The Sun Elves originated from Aurel, a mythologized continent described in ancient texts as a land of golden cities, endless sunlight, and harmonious magical order. Aurel was believed to be aligned with solar movements, its temples and towers designed to channel radiant energy at precise celestial intervals. | |||
Little knowledge remains of Aurel—whether the continent sank, was destroyed, or was sealed away remains a matter of speculation. For many Aurelian-descended cultures, Aurel exists more as a spiritual ideal than a historical location, often referenced in ceremony, architecture, and metaphysical theory. | |||
