House Lumas is a Mahaan family of the Oderan Wilds living in the Lucent Spire of Jrusar.[1] Their crest, as it appears in Ela Lumas' pin, is of an arced bow strung with four-pointed stars, with a smaller crescent moon matching the arc of the bow into the back of it.[2]
In 843 PD, Ela Lumas was the family's Ginang, its matriarch.[3] Her sons, twins Balan and Zeyar Lumas, who employed Oshad Breshio as a bodyguard for many years, were known for their curious nature and their scientific and geological interests.[4] The family was attacked weeks before the events of "The Draw of Destiny" (3x01), killing the twins and severely injuring Breshio.[5][6]

the Lumas twins in the red storm, by Kamille Areopagita and Kevin Areopagita from "A Gathering of Heroes" (3x76).[art 2]
- Ginang Ela Lumas, matriarch[3]
- Balan and Zeyar, her twin children, deceased.[4] They were researchers at the Starlight Conservatory and kept out of politics.[7] Their fields of study were planar contact, celestial bodies and stars, and the crystal fauna growing deep in the Heartmoor.[8] They had developed a friendly relationship with Roe Estani of Heartmoor Hamlet over their shared academic interests.[9] They had also, as of the time of their deaths, recently joined the Grim Verity and Estani surmised that this may have been the reason why they were targeted.[10]
- Possibly other children or younger relatives.[11]
Trivia[]
- The family name seems to derive from luma, which means "old", "ancient" or "antiquated" in Tagalog.[12]
- Matthew Mercer confirmed that "Ginang" (Ela's title) is from the Tagalog word.[13] Ginang is a polite form of address for a married woman, like "Mrs.", and can refer to a woman of an age and dignity that affords respect.[14]
- Matt confirmed that the dreams in which Imogen saw Bertrand and the Lumas twins being swallowed by the red storm were due to the fact that these figures were very connected to the sorcerer's daily life, her adventures, and her psychic powers, and that in In Bertrand's case, the fact that he died precisely while she was having a vision/nightmare also contributed.[15]

The fact that he refers to the deaths of Balan and Zeyar as losing some children and not her children suggests that either Ela has more children of her own or that she has other younger relatives under her care as Ginang of House Lumas.
