ABOUT

Dozens of miniature angels with crow wings pack together, emitting a warm glow.

Though many celestials relish grand battles against evil, few stay behind to help in the aftermath of battles or celestial judgment.

Despite celestial victories against the forces of darkness, there are always innocents whose homes and lives become collateral damage. These victims care most about surviving to the next day and not any grand design. Seeing these lives crushed in the clashes of good and evil, the tiny lumen take it upon themselves help. With disasters both large and small, natural and supernatural, the lumen stay busy helping societies rebuild.

Celestial Helpers. As immortals, lumen are attuned to catastrophes in the making, reaching the site of a disaster scant minutes after calamity strikes. The lumen search for victims trapped in collapsed, burning, or flooded buildings, and they assist mortals engaged in lifesaving tasks. Their power and size make them uniquely suited for finding lost creatures and accessing dangerous locations larger mortals can’t reach.

Confused Encounters. The creatures saved by lumen rarely remember their saviors’ identity. Because the lumen prefer their anonymity, they cloud the minds of those they rescue; most survivors believe they saw nothing more than glowing or flashing lights, which explains their name of “savior lights” or “savior lumen.” Even creatures who remember their rescues often misidentify the lumen as cherubic faeries.
