Lumeth

Lumeth (pronounced Loo-meth) is the Cardinal God of Light and one of the original Ten Gods known to Djorig. He is the creator of the stars that light up the universes and the overseer of the Soul Forge. Lumeth is one of the most worshiped Cardinal Gods, easily noticed and recognized for his contributions to mortal life and light he brought into for the world.

Lumeth is even further removed from mortals than his other siblings. Lumeth's realm of The Irradent Throne lays within Iliosk, The Positive Energy Plane, a completely inhospitable plane that would destroy those without proper protection. From there, he oversees the Soul Forge, the source of all souls both mortal and outsider. There are natural entryways into Iliosk within every star, a leftover fragment from when Lumeth sparked their creation. Lumeth is often depicted as a humanoid figure made completely of light, the only outstanding features being spiral galaxy eyes and the crown of stars upon his head.

War of Divinity
At the Dawn of the Age of Divinity, before the creation of the Prime-Material Plane and when Primordials roamed free, from the aether of the Astral Sea came ten entities. These self-fashioned Gods came into conflict with the Elder Primordials, and sought to bring order to the universe around them. Leading them was Akaene, the Firstborn. The battles of the newborn Gods and the Primordials were devastating, ripping portions of the Astral Sea open. However, the disorder of the Primordials proved to be their downfall. The siblings were able to isolate and defeat each of the elder beings, as while together the Primordials were indominable, alone they were only a difficult foe. In the final battles, the Cardinal Gods failed to destroy Primordas, the mightiest of the Primordials, and were only able to separate portions of Its essence. They used what remained of Its power to create a new realm, aiming to forever seal away their greatest foe.

The Cardinal Gods started to debate how they would divide their newly conquered realm, but their squabbles started cracking the very foundations they just formed. From the darkness came a figure unlike any they had seen, a being cloaked in flame and shadow that was neither Divine nor Primordial, holding in its hands a scroll of gold and vellum. The being spoke with civility and decorum, informing them that the adversary they fought so valiantly to seal would eventually be reborn if they did not take careful steps to ensure the stability of their newly created realm. Ashmedae referred to himself as a curator of order and divided the fundamental forces between the younger gods as a neutral party. No recollection states exactly what was said, but a contract was formed, a Divine Mandate, one that would ensure the everlasting sealing of the First Adversary and balance of the Inner Planes.
