Origins of Aurelina

Aurelina is said to have arisen during the Age of Discord, when rival magical orders battled for supremacy and nearly tore Afia apart. From the chaos of their conflict emerged a luminous presence, weaving together the fractured threads of arcane power into harmony. Whether she was born of mortal will or was always a hidden force of the Weave is debated, but all agree she embodies the unity of magic’s many paths. Her first teachings centered on respect between disciplines, reminding spellcasters that their art was not a weapon of dominion but a gift meant to illuminate and uplift.

Domains of Influence

As goddess of Arcana, Knowledge, and Light, Aurelina is invoked whenever mortals seek clarity in the mysteries of magic. Wizards, sorcerers, artificers, and even bards honor her as the patron of discovery and balance. She is not a goddess of raw destructive might, but of wisdom, collaboration, and progress. Her symbol, a starburst entwined with an open tome, reflects her dual nature: the radiant spark of inspiration and the written record of collective knowledge.

The Pact of Unity

Legends tell that Aurelina descended once in radiant form, calling together feuding circles of wizards and sorcerous lineages. Where others saw only rivals, she wove their strengths into a grand pact — the Concord of the Radiant Conflux — which promised mutual respect among practitioners of the arcane. Though the original pact has long since faded from mortal law, its spirit endures in @Velarion, where her worship remains central to magical society.

The @Sanctuary of the Radiant Conflux

In @Levithal, the floating capital of @Velarion, the Sanctuary of the Radiant Conflux serves as her holiest temple. The sanctuary is more than a place of prayer — it is also a meeting ground for scholars, a neutral hall where disputes between spellcasters are mediated under her divine symbol.

Worship and Rites

Aurelina’s followers see the pursuit of magic as a sacred duty. Worship takes the form of study, teaching, collaboration, and the crafting of spells or items. Festivals in her name — called Conflux Gatherings — are held on nights when the stars shine brightest, during which spellcasters of every discipline display their arts in cooperative rituals of light and wonder.

Views Among Mortals

To her devotees, Aurelina is a beacon of inspiration, but not all view her favorably. Some martial traditions mistrust her for elevating magic over the strength of steel, and certain warlocks see her teachings as meddling in the “freedom” of raw power. Even within magical circles, those who covet supremacy over balance see her ideals as a hindrance. Still, her faith thrives most strongly in @Velarion, where her teachings shaped the very foundation of the floating capital @Levithal.
