Aurelia the Ascended

Lore

Aurelia, the demigod embodiment of humanity and kindness, was born on the first light of the first day that dawned on the legendary city of Athensphere. Known to some as Aurelia of the Light, she was a maternal figure often sought out for comfort and advice from both demigods and mortals alike. Intimately attuned to the rhythms of heaven, Aurelia's melodious voice is said to soothe even the wildest of beasts. Records salvaged from the mysterious land that emerged through the Void Rift contained information pertaining to this gentle muse. Aurelia tended patiently to the wounded and the dead during the devastating Augmentation Wars, her divine song a balm upon broken spirits. Although Gazia's betrayal hung over Athensphere like a black fog of dread, Aurelia never faltered in her belief that light would always triumph over darkness. Even as the sun was blotted out by endless swarms of mechanical wings, Aurelia stood tall and served as a guiding beacon of hope. While there is little mention of her direct involvement against the Iron Army, she was said to be far from helpless, raining down prismatic shards of light with a single, sonorous strum of her harp. Appended to the end of the record is a fragment of what appears to be a hymn sung by Aurelia herself: "Hail, Light! Keep this city safe, and govern my song. Glory be, now and forever, to the sons and daughters of Athensphere."
