Aurelion: Difference between revisions

Line 59:

* 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.

|Notable Settlements=Aurelion’s settlements do not follow the fixed, material logic of mortal realms. These radiant sanctuaries exist as **harmonic constructs of light**, shifting in response to the will and perception of their denizens. Many of these luminous domains do not have fixed locations and can only be reached by those attuned to the light of Dharas.

* Elytharion, The City of Echoed Radiance: A great expanse of shifting spires woven from cascading light. Elytharion is not bound to one location; it flickers across Aurelion, appearing where the presence of wisdom is strongest. Within its halls, radiant glyphs inscribe themselves upon the air, recording the thoughts and revelations of all who pass through. It is said that the Lioris gather here to contemplate cosmic truths beyond mortal understanding.

Line 78:

* Sunfire Baptisms: Initiates bathe in sacred pools infused with Aurelion’s energy, symbolizing the purification of the soul.

* Rites of Reflection: Mirrors and prisms are used in sacred ceremonies to reveal hidden truths, believed to channel Aurelion’s power.

|Mythology and Legends=The pursuit of Aurelion’s mysteries is a lifelong endeavor for scholars, mystics, and seekers of truth. Many believe prolonged exposure to the realm’s radiance can be overwhelming, stripping away falsehoods and illusions—but at a cost. Some legends speak of mortals who lost themselves in the light, their forms dissolving into pure energy.
