New Lore Entry

Lumos's journey was troubled. As a lad, he watched his parents be carried away in the claws of a dragon, leaving him to raise his family of thirteen sisters on his own. With no profession, and no ability to earn, one by one he was forced to give away his sisters in marriage, stretching each dowry long enough for another sister to come of age to be wed.

Soon enough, he was a young man, with no remnants of family, and no wife of his own. To cope, he took to drinking mead, but again quickly found himself without wealth. Alone, with nothing to his name besides his clothes, he took to the fields to scrape by on his own.

After years of wandering, he stumbled upon fields overflowing with mysterious round melon. Filled with water and a hint of sweetness, he rejoiced! No longer would he have to survive off mushrooms and droppings. He ravenously tore through the field, smashing melons and leaving their pieces strewn throughout.

One morning he awoke with a dire thirst, and grabbed a nearby melon without noticing its ripeness, or that it had the slightest of crack. He punched a hole and began to feast, but quickly noticed the flavor was amiss. Undeterred, he consumed it in its entirety, and was quickly overwhelmed with a stupor he hadn't enjoyed since his days of mead.

The next day, he yearned for more. Fascinated by the potential to remove his mind from his troubled life, he began to find different ways to let his melons ferment, until he mastered it. An alternative to mead, and in his own fields!

He took to the streets, selling his melons as both fruit, and as a recreational beverage. This brought him great wealth, which he enjoyed as much as he enjoyed his new concoction.
