The Lamplighters Race began when light first entered the universe of Gildin.

Gildin was once a shadow realm universe, engulfed in darkness, and only inhabited by shades. Only these beings could inhabit such a place. However, even in this seemingly pitch-black universe, a small glimmer of light could always be seen. It was as if it belonged to a star, burning so bright in some adjacent universe that it cut through the endless darkness. This distant point of light grew ever closer, yet it did not alarm the shadows as they aimlessly existed in their dark paradise. They had no predators to fear, nor any knowledge of the universes surrounding them, and they were without a leader to guide them towards a more meaningful existence. They simply observed the growing light, unfazed.

After hundreds of thousands of years, the light abruptly appeared in Gildin. It's sudden arrival brought instantaneous sunlight to half of this universe. This caused many of the living shadows and dark figures to vanish, seemingly seared straight out of existence by the light. Those that were left clung to the darkness, mired in their shadow realm. The upper, light filled realm became known as Lucerna, and the bottom realm of shadows called, Caligo. This event is known far and wide throughout the universe as Lumina Venire, the moment when Gilden appeared to undergo a cosmic split between light and dark.

Lumina Venire initiated what can best be described as an ensuing family drama.
