He carries a scabbard across his back; the one depicted in his character art is a [[Cobblestone sword]]. The Luminary's good looks and hair are commented on by various characters.


Like the heroes before him, the Luminary is a silent protagonist. However, several different characters say various things that seem to acknowledge or imply a few personality traits. Like a handful of other heroes in the series, he seems to have a tendency to sleep in, which various party members will comment on. A mischievous streak is also acknowledged, as two flashbacks mention pranks that he played during his childhood. He is also implied to have a more serious and grown-up demeanor during the events of the second act. Last but not least, in many lines of [[Party Chat]] dialogue and even one or two cutscenes, [[Erik]] makes comments about the Hero that seem to imply quite a few different personality traits the latter may have.

During the events of the second act, he is implied to have a more serious and grown-up demeanor, which carries over into the beginning of act three. Some yes/no options that the player is given do imply some sort of cheeky personality; however, it is mostly the dramatic reaction of the other characters that fuels this.


In many lines of [[Party Chat|party talk]] dialogue and even one or two cutscenes, the party members (namely, [[Erik]]) make comments about the Hero that seem to imply quite a few different personality traits the latter may have. Below are a few examples.
{{spoiler|start}}These are examples of Erik's party talk showcasing the Hero's personality:
* After horse racing in [[Gallopolis]] for the first time and returning to the racetrack, Erik asks teasingly if he wants to enter another horse race, saying it seemed like he'd become quite the fan.
* After [[Kainui]] tells the story of his late grandfather, [[Kainoa]], the Luminary is distressed about the prospect of telling [[Michelle]] that her spouse had died, especially with some of the party supporting telling her the truth and some of the party saying it was okay to lie.
**Of note, in Erik's party talk, the Luminary asks him what ''he'' would tell her.
**If the Luminary tells the truth, when the party helps the mermaid [[Michelle]] meet up with Kainui, Erik (in his party talk) notices that Luminary is worried about her being spotted by the angry fishermen. This worry is not shared by the others.
* In act two party talk, Erik says to the Hero, "You should stop worrying about other people just for once and think about what's best for you".

====Story====
The Luminary is long-lost son of [[King Irwin]] and [[Queen Eleanor]], the late rules of the fallen kingdom [[Dundrasil]] and the grandson of [[Rab]]. His birth his heralded as the reincarnation of [[Erdwin]], the hero of legend and enemy of the fabled [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. When he was a newborn, his parents were ambushed during a summit of the kings of [[Erdrea|the world]] to discuss the legend of the Luminary and what the prophecy will hold for the world, being held in the castle of [[Heliodor]]. The assault would lead to the death of Queen Elanor as she gave her son to [[Jade]], the princess of Heliodor to hide away and remained as a decoy to buy her time, and the assassination of King Irwin by the archfiend [[Mordegon]], who would possess the [[King Carnelian|the King of Heliodor]] to rule from the shadows.  
=====Act One=====
{{spoiler|start}}The Luminary is the long-lost son of [[King Irwin]] and [[Queen Eleanor]], the late rulers of the fallen kingdom [[Dundrasil]]. He also is the grandson of [[Rab|Lord Robert]], the ex-king of Dundrasil and father of Queen Eleanor. The Hero's birth is heralded as the reincarnation of [[Erdwin]], the hero of legend and enemy of the fabled [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. However, the night of his birth also marked the fall of Dundrasil castle, where it was ambushed during an important meeting called the Colloquy of Kings - a summit of the four kings of [[Erdrea]] (King Irwin, ex-king Lord Robert, the [[Sultan of Gallopolis]], and the [[King of Sniflheim]]) to discuss the legend of the Luminary and what the prophecies surrounding him mean for the world. King Carnelian and Lord Robert fended off the monsters closest to the Council Chambers while King Irwin escaped with the baby Luminary.
 
He found Queen Eleanor and [[Princess Jade]] of Heliodor, and made their way into a secret escape passage in the underground dungeons, but were spotted by a [[Barbatos]] and two [[Moosifer|moosifers]] just as they were about to leave. Irwin insisted Eleanor and Jade leave, and locked the door behind them when they left, leaving him to fend off the monsters. After the battle, Irwin heard echoes of King Carnelian from within the dungeons calling for Princess Jade, and ran towards the source of the calls. There, he saw King Carnelian being bound by dark tendrils belonging to none other than [[Mordegon]], before the sorcerer disppeared in a flash of purple smoke and the King dropped to the ground. Irwin ran up to King Carnelian, who asks him where the Queen and Princess are, and Irwin says that they made it safely out the castle. King Carnelian responds ominously that he would send forces out for them, and then swiftly stabs Irwin from the front. Irwin falls to the ground, defeated. Soon enough, [[Hendrik]] arrives at the scene, shocked at what he sees in front of him, and King Carnelian justifies his actions by saying that Irwin had "came at him in a frenzy" due to the great pressure of the Luminary's birth, which had also caused the end of countless lives and could only bring darkness into the world. King Carnelian, unbeknownst to Irwin and Hendrik, was actually possessed by Mordegon when he gave these orders, leaving Irwin there for the [[Gloomnivore]] to later feast on his despair.
 
Meanwhile, Queen Eleanor and Princess Jade had been running in the forests of [[Dundrasil Region]], away from the castle and the [[Headless horseman||headless horsemen]] chasing them, through the ongoing thunderstorm. Queen Eleanor, sensing that it was a losing battle to keep running, hid Jade in a bush and gave the Luminary and his basket to her. The queen continued running, remaining as a decoy to buy Jade time after the monsters followed suit, and resulting in the queen's death. Though Jade is able to escape the castle grounds, she loses her footing and the Luminary, still in his basket, falls into gushing river rapids and then over a waterfall leading to the bottom of the [[Cobblestone Falls]]. By an unknown miracle (likely the power of the Luminary) the boy is unharmed and the next day the basket is found by [[Chalky]], a resident of the small village of [[Cobblestone]]. A letter explaining the Hero's heritage is enclosed in the basket.{{spoiler|end}}
[[Chalky]], after finding the baby Luminary at the bottom of the [[Cobblestone Falls]], takes him in to raise him as his grandson. Chalky's daughter [[Amber]] assumes the role of his mother, and the Hero is raised as an ordinary boy in the village until his 16th birthday, where he undergoes the traditional coming-of-age rite of passage by climbing [[Cobblestone Tor]], with his childhood friend [[Gemma]] who was born on the day he was found. When reaching the top of the mountain to complete the ceremony, Gemma is attacked by a [[Hades condor]] and the Hero's Luminary powers awaken in order to save her, casting an ambiguous spell of the [[zap]] line that strikes down the monster, and the entire village sees the lightning from the bottom of the Tor. When the duo make it home safely, the truth is revealed by Amber that he is the reincarnation of the Luminary and he is instructed to depart for Heliodor and search for an audience with the [[King Carnelian|King]] to learn more of his destiny. She gives then gives him the [[precious pendant]] Important Item, which will apparently prove his status as the Luminary.
 
That night, the Hero can't sleep, and wakes up in the dead of night to go take a walk in the village. There, he sees Gemma underneath the tree they used to play under, and she reminisces on their past before saying a goodbye and running away crying. When he leaves for Heliodor the following morning, he is gifted Cobblestone's finest [[Horse and monster riding|horse]], and Gemma gives him a hand-made [[Gemma's charm]] gift accessory as good luck. She asks him to not forget any of them on his adventure, and with that he leaves.
{{spoiler|start}}When he arrives at Heliodor city and walks to the castle, he is stopped by two guards, which laugh at him incredulously when he tells them he is the Luminary. However, when he shows them the [[precious pendant]] Amber had entrusted him with, the guards falter and one of them runs off to presumably talk to the King. When he comes back, the Hero is allowed entry. Talking to various NPCs in the castle reveal that the arrival of the Luminary had postponed several other audiences with the King, to the NPCs' dismay. When the Hero finally meets the King - who is accompanied by various soldiers and his two right-hand-men, [[Hendrik]] and [[Jasper]] - the King asks for his name and where he came from. He then sends Jasper and half of the soldiers to Cobblestone; unbeknownst to the Hero, this was to destroy the city and slaughter its residents. Afterwards, the King - still possessed by [[Mordegon]] from sixteen years and approximately two days ago - proclaims that the Luminary is in fact the "Darkspawn", who will bring ruin to the world if left unopposed. The Luminary is then captured by Hendrik and the remaining soldiers, and thrown into the deepest corner of the [[Heliodor Dungeons|dungeons]] to await his execution in two days ("before the sun has set three times"), which should be by the time Jasper returns from the "investigation".
 
After Hendrik leaves, the Luminary makes a ruckus, provoking the [[Erik|mysterious hooded man]] in the cell opposite him. He lets down his guard when the Hero tells him he was imprisoned for being the Luminary, and mumbles something about the prophecy [[The Seer|a prophet]] gave them before agreeing to help him escape through the [[Heliodor Sewers|sewers]]. They escape together, being pursued by guards and also at some point a [[black dragon]], before being cornered on a cliff. There, the two exchange glances, and the man lifts his hood to reveal his face and his name, [[Erik]]. They jump off the cliff and survive unharmed at the bottom of the [[Heliodorian Foothills]], due to the power of the Luminary. Their daring escape puts the two of them at the top of the wanted list in Heliodor, although Erik's presence as a dangerous criminal diminishes througout the story as the Heliodorian guards prioritise the capture of the Hero instead.
 
After making their way to Cobblestone following a few more events, the Hero is flung into an involuntary "vision" from the [[Yggdrasil root]] wrapped around the big tree, and for a while he roams around in the past. His grandfather is alive again, and the Hero tells him all that has happened. Chalky is shocked, and says that he would bury a message in the three-sided rock at Cobblestone Falls. The "vision" ends shortly after the Hero walks back to the tree, and the Hero sees that the village is actually destroyed. The Hero and Erik then walk to the Cobblestone Falls, where the Hero unearths a small box buried in front of the aforementioned rock, and reads the two messages inside. One is a message a message from Queen Eleanor, saying for the Luminary to seek out King Carnelian when he is of age to find out more about his ancestry; the other is from Chalky himself, apologising for all that has happened and telling him to use the enclosed [[Keystone]] at the [[Emerald Coast|Door of Departure]], to explore the world and also to find out more about himself.
 
There, they are caught by Hendrik and Heliodorian soldiers on horseback. After a tight escape through a teleportal shrine in the Door of Departure that leads them to the small town [[Hotto]], the duo encounter the diminutive sorceress {{Veronica 11}} who identifies the Luminary immediately and coerces him into helping rescue her hapless sister {{Serena 11}} from a band of {{MFamilies}}s. Upon the successful rescue, the sisters reveal themselves to be the Keepers, magic users from the city of [[Arboria]] who have sworn an oath to keep the Luminary safe at all costs, and join the {{Party 11}}. The group sets out on a mission to reach [[Yggdrasil]], wandering around to find out how they can do so, first stopping at [[Gallopolis]] and aiding the [[Prince Faris|witless prince]] while the flamboyant [[Sylvando]] insists upon joining the mission. They travel to [[Gondolia]] to board the Salty Stallion (Sylvando's [[ship]]) in search of a wandering trader that bought the [[Rainbough]] from the [[Sultan of Gallopolis]] - as the Rainbough seemed to be an enchanted branch of Yggdrasil, the party had no choice to follow this lead. There, they encounter Jasper, but they narrowly escape his grasp by jumping off a ledge onto the ship.
 
From there, the party departs for [[Octagonia]], where they learn that the prize for winning the city's mixed martial arts tournament is the Rainbough itself. Entering the tournament, the Luminary is allied with the local orphanage caretaker, continuous winner of the MMA and fighting superstar [[Vince Vanquish]]. They fight their way to the semi-finals, where the Luminary properly meets Jade and Rab for the first time in sixteen years, although they do not recognise him until the Hero guards with his arms crossed and the two recognise the mark on his hand. After resolving [[Arachtagon|sudden various events]], which had caused a delay in the awards ceremony, the Hero and Vince have one last duel to see who keeps the prize instead of selling it and splitting the [[gold]]. The Hero wins easily (due to the aforementioned [[Arachtagon|various events]]) and is about to bag the Rainbough when one of the staff members says that the prize was stolen. The note left behind said for the Hero to meet the thieves at the [[Dundrasil|Dundrasil ruins]], signed by none other than Rab. It is there where the two explain their history with the Luminary, reveal the truth of Dundrasil's fall, perform a ceremony and then are ambushed by Hendrik and his soldiers. A chain of events leaves Jade and the Hero separated from the rest of the party, and the Hero ends up falling off a cliff. Jade dives off to stay with him, still tormented by her inability to hold on to the Luminary on the day Dundrasil fell, and they fall into the water together. They survive, presumably due to the power of the Luminary. After they meet up with the others again, Rab gives them the Rainbough as their rightful prize, which shows them a vision of an altar in the [[First Forest]]. Seemingly, the party needs to assemble [[Six Orbs|six rainbow orbs]] that will grant them access to Yggdrasil through a rainbow pathway. Luckily, Erik was already in possession of the [[Red Orb]] and Rab and Jade were in possession of the [[Yellow Orb]] from the second-place tournament prize. The party then travels to [[Lonalulu]] (and [[Nautica]]) for the [[Green Orb]], [[The Eerie Eyrie]] for the [[Silver Orb]], [[Zwaardsrust]] for the [[Purple Orb]] and [[Sniflheim]] for the [[Blue Orb]], before heading to the city of Arboria and ascending to Yggdrasil herself.


Though Jade is able to escape the castle grounds, she loses her footing and the basket the Luminary is held is falls into a river and over a waterfall. By an unknown miracle the boy is unharmed, and the next day the basket is found by [[Chalky]], a resident of the small village of [[Cobblestone]]. A letter explaining the Luminary's heritage is enclosed in the basket, and Chalky takes the infant in and raises him as his grandson. Chalky's daughter [[Amber]] assumes the role of his mother, and the Luminary is raised as an ordinary boy in the village until his 16th birthday. Upon performing the traditional rite of manhood by climbing [[Cobblestone Tor]], with his childhood friend [[Gemma]] tagging along. When reaching the top of the rocky spire to complete the ceremony, Gemma is attacked by a monster and the Luminary's powers awaken in order to save her, casting a lightning spell that the entire village sees from the top of the tor. When the duo make it home safely, the truth is revealed to the Luminary and he is instructed to depart for Heliodor to learn more of his destiny. Unbeknownst to him, King Carnelian is still possessed by Mordegon, who proclaims that the Luminary is in fact the Darkspawn, who will bring ruin to the world if left unopposed. The Luminary is captured and is awaiting his execution in the dungeon when he encounters [[Erik]], a former thief who was imprisoned for stealing a priceless artifact from the castle. Erik has been told by [[The Seer|a prophet]] that journeying with the Luminary will ease his troubled past, and the two make a prison break while being pursued by the captain of the Heliodor guard, [[Hendrik]].  
Reaching the heart of the tree, the Luminary is about to retrieve the [[Super Sword of Light]] inside the heart, but is ambushed by Jasper, holding one of the six orbs to channel dark magic into him. This barrier of darkness prevents any and all damage, so he swiftly defeats the party. Hendrik and King Carnelian catch up to Jasper after the battle, but before Hendrik can do anything about Jasper's seemingly sudden traitorism, Mordegon exists Carnelian's body and sucks the power of the Luminary out of the Hero's body, temporarily borrowing it to allow him access to the heart. He reaches inside and grabs the Sword of Light, corrupting it into the [[Sword of Shadows]] before plunging it into the ground and sucking the life force out of Yggrasil. Veronica, desperate and using the last of her strength, zooms the other unconscious party members (and Hendrik) to various corners of the world, before Yggdrasil falls from the sky, marking the beginning of Act Two.{{spoiler|end}}
=====Act Two=====
{{spoiler|start}}Several months pass, and the Luminary awakens in the form of a fish in Nautica. [[Queen Marina]] had used her magic to transform him into this state to hide him from Mordegon. She briefly channels her special seeing pearl to show him the state of the world. However, time is of the essence, as Nautica is being besieged by one of Mordegon's [[Spectral Sentinels]], [[Alizarin]], and the Hero is blown to the surface by the Queen. The Luminary is fished up by [[Blue John]], a local fisherman on the [[Emerald Coast]]. He makes his way to the ruins of Cobblestone, and finds the village has been turned into what the people call the [[Last Bastion]], a shelter for refugees fleeing Mordegon's forces, ran by Hendrik and King Carnelian. Eventually, the Luminary assaults the occupied Heliodor castle and kills the [[Spectral Sentinel]] [[Tyriant]] to restore light to the land and reclaims the [[Purple Orb]] from his hands. With the first blow against Mordegon's dominion over the world, the Luminary and Hendrik set out to reassemble the party and confront Mordegon. The death of Mordegon and the credits scene that follows marks the beginning of the postgame.


After escaping through a teleportal shrine that leads them to the city of [[Hotto]], the duo encounter a diminutive sorceress named [[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] who identifies the Luminary immediately and coerces him into helping rescue her hapless sister [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]] from a band of monsters. Upon the successful rescue, the sisters reveal themselves to be the Keepers--magic users from the city of [[Arboria]] who have sworn an oath to keep the Luminary safe at all costs and join the party. The group sets out to assemble the [[Six Orbs]] that will grant access to the floating tree [[Yggdrasil]] and allow the Luminary to save the world. The party travels to each major kingdom and city to uncover clues to each orb's location, first stopping at [[Gallopolis]] and aiding the witless prince while the flamboyant [[Sylvando]] insists upon joining the mission. The group's reward for the assistance is the [[Rainbough]], an enchanted branch of Yggdrasil that guides the party to the nearest orb.
At the Crucible in [[Mount Huji]], after the player has obtained the [[Forging Hammer]], [[Rareified Orichalcum]] and completed the events in [[Hotto]], the player can forge a new [[Sword of Light]] which allows the Luminary to penetrate the barrier surrounding the [[Fortress of Fear]] floating in the sky in place of Yggdrasil. Riding on the back of mythical whale [[Cetacea]], the Luminary is able to channel the power of the Sword of Light and allow access into the Fortress, where they eventually defeat Mordegon.{{spoiler|end}}
=====Postgame=====
{{spoiler|start}}The Hero [[time travel|travels back in time]] to before the party goes up to Yggdrasil, in an attempt to save the world. He shatters the [[Sword of Light]] on the Time Sphere in the [[Tower of Lost Time]] to go back in time, but is able to keep the Sword of Shadows. At the heart of Yggdrasil, he intercepts Jasper's ambush, and is able to break down his dark magic with the Sword of Shadows. The party is able to defeat him swiftly. When Hendrik and King Carnelian catch up, the King invites the party to his castle for a celebration after revealing the traitorous Jasper and uncovering "his" wicked scheme. The Hero then takes the [[Super Sword of Light]] from the heart and the party goes to Heliodor castle, where the Hero is reunited with the people of Cobblestone who had been thrown in the dungeons.


From there, the party departs from [[Gondolia]] in Sylvando's personal vessel and makes its way to [[Octagonia]] after learning that an orb is one of the prizes for winning the city's martial arts tournament. Allying with the local orphanage caretaker and fighting superstar [[Vince Vanquish]], the Luminary enters the tournament and fights his way to the semi-finals. It is here that the Luminary encounters Jade and Rab for the first time in sixteen years, though being fellow participants in the tournament they keep their relation to the young man a secret at first. After resolving Vince's dependence on performance enhancers created by a monstrous spider that lurks underneath Octagonia, he and the Luminary agree to a one-on-one match for the finale to allow him to retire with dignity now that his body is weakening. With the orb now in hand the group stops by the ruins of Dundrasil with Jade and Rab accompanying. It is here where the teo explain their history with the Luminary, reveal the truth of Dundrasil's fall, and are ambushed by Hendrik and his soldiers. Taking a dive off the same waterfall the fell down before with Jade, the Luminary escapes his would-be captors.
That night, the party is invited to stay over at the castle, and the Hero gets his own room - however, in the dead of night, King Carnelian attempts to take the Super Sword of Light from him. A [[Calasmos|strange force]] repels him, and he grunts in pain as the sword clatters to the ground. This wakes up the Hero, and the commotion also wakes up just about everyone else in the castle. The other party members (and Hendrik) burst into the room, and the King disappears in a puff of purple magic. They confront him in the Throne Room, where Mordegon finally reveals himself. When they defeat him, Mordegon notices the presence of a [[Calasmos|dark]] [[Tockle|presence]] at the Hero's feet, and comments smugly that the Hero is not the only one who has defied the flow of time, before vanishing into dust. The next day, King Carnelian - purged of the control of Mordegon, holds an award ceremony for the Luminary. However, midway through the ceremony, rumbling is heard from above, and the party rushes out to the balcony to see [[Erdwin's Lantern]] fall from the sky, marking the rebirth of [[Calasmos]]. The party then sets out on a mission to find out how to defeat him, witnessing memories of long past through [[Yggdrasil seedlings]] after some guidance from the Elder [[Eegoltap]] in [[Havens Above]], who also [[Earthsplitter|grants]] [[Blightsplitter|the]] [[Brightsplitter|Luminary]] [[Flamesplitter|various]] [[Seasplitter|new]] [[Skysplitter|-splitter]] skills. After watching three memories from the saplings, the party finds out the truth about [[Erdwin|the]] [[Serenica|Heroes]] [[Morcant|of]] [[Drustan|Legend]], namely the truth behind Erdwin's disappearance and the truth behind Mordegon's true identity. The party can then return to Havens Above to obtain the [[Wheel of Time]] and access the [[Tower of Lost Time]], where the [[Timekeeper]] will help Veronica and Serena cast a spell to re-armour Cetacea and allow her to break the dark barrier of the Dark Star where Calasmos is gathering.


Recovering after the incident, the newly expanded party continues their globe trotting adventure and retrieves the remaining orbs from [[Puerto Valor]], the undersea kingdom of [[Nautica]], the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]], and the frozen northern territory of [[Snifleheim]]. With all six orbs assembled, the Luminary and his companions enter the city of Arboria and ascend into Yggdrasil itself. Reaching the core of the tree, the Luminary retrieves the sword of light and is ambushed by Jasper and King Carnelian. Jasper is protected by a barrier of darkness and defeats the party while Mordegon exists Carnelian's body and destroys Yggdrasil. The party is scattered to the corners of the world by a desperate Veronica, and the end of the world begins.
If the player so chooses, the party can undergo the trials in [[Drustan's Labyrinth]], and one of the wishes the Luminary can be granted for successful completion is to "live with somebody forever and ever!". in which he can select out of the party members and also Gemma. THe Hero will then live with the selected companion in his house in Cobblestone, if it is rebuilt. If the player chooses Gemma, the Hero and Gemma are canonically married.


Several months pass, and the Luminary awakens in the form of a fish in Nautica. [[Queen Marina]] used her magic to transform him into this state to hide him from Mordegon. Nautica is being besieged by one of the archfiend's Spectral Sentinels, [[Alizarin]], and is blown to the surface by the Queen after restoring his form. The Luminary is rescued by a fisherman and sees that the Heliodor region is draped in perpetual darkness. Making his way to the ruins of Cobblestone, he finds the village has been turned into a shelter for refugees fleeing Mordegon's forces by Hendrik and Carnelian. Allying with a repentant Hendrik, the Luminary assaults the occupied Heliodor castle and kills [[Tyriant]] to restore light to the land. With the first blow against Mordegon's dominion over the world being struck and the Heliodor soldiers protecting Cobblestone, the Luminary and Hendrik set out to reassemble the party and confront the archfiend in his [[Fortress of Fear]].
After defeating Calasmos, the party returns to the Tower of Lost Time, and the Hero temporarily transfers his Luminary powers to The Timekeeper, who transforms back into [[Serenica]]. He gives her the Super Sword of Light, which she uses to shatter the Time Sphere, though this time it does not break and the Hero collects it from the floor after she returns to the past. Afterwards, the Hero returns to Cobblestone for an unspecified period of time. Veronica and Serena wil then visit, and the three of them will travel back to Yggdrasil to return the Super Sword of Light back to the heart of Yggdrasil, and there they encounter the [[Yggdragon]]. She bestows upon him the title of [[Erdrick]] before the story ends.
