Homebrew Lumen Species Details

Lumen are moth-like humanoids that first appeared shortly after the Stilling. The first Lumen claimed to be emissaries of Nael, sent to guide the people in this new world of endless night. However, there are those that believe the Lumen have something to do with the Stilling, sometimes resulting in extreme prejudice against them.

Lumen come in many shapes, sizes, and varieties. They can be gray, vibrantly colored, or anywhere in between. They have an insectoid appearance, with large, black, and bulbous eyes, antennae, patches of fuzzy hair, and wings.
