Explore the World of Aura
Zinah
Deserts, canyons, savannas, dead mountains, sandstorms, and scorching winds. Despite these circumstances, the Zinahns live luxuriously inside
technologically advanced cities surrounded by a wall that controls the temperature.
​
The previous Capital of Zinah is the south-east Canyon City of Dahl Barah. The canyons made it near impenetrable until the advent of Airships at the year 500AH. The current Capital is now the City of Xerik, lying in
the middle of the desert.
Praganja
Beyond the wall surrounding the entire Kingdom lies lush green forests and plains ending in the Jheb Mountain Range- a ring of mountains surrounding the Great Praganjan Lake and the Eight Great Cities. And at the very center of those Cities lies the Kingdom's Capital, the City of Galienne.
​
The palace named Arbiter's Solace houses the Praganjan Royal Family, and also serves as the Shard Reactor- the power source for the entirety of the Capital and the Eight Great Cities. Meanwhile, the small towns and cities of the Outer Region rely on their own Shard Reactors from local mines.

Pyralcia
Being the largest Kingdom in the world, it contains diverse biomes ranging from humid jungles from the north, and freezing glaciers
down south.
But it is also the poorest Kingdom in the world. Islands consider themselves as their own Kingdom and invade other islands. After years and years of infighting, over half of the population lives in poverty, while the rest either serve their local island militia or serve the Central Pyralcian Military in Palla Castella, the Kingdom's Capital.
Elyciux
With endless wastelands and dead seas, Elyciux is the perfect place for exiles and Aurans to die in. But down south lies the Abandoned Isles- a group of small jungle islands untouched by man for nearly
a thousand years. At the Kingdom's north-east end lies the Dark Crater- a crater as wide as a dozen cities and as deep as Praganja's Great Lake. Scholars speculate that something was once placed there. What that is and when it was is unknown.
​
Flying around the Kingdom is the Sky City of Minerva, where only the rich live. Meanwhile, lucky exiles and Aurans may make it to the underground city of Xalecia- a home to all outcasts. It matters not whether they're human or Auran. Since the location of Xalecia isn't public, most exiles die trying to find it, and for those who do know where it is, most die trying to make it there.
Gaia
The smallest of the five Kingdoms, and frozen all over. Forests and greenery are few and far between, so most people live in poverty. But what Gaia lacks in resources, they make up for in its military might. Men all over the Kingdom enlist at a young age so their family would receive its benefits.
Most soldiers are stationed in the Capital, the City of Valor, where only soldiers take up residence. The Gaian Royal Family resides in Castle Virtue, overlooking the entirety of Valor. At the northernmost end of the Kingdom lies the Shard Reactor called Mother's Warmth, powering the entire Kingdom and keeping everything from freezing.
Aurans
Cursed beings that radiate colored light. Stronger than a regular human and emulate the element of the Shard they used.
​
Aggressive, unreasonable, and destructive, but only for the first few minutes. But even so, their actions done within those first few minutes is often catastrophic- killing dozens of innocent people and destroying numerous properties.
​
Are immediately exiled without question as killing them could result in yet another catastrophic incident.
​
Celestial Auras
Mythical Auras that possess traits unlike any other. Often found in various fairy tales depicting them as either a force of good, or a force of evil. Due to lack of knowledge, many deny the existence of these Auras and consider them as fiction.

For Ren, ignoring them was easy- the people screaming and going after each other’s necks. He didn’t believe it concerned him- the alliance between his home Kingdom of Zinah and the war-waging Kingdom of Gaia. All he wanted was to continue his carefree life.
He wished he listened. The cityscapes he loved so much were now nothing more than rubble. The people he knew since childhood have been either taken away or brutally killed. And when the King of Gaia took his sister, Garnet, Ren made it his life’s duty to bring hell to him and Gaia the way they did to him.
