Auraverse

The **Auraverse** is a fictional alternate multiverse created as a fantasy campaign setting for tabletop role-playing games.

It was originally created in 2019 as a setting for D&D by Aaron Lavigne, but has since become a setting that can be used by any fantasy role-playing game.

The focal point of the setting is the Prime Aura, a realm much like the Earth's universe. Most stories take place within Val'tara, an Earth-like planet in the Lellio system, within a galaxy known as the Starlume.

## Description

Within the boundless expanse of the Auraverse, a multitude of realms unfolds, surpassing the limits of one's imagination. At its core lies the Prime Aura, a realm mostly stripped of magic's touch, where the essence of life and the souls of the living converge. Adjacent to this domain, barely separated by a delicate veneer, resides the Faerie Aura—an ethereal realm brimming with enchantment and wonder, where fey creatures and mystical beings roam untethered.

Enveloping the Faerie Aura are the Celestial Auras—nine resplendent beacons, radiant with hope and virtue. Within these domains of purity and luminosity, it is whispered that the righteous find their abode. Positioned at the four cardinal corners of the Celestial Auras lie the Elemental Auras—manifestations of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. Each embodiment personifies the unbridled might of their respective elements, unyielding and tempestuous in their unrestrained fury. These dominions become the dwelling places for beings of unimaginable potency, whose mere existence moulds the very tapestry of reality.

Skirting the edges of the Celestial Auras, nine foreboding Hell Auras take shape. Within each abode, a malevolent lord or lady assumes command, spreading an atmosphere of darkness and deceit. Among them, the infamous King Angrathrax reigns supreme, his grasp as unyielding as iron, extinguishing any semblance of deliverance.

Finally, in a swirling tapestry of disorder, Limbo clings to the edges of all the Auras, its presence an entangled web defying comprehension. Within this realm, chaos reigns supreme, its every fibre swayed by the mysterious force known as the Keeper.

## History

### Aura Wars

*Main article: Aura Wars*In ancient times, the Rift separated the Celestial Auras and the auras of Hell, but growing enmity led to a war between them. In -9,320 LC, the demon King Angrathrax captured Justacia, the goddess of law and justice, weakening the celestial forces. King Angrthrax bound Justacia's power to his own and used it to draw the Rift into the bowels of Hell, transforming it into the ninth layer of Hell known as the Necrotic Rift. In the same year, a battle for control over the Auraverse ensued among the forces of the Celestial and Hell Auras, which eventually bled into the Prime Aura. With the aid of mortal champions and divine intervention, the Prime Aura was saved from the demon horde, although Justacia remained imprisoned, symbolizing a glimmer of hope for her eventual freedom.
### Present day

The meaning of the term "present day" in the Auraverse depends completely on the context in which it is used. Game Masters are free to use the existing lore to form a setting for their games of Auraverse. Additionally, they may set their games at any point during the Auraverse's timeline. The lore of the Auraverse spans from the first recorded history of the planet Val'tara in -50,000 LC up until the year 3,215 LC, where 1 LC is the conception of the LC measurement of time.
