Lucine Lunaa was a member of the Chimera party. Growing up in the cult known as the Solism, she escaped it alongside Caeles Strari.
She is known to be the reborn avatar of the primordial Eqosi goddess known as Lunaa, and her original body was used to resurrect Sol Sultana. She was then given a new body by the god Quanus.
After the inconclusive ending of the Tale of the Sunless Dunes campaign, she is implied to have settled down with Viera.
Biography
Early Life
A sort of graduation ritual of the Church of the Black Sun is a ceremony known as the 'The Blinding'. New members and children who reach a certain age are brought deep under the church, to a cave with a natural window looking out towards the open horizon. Through magic incantations near sunset, the sun itself is blackened- everyone staring into it.
Those rejected by Sol are blinded, while some accept Sol as their master and are given powers. Almost no one comes out of the ritual unscathed, even the best case scenario involves minor burns. Those blinded during the ritual are promptly sacrificed to the sun.
Lucine and Caeles were orphans found and raised by the church. Surya Glawar was like a terrible father to them. Growing up together, they were treated fairly differently by the higher ups. Lucine had almost no powers to speak of, but was a Fire Genasi- their inherent flames seen as a good omen due to the likeness to Queen Sol. Caeles was relatively normal, but showed martial prowess and was trained likewise.
On the day of the Blinding, both of them had a fairly different reaction to the ritual. Caeles felt the presence of Sol, and had a choice between blinding and death, or his ambition. Choosing to accept her offer, he made a pact with Sol, gaining her favor. Lucine made contact with Sol, but as the Queen tried to awaken any sort of innate powers Lucine might have, what actually awakened was the direct opposite- powers that stem from the moons above. Utterly rejected, Lucine came out the ritual neither blinded nor accepted.
As part of the pact and the ritual, Caeles proceeded to kill all the other orphans and would-be members that were blinded and rejected by Sol, manifesting a weapon in his hand blessed by the Queen's might. He was to also kill Lucine, but couldn't bring himself to do so. Instead, he helped her escape the Church, and the two ran off together.
