The Lucentum are the ruling power behind the Nydissian Empire; a philosophical sect dedicated to logic and reason, eschewing “fragile” emotions such as compassion and empathy. They rule with an iron will, focusing above all on the “greater good” of the imperium, which often means trampling the rights of the individual.

Disciples of the Lucentum are agnostic or atheist, and worship no gods. Magic is considered a clear and present danger that cannot be ignored. In Melek , Lucent Caudex acts as the sect’s ambassador and First Counsel to the Imperator.
