Description[]
Luminants are described to be certain regions of the world of Deepwoken. There are currently two Luminants in the game, which are the Etrean and Eastern Luminants respectively. There are many different sources that lead to the conclusion that all of Lumen was once united into one large continent, though the rising tides have split it into the 6 Luminants known today.
Etrean and Eastern Luminants[]
Though these two Luminants are often referred to as each other by characters (I.E. Ploom indirectly implying that the Etrean Luminant is part of the East), in-game they are both distinct Luminants with large, elaborate gates separating them. The key distinction between the two is the influence of local factions. As expected, the Etrean Luminant is mostly controlled by Etrea, while the Eastern Luminant is far more balanced with many different major and minor factions fighting over its islands. The islands of the Etrean Luminant seemingly drift in and out of the Voidsea, bringing new life and species, and even bringing up monsters from the Depths below. Both these Luminants, especially the east, are constantly in a state of war, as The Central Authority has been fighting against Etrea for quite a long while.
Central Luminant[]
A Luminant under the rule of the iron-fisted Central Authority. This Luminant is also inhabited by The Knives of Eylis, also known as the Whalers. Markor, a large savannah where Felinors originated from is located in the Central Luminant alongside the Markor Citadel, the headquarters of the Divers as well as the home of what is seemingly a university of sorts.
Off the coast of Markor is the Lullaby Isles, an area with a dense mountain range that's surrounded by smaller islands and inhabited by Chrysids.
Western Luminant[]
Home to The Hundred Legions, a large empire composed mostly of Khans. This is hinted at by Gaius (a Khan NPC in the Viper's Jaw) mentioning how he doesn't deserve to be in the Etrean Luminant, and that he comes from out West. The Covenant of Flame alongside Flamecharm originated in this Luminant due to it being the birthplace of Amorus Pleeksty.
This is where the Battle Royale gamemode takes place.
Southern Luminant[]
The Southern Luminant, what used to be a Luminant brimmed with temperate forest before it succumbed to gradual decay from the Voidsea. Navae's Guidance Compass points here. It will not be added to the game due to it mostly being Voidsea.
Northern Luminant[]
The Northern Luminant holds the frigid landscape of the Glacial Coast, commented on by Polis in Etris. It is home to the Elder Edenkite, and the Drakkard. The description of the Winter Corps armor mentions a species of thorny plant named "Drakethistle" existing in this Luminant, possibly making it out to be a frozen landscape with vegetation somehow spread throughout it.
