Aurora

She/her

An oracle who looks into the future. Her pearl is her crystal ball, which she looks into each night for guidance. It shows her the morning - if the sun will rise, and if so, it's characteristics, surroundings, etc. Her visions of dragons and items are more blurry. Simply looking into it can show her the future of nearby things or what she's thinking about.

She saw the fates of Doombringer and Dermot and warned them, but to no avail.

Aurora is also a knight, fighting to preserve peaceful futures and sunrises. A peaceful sunrise marks a peaceful world, so she will ensure that the sun rises each day.

Aurora is both the latin word for and goddess of dawn, and as a bonus is also aurora borealis/australis!

lore ideas:
-"hatching" or cracking with light over time.
--something about aurora's lover here... him being immortal but aging, becoming a dark cicada... hmmm
-aurora's stories and such
--"Aurōra renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the Sun." both of these ideas could be connected by aurora like. cracking more as the suns arrival is announced
-some kind of oracle. just gives me the vibes. also fits in with the last ideas
--something to do with doombringer and dermot?

---

major places/lore derg? either way, trying to get a code working for it. serves as a list of all... places really, major or minor

to do:
-add more places ofc
-update individual dragons' lore to reflect it
-separate into minor and major areas/factions

Suncast Armory Aurora Home of The Oracle's divination and weaponry, as well as a rest stop for many. The atmosphere is calm, quiet and cozy here, with the shop also serving as Aurora's home. Weapons and crystals line the walls, hung up for sale - often, crystals with various meanings are part of the weapons, whether it be good luck, magical power, or even future foresight of one's own. Open to all, day through night, except for at dawn: when she sees the next day's sunrise through her pearl.

Location: Starwood Strand's edge, near the river

The Order Soleil | Others TBA An organization focused on "restoring balance to the world." In the wake of Sornieth's recent chaos, the group came together and amassed a minor following, dedicated to restoring what is right. "Sornieth, in it's current state, is in complete disarray... The scales are tipped; yin is without it's yang; chaos and instability reigns the world. There is no safety amongst them. We, who recognized this, made a vow: we are here to shield the suffering and restore justice. In time, balance will be restored, and all that is right will fall into place again. We will have harmony, and happiness, for all." ~The Harmonic, The Equipoise, The Fair

Apostates of Autonomy Ines | Royal | Patois | Locket "And yet you built us all defective. Is it righteous to build a league of constructs, made to preach and to suffer for what they were built never to reach? Is it just to mold their minds and lives of the weak into what only you see fit, all under the guise of fate? To pay with the years of their lives for a debt that doesn't even exist. A panopticon. A prison. The greatest symbol of injustice there is." ~Ines A group of ex-members who sparked a rebellion among the organization and were soon chased out. They've all renamed themselves, built their own base, and began their own counter-organization against The Order. Ines is their leader, and Locket is 2nd-in-command - despite her extremely rare appearances at base - as the very first defector of The Order.

Primordial Sea Ceto | Sharpsacle | Patois Hidden away in the Worldedge Wastelands, Ceto tends to a massive whirlpool shrouded in greenery. It's ancient, having eroded the land below it with it's movement, and seems to lead into an endless abyss. Ceto's nearby abode has been developing for years alongside it. She's built it herself using a mix of magic and slow, hard work. She's very proud of it, and ensures that noone damages her home or her sea. For out of the sea, clawing from the abyss, come her fated children.

Location: Worldedge Wastes

Hexceed Industries Hex | Curse | Myxoradiophobia This sleek building with neon lights sticks out like a sore thumb in the Wandering Contagion, managing to stand it's ground against it's constant need to devour. Minimalist and modern, it's first-floor storefront draws in customers to "the newest and most virulent developments in plagues and disease." Beneath this first-floor facade lies an expansive laboratory full of subjects of every kind. The rotted and abandoned, the chronically ill, the endlessly studied and those between the cracks are all contained in her lab. Hex spends nearly all of their time here, for there is always work to be done, and only they can do it right. Noone, noone else, can be fully trusted. She'll never let her guard down again until the world is hers.
