At one point, there was an island on Lumar inhabited by the [[Iriali]]. However, roughly three hundred years before [[Tress]] and [[Charlie]] were born, the entire population vanished seemingly overnight. While it's possible that they simply departed the planet, their fate is unknown to the locals, with some claiming that they were "taken" by the gods. Today, only some of the Iriali's possessions, as well as cultural memory of their golden hair, remain on the planet.{{book ref|tress|2}} Notably, the Iriali's departure occurred at roughly the same time that [[Xisis]] become a known presence on Lumar. There is, however, no evidence that those two events are at all related.{{book ref|tress|31}}
 
It's unknown what, if any relation there is between the Iriali of Lumar and the Iriali of the [[Roshar]]an kingdom of [[Iri]]. The timing of the Lumarans' departure from their planet makes it impossible for them to be the Rosharans' ancestors,{{ref|group=fn|text=Iriali departed Lumar three hundred years prior to the start of ''[[Tress of the Emerald Sea]]''; ''Tress'' takes place after the events of [[The Stormlight Archive]] (as evidenced by [[Sazed]] having released the [[kandra]] and the technology on display), and on [[Roshar]], the kingdom of [[Iri]] existed for thousands of years prior to the start of ''The Stormlight'' Archive; as such, it is mathematically impossible for the Lumaran Iriali to depart Lumar, travel to Roshar and start the Kingdom of Iri.}} but it is impossible to determine if the Lumarans were descended from the inhabitants of Roshar, or if they were a different, separate group within the same cosmere-wide culture.
