'Shine like the mystic lights'
The guild for those in need of a start, whether it be a fresh one or the first step. Aurora welcomes all in their time of need, so long as they are willing to make an effort to better themselves. Aurora is about helping oneself see the light in the world, others, and themselves, and the harmony it brings to everything along the way.
Albeit a young guild, there is something to be said of its past. In the wake of the demise of another, some of the previous members led by the former Aces Theo Silverblood and Rin Mayou regrouped and thus the new guild, Aurora was born. A guild needs a guild hall, to which the found masters had gotten a suitable hall for the guild of light. A majestic castle overlooking the sky, once they had that, they called home all their wayward comrades, and open the golden gates to knew ones too. A happy tale that seems that would end there, but alas, the tale goes on. As the guild had gotten onto it's feet, the founding masters mysteriously disappeared, without word. The magic council, witnessing the hard work put in by all and wanted to keep them together, but the guild required a master. In their decision, they decreed that the succession fall to Lunaris Mira.
However, a new chapter is yet to unfold itself...
Situated atop the tallest mountain in the area, the castle nestled at its crest is often shielded from view by clouds. Since it's above the lower cloud line, it has a fine view of the aurora borealis every night, becoming the source if the guild's name. The castle is huge and ornate, and every room inside is done up in golds and other precious metals.
A muscular, white, unicorn roams the breadth of Aurora's castle —this majestic equine, which the guild affectionately refers to as "Murphy" acts as a protector and a symbol for the castle's occupants. No one knows how or why the divine beast came to reside in the keep, nor by what criteria it judges who is worthy of its acceptance. One thing is certain: Murphy seems to be able to sense good intentions and a desire for atonement, while driving off any travelers who come with unrepentant evil in their hearts. Murphy is a kind and gentle soul, but for reasons unknown seemed to frequently attack Theo Silversong on sight, as if he was an enemy.
It is recommended that guild members gain Murphy's trust upon recruitment to avoid being attacked on sight and driven from the castle grounds. Murphy's acceptance can be gained in any number of ways, but he will not respond well to actions which a majority of the population would consider "evil" or "selfish", nor will it respond well to discussion of Theo Silversong.
This is the town in the valley between the mountain topped by Avolire Castle and Ivory Cascades. The architecture is largely woods from the deep woods surrounding the mountain, though most buildings have silver accents from nearby mines. Things are built almost vertically, taking advantage of the mountain side and subsequent valleys as the land slopes toward the cascades.
