The premise, in the publisher's words

You are a Luminary, a warrior of light. As your world falls into chaos the more dark magic is harnessed and exploited (warping the world and its inhabitants) "You" and your fellow Luminaries evolved to make use of the world's less prevalent resource, light magic. With that power, as you grow stronger throughout your adventures, you will gain the strength needed to rid your world of darkness, and bring back the light.
