Yeah, we know it’s not always obvious, but… no AI here. We don’t support the use of AI in the creative space and strive to keep the arts a part of human connection. 100% Human-made with way too much Greek coffee involved. ☕

Welcome to Ekratoria, a world born of Dreams and Imagination, where powerful mages ally with and vie for control of the Dream Gods that embody the realm.

Join Farm boy Thrakos' journey as he makes new friends and faces the secrets hidden in his family's past. For fans of Tolkien, Star Wars and classic fantasy.

Get ready for action and adventure, mystery and magic as we watch Thrakos come of age in an era when Evil is threatening to defeat Good. And all our dreams might just rest in the hands of a young teen … who fears he's becoming a monster...

Luminous Ages takes place in the world of Ekratoria, a mystical planet where dreams come to life through art and imagination.

There are three schools of magic: the Luminaries, the Captuveries, and the Chosen.
Captuveries can draw and capture enemies, creatures, and objects onto surfaces.
Luminaries can draw and bring creatures to life.
The Chosen wield powerful Dream Artefacts and, through disciplined martial movement, can manifest creatures and dreamlike scenarios into reality.

Luminous Ages Volume 3: Dragon Ascension takes Thrakos' journey onto the high seas. Thrakos, Captuveri, has entered the final stage of his Ascension. He must either be baptised in the Dream Wells to stabilise his powers or risk transforming into a horrific being.

Luminous Ages is a rich, interconnected fantasy universe where multiple stories weave together into a grand tapestry of creativity, destiny, and imagination.

Volume 3 brings the story back to focus on Thrakos and Arcturios journey. They are finally nearing their goal, but oceans are dangerous and treacherous. And what seems a straight forward journey might be their most dangerous one yet.

As Thrakos and his mentor, Arcturios, near the end of their journey to the Dream Wells of Nerostrios, they enjoy a moment of respite and reassurance as they look back on all that has happened so far and all they have already achieved.

And enjoy the wonders the Sea of the Dragon Gods offer, under the experienced eyes of their ship's captain.

But dark forces still haunt them. Can Thrakos reach the Dream Wells in time, or will his foe, the Masked One, finally claim him and all he represents?
