Aurora— She Stood Where the Lamps Ended

Beneath the moon of Artemis, Aurora stands in the sacred water dressed in white and gold. The old goddess still rules the sky, but every lamp around her burns for the Dawn. She wears no crown because by Book Three the realm no longer needs one to recognize her. Her presence has become proof enough.

She is still a woman, but the world around her has already stopped seeing one. It sees the Source—the living light at the center of the realm, beautiful, serene, and beyond question.
