An inscription found on the Worship Wall at the Great Temple of Luminos:
When foolish mortals worship evil,
Demons gain their greatest hope.
But Luminos is light incarnate.
Let him help your people cope!
For benefits that last forever,
Add Luminos. He won't say nope.
And lo! from within the Silver City, the great god Luminos did cast his gaze out upon the Primeval Wilds and see that it could be good, that it could be a place of safety and harborage for the young gods of nature. Therefore did Luminos reach out with his hand of light to appoint as guardian the Great Beast Cuddles, and bade him stand fast against intruders and bar their entry with his massive bulk and paws.
Oh, unknowing Serapis! For while Luminos was tending to the Guardian Beast, in the Silver City did the Hope of Man set up his own desmesne in the very place Luminos had marked for himself. Not through spite, but out of ignorance was Serapis drawn to the small, shining orb Luminos had fashioned. And so, it having been done and completed in his absense, Luminos saw that Serapis had made a mighty labor of construction that should not go to waste, and chose for the sake of harmony not to challenge the unwitting offender, indeed to say nothing of it to him at all, and instead to choose another place in the Silver City to construct his own demesne.
For was the moon not made by the gods of Chaos, and named after Havoc, and filled by him with the potential for great magic? Indeed, the very constellations anticipate what the gods will do, for Luminos himself is already there, embodied in the stars, as is Artifice in the constellation of Knowledge. And as for Yultan, is he not the maker of worlds, without whom no act of creation could even begin?
What good is a Council that cannot pass laws? The question posed by others, and posed in tones of contempt, rang in the ears of Luminos. What good the Council? What good the gods? A Council meeting that was to discuss the question of the making of the Sun turned instead to pettiness and argument over the misguided efforts of the god of war. And during the course of that meeting, a moon made foolishly and without consultation, mocking the efforts of the god of light to seek wisdom in the deliberations of the gods. "So wroth with anger was Luminos at the selfishness and short sight of the lesser gods of Chaos that he did briefly contemplate the making of no sun at all. But no spiteful god is Luminos. One sun was made where instead there might have been two, that the world might serve its intended purpose to be a testing ground for the strengths of the gods. And the god of light resolved that the lesser gods of Chaos would never know what greater source of mana their haste had cost them.
A bargain was made, a promise extracted from the lesser gods of Chaos. Luminos would make the sun. The Chaos gods would swear not to make a second moon. And Luminos would vow that by his hand the moon they had made would not be destroyed.
But already a plan was taking shape. Had not the gods of Chaos made the moon for the express purpose of providing them with mana? How, then, could they refuse the gift of even more?
