Homebrew Aurela Species Details

The Aurela was among the first of the Osili, the Followers of Osi, and as such their past is a long-forgotten relic of time. Even their name is not that of their original people. Many of the Aurela serve with distinction in the Dominion, which translates into being good cogs in the machine.

Lost to history

Whatever your people once were you are no longer. As such most Aurela serve with great loyalty to the dominion as no one knows an alternative. Some Of the Aurela however do decide to find their own path in life as exiles hunted by their fellow countrymen. The Aurela which leave are like empty slates, with no ties to anything in the world, many find the world a confusing and chaotic place. And many in the end resort to more barbarous means to survive in this hostile world, while some settle down far away from everything. And some go out into the world in order to make a name for themselves and a place to call their own.

Totalitarian Origin

Many Aurela finds the lack of structure to be most disturbing. And cannot fully comprehend that some do not know their purpose or lot in life. This is an alien Concept to the Aurela born within the dominion as their teachers choose their purpose in life early in life, and as with most of those born in the dominion, they view purpose as the most important thing in life. Therefore many find the world outside the dominion to be chaotic and a purposeless place. Those who leave the dominion behind may find that the world is a strange place and some may find its chaotic nature refreshing.  

Aurela Names

The Aurela like all other members of the Dominion does not have personal names, but instead, carry the name of their station and function within the state. Though many who leave the dominion do at one point adopt a name, usually a local name. To Many Aurela the idea of a personal name is weird, and as such, they instead adopt a word that describes them. The Aurela do not have the concepts of families and therefore do not deal in surnames, although some of them might decide to start the tradition. Many within the dominion also give each other nicknames, some may decide to keep them.
