Culture
The Aurenfaie are seen as the people of Aura- the Aurenfaie name for the god the Skalans call Illior. As such, they are a highly spiritual and peaceful people, generally slow to violence. They believe in taking as much as is needed from nature (in terms of hunting etc.) and no more. The Aurenfaie hold dragons in special reverence, viewing them as being chosen creatures of Aura. (As Skalans similarly see Owls to be the chosen animals of Illior).
