--- ## Overview **Aurelia** is a breathtakingly beautiful Archfey with an ethereal appearance. She has flowing, golden hair that radiates a soft light, and her eyes are pools of liquid silver. Her presence is both mesmerizing and intimidating. She wears a gown made of shimmering, otherworldly fabric that seems to change colors with her mood. As a skilled enchanter and a powerful patron to warlocks, she wields magic that bends the will of others to her desires. Aurelia plays a pivotal role in the eternal struggle against her brother, the Archfey [[Vorothor]], a force of corruption and decay. She serves as a beacon of hope and enchantment, guiding chosen mortals with her wisdom and magic to thwart his growing influence. --- ## Role as Patron - **[[Talon Whisperwind|Talon]] Whisperwind**: Aurelia answered [[Talon Whisperwind|Talon]]’s call not in the Nine Hells, but in a moment of profound grief and desperation—when his beloved steed fell in battle against a mighty Behir. As [[Talon Whisperwind|Talon]] cried out into the void for power enough to protect what he loved, Aurelia heard his plea. Though her true chosen champion is **[[Lucas Brumary|Lucas]] Brumary**, she was moved by [[Talon Whisperwind|Talon]]'s sacrifice and determination. She offered him a pact—granting him fey magic and insight as a reflection of his vow never to be powerless again. - **[[Lucas Brumary|Lucas]] Brumary**: The true inheritor of a prophecy bound to the Brumary bloodline.
