Been thinking about the word "Lusternia." What is it? LUSTER is a noun, denoting the quality of glowing. The suffix -IA doesn't have a direct translation, but is often seen in diseases, places, and conditions. Word study doesn't produce much in the way of an explanation. Outside of the title to this mud, is it mentioned anywhere else? What, exactly, is a Lusternia?

It's the name of the First World, one third of which (the Basin of Life) is the setting for the game.

Well, that just shows a difference in world views.

I definitely don't see 'Luster' in the title..... B)

I didn't before. Now I will every time. Gah. :(

Jack:

It's the name of the First World, one third of which (the Basin of Life) is the setting for the game.

Is that the "geographic" location of the world (like "earth"), or more or a political bounday (like "America")?

I assume geographic, since the name first comes up in Cosmogenesis. There were more planets, but it's possible the Soulless ate them (or they weren't capable of supporting life in the first place).

Lusternia is the First World, created by Dynara. There are other planets (Papaxi, Tarox, Sidiak, Aapek to name a few you already know of) out there, to be certain.

Nothing says they can or cannot support life - Lusternia however was the largest of the worlds, IIRC, and where all of the Elder Gods shattered. Who knows what is on the other worlds B)

We should launch an extra-planetary aetherspace search team immediately to discover and chart the "lost" planets!

Betcha the Ice Devils are coming from one of them.
