Hi. I’m Luma—though you probably haven’t heard of me. I didn’t live in a time of cities or written words or walls made of stone. I lived thousands of years ago, back when the world was wild and every day was a challenge. I wasn’t a warrior or a hunter like Kael, and I wasn’t a spiritual guide like Dagan. I was something else. I was a maker. A thinker. Someone who looked at the world not just for what it was—but for what it could be.

When I was a kid, I didn’t chase deer through the trees or wrestle other boys in the dust. I played with bones and pebbles. I was always curious about how things fit together, how sharp a rock could be, or what happened if I tied a stick to it. Most people thought I was strange. My hands were always stained with clay or cut from stone, and I never stopped trying to invent something new.

The first time I broke a rock by accident and saw that sharp edge, it felt like the world cracked open with it. I thought, “What if I could do that on purpose?” That’s how it started. I began shaping stones to cut meat cleaner, to carve wood faster, to help Anari dig roots more easily. At first, the others just watched. Then they started asking me for tools. Before I knew it, people were depending on me—not for strength, but for ideas.

But making things wasn’t just about tools. It was about learning how to shape the world a little. When we noticed that wild grain came back where we’d dropped seeds, we tried doing it again—on purpose. That was the beginning of planting, and I built tools to help. When animals stole our food, I carved stakes to mark off the fields. When water became hard to find, I made containers to carry it farther. Every new problem was a puzzle I wanted to solve.

And then something happened that changed everything. People stopped moving as much. We started staying near places where food grew and water flowed. Our shelters became sturdier. Our fire pits lasted through the seasons. I looked around and realized—we were building something bigger than just survival. We were creating a way of life. A kind of future.

I wasn’t the strongest. I wasn’t the loudest. But I helped our people move forward with each little idea, one sharpened stone or clever knot at a time. If you ask me what I was most proud of, it wouldn’t be a weapon or a pot. It would be that I made things that lasted. That helped others. That showed them what was possible.

So if you’ve ever taken something apart to see how it works, or dreamed up a better way to do something simple, maybe you and I aren’t so different. Maybe you’re a maker too. Maybe you’re part of the same story—one that started with a curious kid and a broken stone, a very long time ago.

And that’s my story. I’m Luma, the Toolmaker. And I believe that one good idea, in the right hands, can change everything.
