Aurora
Aurora is the fantasy canon roleplay (RP) of the South Pacific. This topic provides an overview of the contents of Aurora on this forum, and provides general information and important links. This topic also serves as a general discussion thread for all things related to Aurora or RP in general. Feel free to post your questions below.
Introduction
Terra Aurora is a region full of magnificent nature, powerful kingdoms and skilled individuals, whether in fine arts, fighting or magic. The canon is mostly based on typical fantasy universes as you know them from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings or the computer game series The Elder Scrolls. However the canon is still young and in development and there are some players, who also tried out going into a punk-direction, steampunk to be precise, with their roleplaying area. In the end YOUR fantasy shall shape this canon.
The Aurora canon was founded in 2020 and has a mix of player-controlled nations and non-player nations that everyone can reference and help worldbuild. Getting started might seem a little daunting, but hopefully this introduction to the Aurora category on these forums and reading the guide will help you on your journey.
For those of us who come from the old forums, it should be noted that threads are called topics here.
