Aurae
Aurea are nymphs associated with the sea and the
night sky, currents, breezes, and the constellations.
Each aurae claims an island for her home, and she
guards it with fearsome devotion. The most territorial
of the nymphs, aurae have taken it upon themselves to
stem the tide of civilization and do not tolerate mortals
on their islands. They are not malicious or cruel, and
they always give trespassers fair warning to leave. But
if their words go unheeded, they will not hesitate to
smite interlopers with all their power.
Aurae sometimes become muses for mortals. These
nymphs have an innate fascination with words and
language, and thrill in the abilities of poets, storytellers,
and lyricists. Some of history’s greatest songs, poems,
and tales are thought to have been inspired by aurae.
Like other nymphs, aurae can charm others to fight
for them, but they also wield great strength, both physical and magical. In battle, aurae weave fey magic into
beautiful songs to lull their opponents to sleep and to
inflict psychic harm through vivid nightmares.
