacement. an eye capable of watching over Lumen and the people he would eventually rule. that was what he believed the gods message was. Aetheria was therfore built beneath the moon, beneath its greatest divine blessing.

Before Aetheria had a name, Lumen lunae was simply another survivor wandering through the remains of a world that no longer made sense. The Great Reset had stripped the land of its history, leaving behind nothing but land and memories upon others. Lumen was among those who refused to leave the place where they had fallen. during the catastrophe, a corruption unlike anything the survivors had known took his left eye, and no explaination could be given for why he alone seemed to bear such a mark. he long stopped looking for an answer, and began searching the sky.

Lumen lunae takes their place in the story. After the Reset, Lumen lunae came to hold that the moon was no mere celestial body, but a divine gift from a forgotten god whose name no record carries. In the chaos of those early days, a corruption claimed his left eye, leaving him permanently marked by what he believes to be the god's price. In return, the moon: an eternal eye suspended above the world, watching where his own can no longer see. Whenever the moon turns crimson, Aetheria enters its day of celebration, for the eye that watches over them.
