Lemuria

The map of Lemuria

The Kingdom of Lemuria is the primary location in Child of Light.

There are four main areas throughout Lemuria that Aurora and her friends can travel to, and visit dungeons and NPCs to complete quests and find collectibles. Each of the four main regions is named after one of the four Explorers, that discovered and established the kingdom of Lemuria.

Crest

The Lemurian Crest, or Coat of Arms, is featured in the game's logo.

The Crest is comprised of four different symbols:

• The Cherry Flower symbolizes the transient and ephemeral nature of life; the death and rebirth. Reflecting purity and simplicity.
• The Cypress, historically associated with the underworld, symbolizes the eternal life and the understanding of sacrifice.
• The Sun is the king in the planetary cabinet. It is source of light and life and signifies father and vitality. It is the great and universal, the central source of everything that was, is and to be.
• The Moon is the queen in the planetary cabinet. Next to the sun, it is generally associated with femininity. Her light is not her own, but a projection of the light generated by the Sun, making her a mirror, a symbol of subtleness and passive clarity. She changes forms with the passing of time, going from a full bright circle to a hidden darkened shadow, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life-death-life, the transition all of us go through in our lifetimes.

We see these symbolic themes present in the game as well, with Aurora's death and rebirth in Lemuria. In the game she is on a quest to obtain the Sun and the Moon in order to defeat the Dark Queen. We also see the cherry flowers multiple times in the games story, in the form of the Cherry tree. First at the start of the game, Aurora meets Igniculus under the cherry tree near Avo's house. Halfway through the game we see another cherry tree in a flashback where Aurora witnesses her mother's death. Then at the end of the game we return to that same scene with the cherry tree in the games credits and post-credits cutscene.

Mahthildis Forest

Greater Lemuria / Old Monastary

Greater Lemuria lies to the east of Mahthidis Forest. Greater Lemuria consists of thick forests with trees that could rival mountains in height and ancient ruins possibly dating back to a time preceding the Queen of Light's reign. Residing here is the Old Monastery, an ancient structure of unknown origin, where the Queen of the Night imprisoned the Queen of Light, the original ruler of Lemuria. Greater Lemuria also happens to be home to the Aerostati, a race of elf-like people who live among the floating landscapes near the ruins of the Old Monastery. This is where Aurora first meets Rubella.

Altar

The Altar where Aurora first awakens in Lemuria stands among an ocean of woods known as Mahthildis Forest, located west of Greater Lemuria and east of the Plains of Rambert.

This dense dark forest and resident monsters that infest every inch of this area makes navigation and hunting collectibles like Stardust and coffers rather difficult if not nearly impossible. But the breathtaking view of the beautiful landscape almost makes one appreciate the immensity of this ancient forest.

Tree of Thorns

The Tree of Thorns is a giant tree located west of Mahthildis Forest and east of the village of the Capilli.

Inside this tree is a system of splintered pathways leading in all directions with hidden treasure as well as vicious enemies and every inch of these pathways are of course, as the name implies, covered with thorns as far as the eye could see, making navigation through this ancient tree both difficult and dangerous.

Capilli Village

Further west of this immense forest lies Capilli Village, a small town named for the Capilli, a dwarf-like people who reside there. In the heart of this quaint village is an immensely deep well said to house the Waters of Lethe, an ancient spring with water that has magical properties. This is where Aurora first meets Finn.

Plains of Rambert

Further west beyond Capilli Village is an expansive mountainous terrain known as the Plains of Rambert, named after Rambert, one of the four explorers that discovered and colonized Lemuria long ago.

Many windmills and forests of spruce and pine trees occupy this rocky landscape.

Wind Wheels

Within the Plains of Rambert is a series of many windmills embedded within the mountains and pointed stones.

This windy plain is also a favorite spot for flying pigs, which can be seen flying in a few places throughout this region. Here you can locate Achilles during the Achilles's Odyssey side quest. This is where Aurora meets Norah.

Town of Bolmus Populi

In the midst of the sea of rocky cliffs and windmills, a friendly giant, Magna, slumbers. On its back sits a bustling town populated by a race of anthropomorphic mice known as the Bolmus Populi.

The citizens of this town all equally specialize in the art of finances or money management and place great importance in financial security above all else. With their access to a large gold reserve located inside of Magna along with their vast knowledge of economics and financing, the Town of Bolmus Populi could very well be the most economically prosperous town in Lemuria. This is where Aurora meets Robert.

Although shown on the map, the Isle of Nereida is not available to play in the final version of the game. It was presumably cut during the game's development.

Trivia

• Many theorize that the Kingdom of Lemuria symbolizes the afterlife, as Aurora awakes in Lemuria after dying in her original world.
