'''Lumar''' is a [[Cosmere#Planets\|planet]] in the [[cosmere]]{{wob ref\|15428}}{{book ref\|tress\|60}}, and is the planet on which [[Tress of the Emerald Sea]] takes place. ={{shardworld ~~== Geography ==~~ \|shards=None \|magic=[[Aether]]s \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[Tress of the Emerald Sea]] }} {{spoilers\|tress}} {{update\|tress}} '''Lumar''' is a [[Cosmere#Planets\|planet]] in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref\|15428}}{{book ref\|tress\|60}} == ~~Culture~~Moons ==▼ It is surrounded by twelve coloured moons in a low, geostationary orbit, which deposit the [[Aether\|aether]] spores which make up the spore seas.{{book ref\|tress\|1}} Each moon is inhabited by a core Aether.{{book ref\|tress\|28}} Known moons include the Verdant Moon, Crimson Moon, Rose Moon, Zephyr Moon, and Midnight Moon, corresponding to the known Aethers. ~~The known geography of Lumar consist of generally small islands surrounded by seas of spores.~~ === Seas === The seas are made up not of water, but of the immense deposits of aether spores from the moons, these can be traversed due to hydrothermal vents periodically liquidizing the spores during '''The Seethe'''. It also goes through periods of dormancy, where the seas solidify and hold ships in place. During these periods of dormancy, one can walk across it, though the length of dormancy is unpredictable, ranging from minutes to days.{{book ref\|tress\|8}} Each sea is made up of spores of a different colour, due to being associated with a different core Aether. Known seas include the Rose Sea,{{book ref\|tress\|10}} Emerald Sea,{{book ref\|tress\|10}} Sapphire Sea,{{book ref\|tress\|23}} Crimson Sea,{{book ref\|tress\|5}} and Midnight Sea.{{book ref\|tress\|5}} Several of these are inhabited, with people and civilizations forming of the various islands splitting the spores. But not all seas are inhabited, with the Crimson and Midnight Seas, due to their dangerous nature, are uninhabited outside of a few notable exceptions. The planet of Lumar has twelve seas, each being made from a separate type of spore. These spores each fall from their respective moons, and are each colored differently. The seas are therefore known by their colors. The seas mentioned in the book are the Emerald/Verdant sea, the Sapphire Sea, the Rose sea, the Crimson sea, and the Midnight sea, though all the seas are known by the inhabitants. Ships are able to sail on the seas because of the "Seething," which is the releasing of air from the bottom of the seas, causing fluidization. This makes the spores behave essentially as a liquid, allowing ships to sail on them. However, the Seething stops fairly frequently, causing ships to be temporarily stranded on what are now essentially sand dunes. The points at the border of seas intermingle and mix together.{{book ref\|tress\|38}}{{book ref\|tress\|57}} ▲== Culture == === ~~Religion~~Crimson Sea === The Crimson Sea is made up of the spores of the Crimson Aether, and is known to be particularly dangerous not only due to the sharp stakes that form upon interaction with water, but also due to the unpredictability of the weather on the sea.{{book ref\|tress\|35}} It is due to this that the sea is almost completely uninhabited, and people fear crossing it. ~~Lumaran's~~It ~~primarily worship~~borders the ~~twelve~~Midnight ~~moons~~Sea ~~which~~and ~~orbits~~the ~~their~~Emerald ~~planet.{{book~~Sea, ~~ref\|tress\|1}}~~and Asthe ~~part~~only ofway ~~this~~to ~~special~~get ~~days~~to ~~known~~the asMidnight ~~Moondays, one for~~Sea ~~each~~is ofthrough the ~~twelve~~Crimson ~~moons~~Sea.{{book ref\|tress\|415}} == Notable Lumarans == * [[Ann]] * [[Laggart]] * [[Sorceress]] }} {{Tress}} {{cosmere}} [[category: Lumar\| ]]
