Luminari
The Luminari were the final race to be created on Aellorah, emerging in Arak near Astix' Wellspring in the Anduskian Grasslands near Valensir. The Luminari were specifically created in response to a growing threat by the Voidspawn, who had been assaulting Aellorah for several centuries, even wiping out the Drakantal Empire entirely, and resulting in the creation of the Ashenfolk. The races of Aellorah could not hold them back, and the Seven Sisters decided that if their creation was to survive, they must turn their attention fully to the defense of the planet. As Astix was the only one who had yet to create a race of her own, she created the Luminari, and bestowed them with divine purpose, creating the divine order known as The Sentinels.
The Sentinels would go on to wipe out the remaining Voidspawn on Aellorah, at which point the Seven Sisters agreed on a non-interference pact, leaving the races of Aellorah to develop naturally now that all seven of them had created their own race. This ended the Age of Darkness, as that period had been called, and ushered in The Upheaval.
Many Luminari see it as their divine purpose to pursue one of the two orders Astix created to serve the people of Aellorah; joining either the Sentinels or the Truthseekers. However, as is the case with every other race, not every Luminari sees it as their calling, and you can find them scattered throughout Aellorah; though they are not large in number. They are stoic people who have an intuition that allows them to easily see through lies. Their appearance has been described as divine by many; having light golden skin, glowing golden eyes, and resplendent wings that shimmer in the sunlight.
The Luminari inherited the divine domains of Celestial and Connection, and one other domain depending on their subrace.
Wings
You have wings and that give you a fly speed equal to your movement speed. Your wings are not physical and can be manifested or hidden at-will, appearing as long radiant flames. They cannot be interacted with or restrained. They continue to function in anti-magical fields and without the presence of Flow. Your wings shed dim light in a 5 ft. radius.
Comprehension
You can understand the meaning of all spoken languages, regardless of whether or not you can speak, read, or write that language. However, you can still only speak, read, or write the language if you know it.
Sunlinked
You always know the exact time of day, date, and the duration of any activity you've participated in. You can perfectly recall how much time has passed since any moment you were conscious for. You are instinctively aware of the sun's position, as if sensing a limb, even if it is obscured.
Radiance
As a bonus action, you can emit bright light in a radius of 5 or 10 ft., and dim light for an additional 5 or 10 ft. You can change the brightness or extinguish the light as another bonus action. While emitting light, you have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
Subraces
The Luminari appear in the following racial variants:
The Traveler's Guide to Aellorah
Arbiter
The Arbiters are the most likely variant of Luminari to pursue the path of the Truthseeker. They have an innate ability to detect lies that goes beyond simply reading body language. Often, they have a rigid sense of justice and adhere to the word of the law rather than the intent.
The Arbiters inherit the domain of Truth.
Inherent Truth
You have proficiency in Insight and have advantage on Insight checks to determine if someone is lying. This ability cannot be fooled by magic.

Avenger
The Avengers are the most likely variant of Luminari to pursue the path of the Sentinel. They have a very harsh sense of justice, often doling out severe punishments for certain crimes. They can have fiery tempers.
The Avengers inherit the domain of Retribution.
Divine Wrath
When you take damage that reduces you to below half your hit point total, your wings manifest and begin to give off bright light for 20 ft., and dim light for an additional 20 ft. For the next minute, all of your non-spell attacks deal an additional 2d8 radiant damage against creatures that have previously damaged you. This ability resets at dawn.

Harbinger
The Harbingers act as divine messengers, warning of danger and disaster. They sometimes receive visions that lead them towards averting disasters or at least mitigating them.
Prophecize
You have the ability to cast the 'Augury' spell without expending a spell slot, and without material components. You can do this a number of times per day equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down).
