For an uncounted eon, darkness lay over all of creation. And in that time before time, both gods and spirits wandered throughout Heaven, each only dimly aware of the nature of the world.
Then, out of darkness, there arose a luminous being--Luminos was he--whose very existence revealed to the gods that there might be more to life than any of them had ever dreamed. Luminos was friend to all, and beloved of the gods, and gave of his light freely to all who wished to see. But even Luminos could become weary, nor could he be in all places at all times. Thus, as the demands of the gods to see a greater light grew, he began to wonder if he might, with the help of other gods, be able to fashion a better source than he, to create a way to bring the light more strongly.
But Luminos knew that in so doing there would be a risk. So long as the light remined within Luminos, there remained harmony among the gods. All knew that Luminos was the source, and Luminos was beloved. Were Luminos to create a thing, then no matter how much stronger the light might be, it would still be a thing, and a thing could not be beloved.
Moreover, Luminos had heard the other gods murmuring amongst themselves, saying what they would create were there a stronger and greater light, bragging what they would do to increase their glory.
Because Luminos loved the gods, he could not deny them the light. He could not deny them their wish.
But what was their wish?
In Council, what would the Greater Gods say?
