#luminor lore

Surprise!

I have decided the change the map for Luminor, with one of my favorite custom maps from MTS. I think it gives off mystical fantasy land vibes.

I had picked the original map thinking that I would build the entire kingdom in the same hood. But then I got tired of staring at empty roads.

Thus, this part of the map will now be known as Founders Village. I want it to remain a place mostly for farmers, and it will keep a coherent aesthetic with timber houses and thatched roofs. Once we run out of space, I will add a sub-hood or downtown to build a proper city with a grand castle and all.

I also made a little map with all the lots we have so far.

I blatantly stole this idea from @tedsies, the maps he makes for his hoods are so cute

As you can see will still have a lot of space to grow!

It might look a little weird to have my swimable pond right next to the hood lake, but I didn't want to fiddle with the terrain to allow space for a beach. Maybe I'll do it eventually, but for now it's good enough.

The mines are also a new addition, you haven't seen them yet. But it's literally just an empty lot with a bunch of rocks.

The Gods of Luminor

I had originally planned on making a post introducing the main deities of Luminor but I got too lazy to take their portraits. Because I need to build a cool lot as a backdrop, it would be lame to show the gods just strolling through an empty forest 😂

And the Lord of Shadow is supposed to be scary, so his face reveal needs to be dramatic!

I still plan on doing it someday, since they will intervene in the story. But since I've been asked some questions I figure I can still answer some of them now.

So if you're curious about the lore surrounding the Goddess of Light and the Lord of Shadows, keep reading!
