Ruler's Title: The Guiding Light
Ruler's Appearance: The Luminance is an incorporeal being composed of noon sunlight. Its origins are steeped in mystery - all that is known is that it selected Touchstone to be its home. Over the centuries, its disciples have carved a sanctuary around it. The Luminance, for its power and majesty, is a humble being. In the presence of mortal men, it often chooses the form of a wizened white-haired sage.

Archipelago faction: Light
Unique metal of the island: Auralite - iridescent, glassy material harvested from deep within Touchstone.
Starting settlers: Disciples of the Luminance - a host of stern and strong-willed monks.
