based off the tuning stone story, i wanted to create the first tuning stone but needed the help of the community to choose which one resonates with them more.
so here’s a draft for the first tuning stone ever found (not created).

please let me know which one of the 2 you would love to be a part of the story.

Also i will leave a link to the story in the comments and also write it out in a thread for those who want to read again 
Also i’d leave the idea i will try to work on in the near future 

any boost is appreciated🫡❤️

As the Regence’s drones begin to sweep the perimeter, Sen uses the stone to craft resonance markers, hidden devices that pulse low-frequency signals to cloak their energy footprints and confuse surveillance. It works—but only for short bursts before the stone dims.

Climax:
One night, Terin’s scouts breach the edge of the forest. Sen entrusts the Tuning Stone to Maru, who climbs into the canopy and activates it. The forest responds. Vines cover the path, machines misfire, and wind disrupts drone flight. It’s not an attack—it’s an intentional misalignment created by the harmony between Lum, the stone, and the natural systems.

The scouts retreat, confused by what they saw. No enemy. No tech. Just trees and silence.

Aftermath:
The stone cracks slightly—its energy not limitless. But it becomes a symbol within The Light Underground: not all power needs to destroy. Some can guide, divert, and protect.

They name that night The First Quiet Shield—a legend in the making.

“The Tuning Stone”

Premise:
While scouting an abandoned relay tower for scrap parts, Rada’s crewmate Maru discovers a buried stone that hums faintly when held. At first, it seems like leftover tech, but Sen senses something deeper: it resonates with Lum. Curious and cautious, they bring it back to the garden.

Sen and Maru experiment with the stone. When placed near certain plants or broken devices, it causes unexpected reactions—leaves that grow in spirals, flickering lights pulsing in rhythm with nearby vines. The crew learns the stone is not just a relic, but a Tuning Node, a forgotten interface designed to align natural frequencies with machine protocols. Lum, through the node, communicates more clearly—sending abstract impressions, symbols, even dreams.

A Modular Story & Interaction Framework: The Resonant Archive
Mythos Built Around Symbiotic Tech + Collective Worldbuilding
Core Concept:

Each Tuning Stone is a digital artifact (NFT) that unlocks stories, interactive experiences, or cooperative missions within the world of Lum. They’re not collectibles—they’re seeds of narrative and agency.

1. Tuning Stones as Living NFTs
	•	Each NFT contains a short story fragment (like “The Tuning Stone”), plus an interactive element—audio resonance, visual shifts, or lore changes based on collective choices.
	•	Holders can vote or collaborate on how their stone evolves—does it awaken a hidden machine? Create a new plant-tech hybrid? Distract Regence drones?
	•	Their choices update the stone’s metadata + narrative state.

2. The Resonant Map (Onchain World Layer)
	•	A visual map of the hill villages and surrounding biomes that updates as holders interact with Lum and nature-tech interfaces.
	•	As stones are used or synced together, new zones, myths, or abilities unlock—world expansion becomes collaborative storytelling.

3. Sen’s Journal: A Living Lore Layer
	•	A decentralized lorebook that records the effects of each tuning event or resonance. It’s updated by the community via proposals or quests.
	•	Token-gated writing sessions could let trusted holders add folklore, name places, or design future tools within the Light Underground.

A crew member finds a mysterious stone that harmonizes plants and broken tech. With Sen’s help, they learn it’s a Lum-linked relic that subtly protects their village. It becomes their first quiet act of resistance—proof that nature and machines can defend together.

Scout: The Wickrunner
“Moves fast, dies faster. Built to detect false breakouts and bait impulsive charges.”

to use a scout, you have to spend sp points but that grants you an extra (x) amount of time to strategise before deployment.

i also like the engravings on the second one, it’s a lot more complex, i really appreciate your feedback.

if you have the time, give the quoted cast in their link a read and tell me what you think, i need your expert opinion on it, thanks in advance (also leave a like and recast if it won’t be much of a bother 💜)

I pick the second orientation. I love Borgès and mycénien mazes. This generation is quite an aberrant cause it's impossible to enter into the closest circles. But I like the aesthetic. Good Luck with your project

thank you!
i’m also leaning towards that choice

Second one looks much more clearly like tech imo!
