Aurora/page1
History
Aurora was formed by a brave band of colonists on the 22nd of February, 8 days into the Spring of the ninth year of Dwilight. Their names were carved on the walls of Unterstrom, so none would forget their brave deeds. Its is said that the monsters themselves gave way before the proud host that took the city.
Their names are recorded below:
On the 10th day of July, 1010, Auroran council decided to surrender claims over its regions to Corsanctum, following a huge offensive by the monsters. By the 14th, all Auroran regions but the capital, Unterstrom joined Corsantum, thus bringing an end to Aurora, but a new beginning for the Mimerian Peninsula.
Government
The government is a theocracy of the bloodstars, devoted to Sanguis Astroism. Major decisions are taken by the ruler and the Council of Three, the ruler, general, and judge of the realm.
Faith
The tomb of Grand Master Deverka lies in the city, and built around it is a temple to the stars. The stars are held in high regard by the colonists, but they struggled to convert the peasantry. It was not until Light Varchilde herself visited the city that its people started respecting and following the stars. Many pilgrims from Xinhai pass this way, headed to the holy city of Mimer.
Much is planned for the faith, including a grander temple to the stars. May it come to pass soon.
