== Trivia ==
* The word "Lumar" was coined by [[Isaac Stewart]], who came up with multiple names for the planet and presented them to Brandon. It was meant to evoke both fairy tales and the inspiration for ''[[Tress of the Emerald Sea]]'', ''[[wikipedia:The Princess Bride|The Princess Bride]]''.{{wob ref|15439}} It is most likely a portmanteau of the Latin words "luna" (moon) and "mare" (sea; also used for [[wikipedia:Lunar mare|plains on the Moon]] that early astronomers mistook for actual seas).
* Lumar is not the origin world of the [[aether]]s, nor is it the planet that ''[[Aether of Night]]'' takes place on.{{wob ref|15428}}
* The spore oceans came about due to Brandon's fascination with the process of fluidization, as well as his desire to properly introduce aethers into the published Cosmere.{{wob ref|15423}}
* By the time ''Tress of the Emerald Sea'' was written, Lumar's location in the cosmere, and the layout of its star system, had not been established.{{wob ref|15451}}
* The [[Cognitive Realm]] of Lumar is "a little weirder than normal
* After he began envisioning Lumar's fluidized oceans, Brandon watched YouTuber Mark Rober's video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My4RA5I0FKs Liquid Sand Hot Tub- Fluidized air bed] to confirm that the scientific concept was feasible.{{ref|name=The Science of Magic}}
