Luminaire is my home planet.
I just recently became a pilot and was quite ready to see the stars, but already I feel homesick.
My family owned a vineyard in the countryside but I grew up in a suburb just outside of Caille. It made for a rather interesting childhood: the countryside juxtaposed against the city.
I cannot do Caille justice in but a few paragraphs, but it is a city among cities. It is so uniquely Gallentean, yet you can find anything you want there from any part of New Eden. The level of detail and care that has gone into the creation of Caille truly moves the heart. I have spent much of my time in the Sanctuary of the Seventh Goddess and none of it have I regretted.
The Crystal Boulevard is another obvious site that would be criminal to neglect. Both during the day and nighttime, it is as if one is stepping into another realm that glitters and shimmers. Try not to lose your footing out of dizziness.
I could go on and on about the numerous galleries, gardens, architecture, boutiques, libraries, spectacles of future art, even the peopl themselves, but some things simply must been seen. And it is getting late.
As one might infer from my time spent in the sanctuary, I and my family are rather spiritual (if not religious). We follow the many gods of the Caille region like most others we know. I was drawn in particular to what the gods meant, how they existed and what they represented, so I spent a lot of time visiting the many shrines an temples of Luminaire. Once, I went with a group of pilgrims to a far flung shrine in a mountain range halfway across the world to pay homage to a god of the stars (the irony is not lost on me).
The countryside is quite verdant with deep forests, rolling hills and pleasant lakes. My family's vineyard is about two acres with a small wooded area near the back that my siblings and I would dare each other to go deep into. My father would warn us not to do so, for fear of ghost-lights that would lure those foolish enough to follow them deeper into the woods and never to be seen again.
We also maintaine a small shrine to a god of wine and merriment at the vineyard as well. It is quite lovely, if somewhat small.
One other feature that shouldn't be missed are the seemingly endless fields of flowers that exist here. Some exist for harvesting to make perfumes and others grow naturally. Truthfully, the ones that grow naturally are the ones that I think are most beautiful.
Considering what I've said, it may seem as if I'm boasting. I don't mean to come off that way, but Luminaire is truly beautiful to me and I look forward to one day settling there again. Doing what, I've no clue. |
