Lumar is a planet in the cosmere.[1][2]

Moons

It is surrounded by twelve coloured moons in a low, geostationary orbit, which deposit the aether spores which make up the spore seas.[3] Each moon is inhabited by a core Aether.[4]

Known moons include the Verdant Moon, Crimson Moon, Rose Moon, Zephyr Moon, Midnight Moon, and Sunlight Moon, [5] corresponding to the known Aethers.

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.[6]

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,[7] Emerald Sea,[7] Sapphire Sea,[8] Crimson Sea,[9] Midnight Sea,[9] and Sunlight Sea. [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 points at the border of seas intermingle and mix together.[10][11]

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.[12] It is due to this that the sea is almost completely uninhabited, and people fear crossing it.

It borders the Midnight Sea and the Emerald Sea, and the only way to get to the Midnight Sea is through the Crimson Sea.[9]
