**Elren Vrocht** was the name of the capitol city in the island known as Aul Aer in noxist, or Jardine to most people today.

The island belonged to the Duke of Aul Aer, a vassal of the Noxist Kingdom.

Today the Island is part of Alamayn.

## **Origin Myths and History**

### **The abduction of the sun**

According to Auron's Saga, one of the six holly books of Noxism, Aul Aer, meaning in *"The Isle of the Sun"* in the ancient language, was the home of one of the groups called *"Aulmaer"*. To the Noxists, the *Aulmear* where the worshipers of the sun, it had a similar meaning to *barbarian.*

Supposedly, when the Noxist first arrived into Helmia they drove out the native *Aulmear* by force. The Noxist where led into battle by their grand general, Afton. On the other hand, the *Aulmear* responded to their king and their god himself, *Aul*, The Sun.

Afton conquered their land, day by day all the *Aulmerian* cities fell to the Noxist. Until finally Afton headed west, to the heart of the empire, *Aul Aer*. There an heavenly battle took place. In the end, inside the palace of *Aul*, Afton slew the sun. His blood sprayed the walls of the palace and Afton himself. He painted himself with the blood of the fallen go and he himself became divine. Afton ascended to the heavens as the one true god. The *Aulmear* cried for mercy, so Afton spared the prince, the new sun, *Auron* and took him in as his own child.

Then the noxist tore down the palace and built their own to control the island.

### **The Aulmear and the Aulders**

The natives of the island where sun worshipers. They held a maritime empire which probably spanned across the islands and the shores of the Northern sea. They traded with wine and pottery all over Helmia.

Their emperor was the descendant of the sun himself, their primary deity. The last emperor, from who we have account from Noxist scribes, was of the Aulder dynasty. Nothing less is known about him.

### **Noxist rule**

The Noxists built a massive rock fort on the western shore of the isle, now known as *Ljoch Vrocht*, abandoned castle. A noxist city was built around it. Both cultures intermixed into a more colourful version of the Noxist culture. Little by little the population declined until the island was ultimately abandoned.

Scholars have noticed an apparent rivalry, when Elren, which used to be the trade hub of the natives started declining, and the Lunese created a new trade hub west of helmia in Bern Vralas. Apparently both cities competed with one another and ended up having a strong trade relationship with one another. This explains why Bernish jewlery is often found in Aul Aer ruins. Even ruins of bernish architecture have been found. Either way, both cities ended stepping down when Sovdal started growing and beame the indisputed capital of Noxist culture.

Under the rule of King Dark Saigard the island was returned to the Aulder dynasty. And so Duke Juli Aulder took it upon himself to rebuild the ruins of his ancestors.

Nowadays Elren is slowly growing into a trading hub.

It is also known for being a beautiful retreat destination for newly weds, writers and veterans.

## **Religion and Culture**

In Aul Aer a variant known as *Aulderian Noxism* is the official religion. Not much differs from the main version. The main difference is Auron is revered at the same height as Afton, and he is also seen as the rightful sun god. Right now there is only one holy site which was built by the Froggy himself. Plans for it's transportation into the centre of the island are on their way, as well as the construction of a traditional *Aulmerian* temple, a temple to the sea god and burial grounds.

The culture is a colourful variant of noxism. Mostly noticeable in the colourful robes the inhabitants were and the colourful buildings and farms there are all through out the city.

It is tradition in Aul Aer to accompany the famous cooked cod and carrot dish with a delicious bottle of Elren Wine.

## **Geography and Urbanism**

The island is mostly flat wit a few small mounds. A channel from which the *Aulder* dynasty name comes from cuts the island into two. The channel gives extreme fertility to the island, which grows the best crops in Noxnorr.

The northern tip of the island houses a dense forests, where a massive magical tree known as Kotevni grows larger everyday. Most of the forest has since been burned down by CaptainCHreeper.

Two urban centre have emerged. One revolving Elren Vrocht and the local farms, and another one around the bleak castle of *Ljoch Vrocht*.
