Their natural environments are the maelossas, ruins, mushroom forests, and towns of the Netherworld. It can be hard to tell whether a luminescent is a beast or a fey, since many of these creatures have astoundingly similar appearances but very distinct features. Luminescent fey can live outside root maelossas, but stay away from the surface. \n'b' They can also be found in subterranean cities where they pose as beasts, and it is even said that certain luminescent beasts can grow into fey after a stay in a maelossa or an encounter with a celestial. \n'b' Luminescent fey have connections with the anakedis. There are secret paths, waymarked across the Ethereal Plane, that connect with certain sites of the Netherworld. \n'b' Luminescent beasts can be conjured as familiars via the find familiar spell, while luminescent fey can be summoned with the  conjure woodland beings  or minor ravagers or  conjure fey  or ravager spells. \n'b' Hope Bearers \n'b' If the leader uses this option, luminescent familiars and companions gain the Hope Bearer action: \n'b'\n'b'  Hope Bearer (Charisma modifier/Day) . The luminescent chooses a creature that it can see within 60 feet of it. That creature gains one Hope die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Hope die, but must decide before the leader says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Hope die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Hope or Bardic Inspiration die at a time.'
