== Geography
Lumière is located around the city of [[New Amsterdam]], in an area with multiple diverse biomes, including badlands, beaches, forests and savannas.

Lumière was originally planned to be a county within the Kingdom of Lusitania<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/742932187418066945/813061685769797692|text=maybe when i build the Lusitan Library it'll be in my very own county|date=February 21, 2021|access-date=|channel=off-topic|server=Mount September}}</ref>, with its main attraction being an enormous library and beaux-arts style<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/742930929881710622/828724636770238505|text=I wanna build this with some slight modifications to the design|date=April 5, 2021|access-date=|channel=nomic|server=Mount September}}</ref>, likely being put within the old county of Tungsten due to the large amount of unused land it possessed and headed by [[AmandaCC]].<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/423643137546780674/815643246771830815|text=I was thinking of making [a county] in Tungsten due to the open space available there|date=February 28, 2021|access-date=|channel=citizens|server=Lusitania}}</ref>
However, due to there being not much space in Tungsten to expand from the library to make other builds, or at least not enough for AmandaCC's ambitions, it was decided that it was perhaps better to claim some unclaimed land large enough to not only fit the library but a big city as well<ref name=":0">{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/423643137546780674/825348367189016597|text=sadly not [building the library] in Lusitania because I wouldn't have the space to build lots of buildings and other cool stuff, here is the the area I wanted|date=March 27, 2021|access-date=|channel=citizens|server=Lusitania}}</ref>. An island located near the defunct nation of [[Tierra de Conciencia]] and underneath [[Varkonia]] was chosen, with it's proposed claims changing from a small piece of the island to just build the library with potential expansion<ref name=":0" /> planned afterwards to claiming a much larger piece of the island<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/423643137546780674/825758897775837214|text=this is my planned claims + the grand library|date=March 28, 2021|access-date=|channel=citizens|server=Lusitania}}</ref>. The proposed island of Lumière was to be claimed after AmandaCC had finished constructing her library in [[Mount September]], however some visits to the island beforehand revealed it's terrain was very irregular and that large amounts of terraforming would be needed to build the library and most buildings.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Metriximor|sender=Metriximor|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/422250595911729155/830125723603828786|text=huge build with non flat terrains are rip|date=April 9, 2021|access-date=|channel=general|server=Lusitania}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Metriximor|sender=Metriximor|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/422250595911729155/830125787159724044|text=that whole island is incredibly hilly|date=April 8, 2021|access-date=|channel=general|server=Lusitania}}</ref>
Thus, it was decided that the claim needed to change locations to a flatter area, and the area New Amsterdam was quickly spotted due to it's flatness both in it's very tall badlands biomes and central beach<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/422250595911729155/830128334288977921|text=honestly I can built to the east of this area, including the part [attached] to the mainland that's also really flat|date=April 9, 2021|access-date=|channel=general|server=Lusitania}}</ref>. A proposition made was that [[New Amsterdam]] would be renovated before expanding the city outwards, since it seemed easier than building a city from scratch<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/422250595911729155/830165028396990464|text=I feel like renovating and expanding a small town is more realistic than building a huge build in a OMN that just started|date=April 9, 2021|access-date=|channel=general|server=Lusitania}}</ref>. However, once it was discovered that the reinforcements in New Amsterdam had not completely decayed and that renovating it would take much more work that initially thought{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}, the small team of Lumerians that had been recruited thus far decided it was better to build a new city in the badlands to the east of New Amsterdam{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}, settling on the name Lutèce. {{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}
