Clan Aura

== History and Economy ==
Clan Aura is a relatively new clan, being only a few decades old, found in the Mirrorlight Promenade. Despite its relative youth it has a population of several thousand, who live in the buildings and ruins on either side of an aqueduct running through its center. In technicality it is beholden to the Solaris Estate, the noble family who granted its founders enough funds to get themselves on their feet; Casper works tirelessly to free the clan from their taxation.
Clan Aura is famous for its craftsmen; it has a strong mercantile economy built on trade and crafts. Casper encourages this, taking advantage of the clan's peaceful existence. 
Possibly the greatest thing Clan Aura is known for is its Brightshine Jubilee celebration. The entire clan is decorated, with lanterns strung over the aqueduct and between buildings, and colorful banners and streamers decorating the streets. Merchants and craftsmen come from across Sornieth to show off their wares and mingle in a massive marketplace that takes over the clan's central commercial area for the week of the festival, as bards participate in performances and competitions that last into the wee hours of the morning.
== Current State ==
After the massacre led by the undead Viper, with the shade entity Nihilis possessing him, Clan Aura was left in shambles with many of its members dead and many of its structures destroyed. Casper left control of the clan to her daughter Sia, donned her burnt-black mourning jewelry, and travelled to Fort Umbra to seek revenge.
Sia leads Clan Aura with a firm yet fair rule, having formerly been their judge, but always with the expectation that her mother will return to take over once again. She has spearheaded the restoration effort, and many of their destroyed homes have been rebuilt. The clan is currently mid-preparation for their Jubilee festivities, though their loss still weighs heavily on them.
