Aurus

Originally founded as a safe haven from the Rasans invading Anvil, Aurus now stands as one of Sheighorash's oldest cities. Aurus quickly became a mining colony after gold was discovered underneath the Great Dunes desert. Because of the high amount of gold, Sheighorash became a very prosperous city with high amounts of growth. The riches the city surmounted made the Rasans jealous and called for a raid on the settlement. As a defense the people set up Golems to stand as defenders. What the citizens were not aware of was that the gold would become a Holy Guardian. Sworn to defend Aurus and its people, the Guardians fended off the Rasans. Knowing they have a reliable defense, Aurus sent more Guardians to the small Capital, Anvil. Although the city does not play as much of a major role in current times, Aurus still serves as one of the major shipping towns on the island, second to Anvil.

Aurus' people largely resemble the Rasan people they descend from, One of the cultural celebrations of Aurus is called Aibara. Celebrated during the late summer as a commemoration for those that defended the city against the Rasan people so many years back. Some of the major attractions to Aurus are the Great Dunes, which is largely observed as the city's landmark while also making it one of the largest landmarks worldwide. Local fauna are largely reptilian due to excess of heat while baring some mammalian animals such as hares and jackals. Avian lifeforms tend to live near oases such as the Migratory Slackbill.
