|Geography=Aurelion is defined by its unending brilliance. Every surface emanates light, and shadows cannot form, for light bends and flows like a tangible force. The landscapes are ethereal, sculpted from luminous crystal, golden mists, and rivers of pure radiance.

Notable locations ~~within Aurelion include:~~

===Notable locations===

* '''The ~~Everbright Spire~~''': ~~A colossal~~ beacon of ~~infinite light~~, ~~believed~~ to be the source ~~from which Dharas’s radiance~~ flows.

* '''The Beacon of Dharas''': The heart of Aurelion and the purest manifestation of light in the cosmos. It is said that all illumination in Adaris originates from this celestial beacon. Towering beyond mortal comprehension, the Beacon of Dharas pulses with divine radiance, guiding seekers toward enlightenment. Some believe it to be the very core of Dharas’s consciousness, an eternal source of wisdom and purity.

* '''The ~~Skyborne Gates~~''': Celestial ~~pathways connecting~~ Aurelion to ~~other realms~~, ~~accessible~~ only to ~~those attuned to its energies~~.

* '''The Brilliance''': A boundless sea of luminous energy, where light flows like liquid across an endless horizon. It is said that one’s thoughts and emotions influence the colors and intensity of The Brilliance, making it a sacred space for meditation and divine communion.

* '''The ~~Luminous Fields~~''': ~~Rolling plains~~ of ~~living light~~, ~~shifting in color and intensity based on~~ the ~~thoughts of those who walk them~~.

* '''The Prismic Mountains''': A breathtaking crystalline mountain range that refracts Dharas’s light into endless beams, scattering illumination across all of Aurelion. The mountains shimmer with an ever-changing spectrum, and those who traverse their peaks experience visions of forgotten knowledge as light bends and shifts around them.

* '''The Celestial Veil''': A shimmering, mist-like boundary where Aurelion meets the cosmic expanse. Said to obscure the full truth of existence, the Celestial Veil filters reality itself, allowing only glimpses of what lies beyond the light. Many believe that passing through the Veil leads to enlightenment—or complete dissolution into radiance.

* '''The Auric Reaches''': A high-altitude expanse where golden storms of pure energy swirl in perpetual motion. The Aelthari patrol this region, ensuring that Aurelion’s radiance does not spill into the mortal realms unchecked. Some believe the Reaches are the closest one can come to merging with Dharas’s essence while still maintaining form.

|Inhabitants=* Lioris - Ethereal beings composed of pure light, the Lioris are the sages of Aurelion. They serve as interpreters of divine radiance, helping mortals and spirits alike understand the deeper truths revealed by Dharas’s illumination. Appearing as shimmering, translucent figures, they communicate through pulses of radiant energy, conveying thoughts and wisdom without words. Many who seek Aurelion’s wisdom hope to receive guidance from the Lioris, though only those of pure intent can comprehend their messages.

* Aelthari: Ancient and unwavering, the Aelthari are the guardians of Aurelion’s borders. They ensure that the realm’s radiance remains in balance, neither spilling over into other realms nor allowing corruption to taint the purity of light. Tall, luminous figures clad in armor woven from golden energy, they are known for their unmatched vigilance and mastery over the **Veil of Illumination**, a barrier that separates Aurelion from the mortal world.

* Lightborn - Once-mortal beings who have ascended fully into Aurelion’s radiance, the Lightborn are souls who have shed all shadow, becoming embodiments of enlightenment. Retaining echoes of their past selves, they exist in a state of perpetual luminescence, guiding others on the path toward transcendence. Legends tell of great sages and warriors who, upon death, were accepted into Aurelion, their spirits transformed into beings of pure light.

|Cultural Significance=Aurelion holds a vital place in the cosmology of [[Adaris]], representing the ideals of purity, truth, and enlightenment. It is revered as a realm of revelation, where all things are seen in their truest form. Many cultures regard it as a domain of wisdom and healing, where light purifies both body and spirit.
