FAQ

• Can I export my content if I stop using Luminthara?

  Yes, absolutely. Luminthara allows you to export all your data, including lore entries, character sheets, maps, and timelines, at any time. You can choose from several formats like TXT for plain text, PDF for printable references, and JSON for structured backups. If you cancel your subscription, your content remains available in read-only mode, and you will always retain ownership of your creations. We believe in long-term creative independence — your world should never be locked away behind a paywall. Exporting is fast, secure, and available from within your dashboard. You can also back up your worlds periodically to your device.

• Is Luminthara suitable for genres outside of fantasy, like sci-fi or alternate history?

  Yes, Luminthara is genre-flexible and works well for science fiction, historical fiction, alternate timelines, dystopian worldbuilding, and more. While the aesthetic and structure are inspired by fantasy storytelling, the core tools — such as map creation, timeline building, character tracking, and relational lore — are applicable to nearly any genre. Many of our users blend sci-fi and fantasy elements or use the platform to manage space operas, speculative fiction, or even modern supernatural settings. The templates are customizable, and you can rename or restructure categories to suit your world’s unique needs. Whether you're writing about planetary federations or medieval kingdoms, Luminthara adapts.

• Do I need to download or install anything to use Luminthara?

  No, Luminthara is entirely web-based and works in all major modern browsers. There's nothing to download, and no installation is required. You can access your worlds from any desktop or tablet device with internet access. All data is saved securely in the cloud, and autosave ensures you won’t lose your progress. This makes it easy to switch devices or collaborate remotely. While we currently recommend using Luminthara on larger screens for the best experience, mobile app support is planned for future updates.

• Can I collaborate with other writers or GMs on the same world?

  Yes, collaborative features are currently in beta. With a Pro or Lifetime plan, you can invite other users to view, comment on, or co-edit specific entries or entire worlds. Permissions can be set to limit access, so you maintain control over who can change what. This is ideal for co-authors, RPG teams, editors, or lore consultants. Collaboration tools include shared timelines, version history, and contributor tagging. We’re continuing to expand this feature based on community feedback, with upcoming tools for in-world messaging and change tracking.

• What makes Luminthara better than using a regular writing app or note system?

  Luminthara is designed specifically for worldbuilding — not just writing. While traditional writing tools offer basic text editing, Luminthara adds structure, visual context, and interconnected data. Every location, character, item, or event can be linked, tagged, cross-referenced, and tracked over time. The map builder, timeline tool, and relationship web allow creators to manage complex worlds in a visual and narrative-friendly way. Instead of juggling folders, spreadsheets, or dozens of apps, Luminthara brings everything into one cohesive workspace. It’s not just a writing tool — it’s a creative world engine.

• Do you offer discounts for students, educators, or publishers?

  Yes, we offer discounted rates for students, teachers, writing groups, and educational institutions. If you’re part of a creative writing class, storytelling club, or game design course, you may qualify for reduced pricing. We also provide custom plans for publishers or teams managing multiple worlds or authors. To apply, simply contact us through the support form with your details and affiliation. Once verified, we’ll send you a personalized code or institutional access credentials. Luminthara supports the next generation of storytellers — and we want to help you build your universe affordably.
