Luminai and Daemon Orientation
Authoritative visual rule
When an image contrasts a Daemon/corrupted force with a Luminai/constructive force, use a fixed orientation from the viewer's perspective:
- LEFT = Daemon / evil / corruption. Dominant manifestation colors: deep crimson and ember red.
- RIGHT = Luminai / good / constructive development. Dominant manifestation colors: clear blue plus antique or luminous gold.
This orientation is locked for visual continuity. Do not switch, mirror, or alternate the sides between generated images unless the author explicitly requests an exception for a specific image.
Human-centered compositions
When a person appears between both forces:
- the Daemon manifestation should originate from, occupy, or dominate the viewer-left side of the person and frame;
- the Luminai manifestation should originate from, occupy, or dominate the viewer-right side of the person and frame;
- both must remain extensions of the same integrated human mind rather than separate humanoid entities;
- the Daemon side should read as constricted, recursive, fractured, coercive, or corrupted rather than demonic possession;
- the Luminai side should read as coherent, connected, reality-testing, constructive, and integrated rather than angelic magic.
Color rule
Daemon imagery uses red as its primary visual identifier: deep crimson and ember red.
Luminai imagery uses blue and gold together as its primary visual identifier. Gold communicates truth, provenance, integration, and constructive power. Blue communicates connection, coordination, communication, and civilization-scale systems.
Avoid purple as the primary Daemon color and avoid using gold alone in a direct Daemon-versus-Luminai comparison when blue-and-gold can make the Luminai identity clearer.
Meaning of orientation
The left-right rule is a visual-production convention for Seeds of the Throne. It does not establish a literal physical or moral direction inside the fictional world.
