**Auroris**is a god featured in The Archaia Chronicles. He is the primordial God of the Day. Auroris alongside his brother Maru, was tasked with maintaining life on Archaia through the day and night cycle. However, when Maru rebelled against Archaia and was subsequently banished, Auroris took up the responsibility of watching over the balance of night and day.

Auroris is regarded as the most involved deity in the world of Archaia. His name and work is ever-present among the people, and he is seen as the bringer of good fortune and prosperity. He is a crucial foundation for order and peace, as is his job of raising both the moon and sun, always navigating his subjects into his benevolent light.

## Background

In the beginning of time, the two primordial lovers, Chronum and Myranda, of time and life respectively, conceived an egg. According to their oracle, Filus, it was to contain two forces that would govern Chronum's flow of time. However, they were warned to keep them in harmony with each other, or else the world would be plunged into chaos. From the egg, a pair of twins were born. The firstborn was as dark as the moon, and was given the name Maru; the other shined as bright as the sun, and was named Auroris.

On their ninth birthday, the young brothers were approached by their father and presented with two gifts. Auroris was given the sun, while Maru was given the moon. Both children were ordained to keep the balance between light and dark equal, and thus maintain the order of time for the ancient Archaians. For millennia thereafter, the twin brothers worked in tandem to harmoniously maintain day and night cycle, with Auroris raising the sun to bring forth day, and Maru blanketing the world in tranquil night under his moon.

The ancients praised both brother gods for their work, but it was Auroris's brilliant light they adored the most. It filled them with total happiness whenever it shined down on them and warmed their skin. They basked in his light and celebrated him as their one true savior, guardian, and deity. For Auroris, it inflated his ego, all of the tribute for the Protoarchaians, leading him to develop somewhat of a streak of arrogance. Yet, despite his clear egotism, he was still a benevolent and righteous deity.

As the generations passed by, the Protoarchaians continued to glorify Auroris. Meanwhile however, his twin brother Maru grew resentful of his praise, Auroris tried to reconcile with his brother but failed, further worsening the tension between them. Ultimately, Maru rebelled against him and abandoned the balance of night and day to pursue his dark goals. Auroris was to face his greatest tribulation. He had to restore balance before all was plunged into chaos like the prophecy Filus stated long ago.

For two centuries, Auroris fought against the darkness of his bitter brother in the Primordial War. In the end he emerged victorious, but at the cost of banishing his brother away for eternity. Something which, to this day, he grieves over. Despite his loss, Auroris rose to become the Primordial of both Day and Night so that he could continue to always watch over the Archaians and keep them in his loving daylight.
