The Auroran Sovereignty

The Auroran Sovereignty is the oldest of the standing kingdoms, with the city of Auroraea standing for all of written history. The "Golden Crown Above" sits atop the Gilded Plateau, high above the rest of the Veilands. The power of the Auroran Legions is well-known across the lands. The campaigns into the lands beneath are spoken about with praise and disdain, depending on who you speak to. However, the Legions have remained on their plateau ever since the conclusion of the Fourth War of Spear and Staff. Regardless, the Sovereignty remains a titan of political and military power in the Veilands.

Founding

The records of the sages only go back to the days following the Apotheosis. However, even in this time of ages long past, Auroraea stood tall. What came before the Apotheosis is unknown, but after the Apotheons sewed shut the tear in the world, the Auroran Sovereignty began.

Political Structure

The Sovereign

The Auroran Sovereignty has maintained its political hierarchy for millennia, and shows no signs of changing now. At the top of the pyramid of power, seated on the Luxon Throne, is the Sovereign Tiber Valerian. The Sovereign wields near-absolute authority in the Inauratus, and his word guides the march of hundreds of thousands. Valerian is young for the position of Sovereign, being only in his 32nd year. However, his leadership has been decisive, and he was instrumental in the signing the [[Treaty of

The Concilium

The Concilium is the primary body of legislative power in the Sovereignty. Officially made up of 500 members, the Concilium handles votes on laws governing daily life before they are presented to the Sovereign for final judgement. The Concilium is seated by lords and ladies of noble houses, military leaders, and economic moguls. However, the entire body only meets once a year. The majority of the time, concerns of the Concilium only require the attention of the core 50 members, known as the Pentorum. These are members whose daily profession is that of governance, and they hold the most sway in the decisions that are made for the normal life of citizens under the Sovereignty.

Military

The Auroran Legions are might made manifest in the Veilands, standing over 100,000 strong. The Legions were originally founded to take the entire Gilded Plateau under one banner, and now they descend into the lower lands on campaigns of expansion.
