Aura
Origin: During one of Pyraea and Morrow's many clashes, Pyraea, seeking to gain an advantage over Morrow, raised the heat of her flames to unprecedented levels. As the waves of Morrow's realm were evaporated entirely, they ascended into the emptiness above and coalesced to form Aura, the embodiment of the sky.
Worship: Followers of Aura are devoted to the pursuit of absolute freedom, liberated from the constraints imposed by others and detached from earthly concerns. Many devotees lead solitary lives as hermits, travelers, or even pirates in their quest for personal autonomy. Consequently, there are few dedicated cities or churches in her honor, with only scattered monasteries and small temples devoted to her worship. However, the Isle de Aura is revered as a sacred site believed to be a fragment of land carried by Aura upon her emergence. Seekers have sought this elusive location for generations, with speculation placing it within the 'Uncharted'.
Worship: Whilst there are many followers of Aura ranging from monks, clergymen and the average avian commoners you would be hard-pressed to find temples or churches dedicated to her as these concepts are contradictary to her teachings. Most of her followers without built-in wings will always try to find a way to reach the heavens as such flying spells are very popular. The followers of Aura cremate their dead to replicate the manner in which Aura herself was formed, allowing their being to join her in the air afterwhich they will usually either fly up or find a high point to spread the ashes from.
Role in myth: In most stories Aura finds herself being depicted as a troublemaker of sorts, getting into all sorts of high jinks. This results into her having to either creatively solve these issuess herself or enlist the aid of other gods, usually her son Auryn.
Afterlife: Followers of Aura believe in an afterlife where those who relinquish their earthly ties ascend to join Aura in the clouds, entering her paradisiacal realm of boundless freedom.
