• Corsanctum : Aurora has worked hard to defend the south of the holy realm from rogues, and is eager to form a bond with them.

• Pian en Luries : After a successful initial contact with Queen Alanna of the Lurian Empire, Aurora plans to send its first ambassador down south.

• Xinhai : The home of the vast majority of Auroran colonists, Aurora is a close ally and friend of Xinhai.

• Aquilegia : This realm has been largely ignored, mostly because of its war on Xinhai.

Unterstrom lies between Xinhai and Astrum, and is becoming a major trading hub, and a resting point for all traders. Festivals and fairs are common, and although the realm is yet financially insecure, its influence and wealth is slowly increasing.

Deverka's tomb lies in the middle of the city, and is often visited by the locals and tourists. Even after Morek left the city, the peasants did not loot the tomb, fearing the wrath of the stars. It is one of the grandest buildings in Aurora, the white marble from which it is built was carried all the way from Mt. Black Nastrond. It is said when the light of the setting sun falls upon the tomb, it lights up the whole sky in a blaze of color.

A fair in Unterstrom.
