Aurelia is the princess of Myrravel and the mother of Helena Hyperion. She secured Ozaith's military support against Abraxas and joined Ulzathir's council before accompanying its army into the Plains of Eternity.
Appearance
Aurelia has golden blond hair and slate blue eyes. She wore violet robes with silver accents during her travels and later received black robes from Ulzathir's council.
Personality
Aurelia is openly affectionate and frequently flirts with men. She sought children with powerful mages to help save Myrravel. She jokes with Zayren and is close to Viviana and Gren. After leaving Helena in Ishtanûr, she missed her daughter but placed helping Myrravel before returning to her.
Magic
Aurelia uses divine magic to heal injuries, strengthen her body, and create shields. She demonstrated the ability to copy other mages' spells through touch, reproducing Viviana's plasma and Gren's air magic.
She carried a copied spell whose function she did not understand. Holding it inside her body required continuous healing and draining essence from nearby mages while she slept. She also used copied temporal magic to blink and briefly remove areas of space, whose return caused destructive shockwaves. After Helena's birth, her copied temporal magic disappeared and passed to her daughter.
History
Varnhallow and the Order
While seeking Ozaith's aid for Myrravel, Aurelia became trapped in Varnhallow. She stayed with Zayren and befriended Vianna. At Astralynne's tournament, she defeated Maia with divine and temporal magic, then accepted a patriarch position from Thalion, who was disguised as Eltaru. She healed Kren and Svanhild after their attack on him failed and escaped with Thalion's fleet when the real Eltaru broke Varnhallow's temporal barrier.
Aurelia helped the Order ambush and defeat Uriandel's advancing army. She then participated in the attack on Jazarel City intended to turn Jeremiah against Uriandel, before traveling with Isandriel, Viviana, and Gren toward Brighthaven and Ulzathir.
At Radiance Prime, Isandriel discovered that she had been draining her companions at night. Aurelia demonstrated her copy magic and admitted that she needed a child strong enough to inherit the spell she carried. Viviana agreed to take her to Ozaith. When Viviana awakened Pyrathalor, Aurelia helped shield the group from the eruption that destroyed Radiance Prime and healed Viviana's burned arm.
Helena and Myrravel
In Ishtanûr, Aurelia offered to bear Ozaith's child in exchange for help against Abraxas. Ozaith created the pregnancy through magic and required the child to remain with him. Aurelia accelerated the pregnancy with temporal magic and gave birth to Helena. She asked Viviana to name her daughter. Helena inherited temporal magic and the spell Aurelia had been carrying.
Aurelia joined Ulzathir's council before leaving Helena in Nadun's care. She promised to visit her daughter again, then left Ishtanûr with Viviana, Gren, and Sharuzh's army.
At the plains' border, Aurelia helped Viviana and Gren adapt to the dense, unfamiliar essence. She had grown up within the plains and could move and cast there without the difficulties they faced. After the army's preparations, Aurelia and Sharuzh led the march toward Myrravel, with Aurelia riding an ibrashi she had bought during the journey.
Relationships
- Abraxas: Aurelia copied a spell known to Abraxas without understanding its use. He had treated her kindly, while she sought Ozaith's support against him.
- Ozaith and Helena: Ozaith gave Aurelia a child capable of surviving the magic she carried and promised aid for Myrravel. Aurelia accepted that Helena would stay with him and hoped her daughter would one day help defeat Abraxas.
- Viviana and Gren: They are Aurelia's close friends. They escorted her to Ozaith and joined the army seeking to help Myrravel, while she helped them learn to survive within the plains.
Aurelia was the princess of Myrravel, a former Oracle of Eternity, and the mother of Helena Hyperion. She sought to stop the Plains of Eternity from consuming her homeland and drew Ozaith into Myrravel's attempt to seize control of the source guarded by the Oracles.
Appearance
Aurelia had golden blond curls and slate blue eyes. She usually wore violet robes with silver accents. After joining Ulzathir's council, she wore black robes provided by the council.
Personality
Aurelia was openly affectionate and frequently flirted with men, including offering to have children with powerful mages. She wanted children strong enough to oppose Abraxas and save Myrravel. She enjoyed her friendships with Viviana and Gren, but deceived them to secure their help against the Oracles. She missed Helena after leaving her in Ishtanûr, while placing Myrravel's survival before returning to her daughter.
Magic
Aurelia's origin magic allowed her to copy spells by touching another mage. Copied spells were often weaker than their originals, and she could retain copied temporal magic for months. She used it to blink and briefly remove areas of space, whose return caused destructive shockwaves. Her own divine magic let her heal injuries, strengthen her body, and create shields.
Her divine and origin essence were incompatible. Increasing her essence caused pain, and copying the mural spell inside the source's cave left her body deteriorating. She sustained herself through constant healing and draining essence from nearby mages while she slept.
History
Myrravel and the Oracles
Aurelia grew up in Myriandel with her parents, King Myrran and Queen Myralla. At nine, she accompanied them and Abraxas to Zarephon. She fell into the lake above the source and swallowed its water. An unfamiliar man pulled her out, dried her clothes, and touched her back before disappearing.
At fifteen, Aurelia's copy magic awakened during a royal meeting, releasing uncontrolled air, fire, and cosmic spells. Myrran taught her divine magic and expected her to free Myrravel from the plains. Her parents planned to give source water to young mages and build an army capable of defeating the Oracles.
When Abraxas offered to train her, Myrran and Myralla sent Aurelia to Zarephon to learn the Oracles' secrets and steal source water. She smuggled a flask home, which her parents gave to her third cousin Ranan. Abraxas taught her personally and treated her kindly. She also made friends among the Oracles, while continuing her forbidden divine training at her father's insistence.
Aurelia studied the essence reversal spell carved into the cave walls above the source. While Abraxas was away, she copied part of it and fled using temporal magic copied from another Oracle. She could perceive the spell's structure but did not understand its use. Her body began to decay, forcing her to seek someone powerful enough to carry the spell in her place.

While seeking Ozaith's aid, Aurelia became trapped in Varnhallow. She stayed with Zayren and befriended Vianna. At Astralynne's tournament, she defeated Maia with divine and temporal magic, then accepted a patriarch position from Thalion, who was disguised as Eltaru. She healed Kren and Svanhild after their attack on him failed and escaped with Thalion's fleet when the real Eltaru broke Varnhallow's temporal barrier. The escape displaced Aurelia several decades from her own time.
She helped the Order ambush and defeat Uriandel's advancing army and participated in the attack on Jazarel City intended to turn Jeremiah against Uriandel. She then traveled with Isandriel, Viviana, and Gren toward Brighthaven and Ulzathir.

Helena inherited temporal magic and the mural spell, while Aurelia's copied temporal magic disappeared.
Aurelia joined Ulzathir's council before leaving Helena in Nadun's care. She and Sharuzh led Ozaith's army north. She helped Viviana and Gren adapt to the plains' essence, then accompanied the army to Myrravel.
Betrayal and death
Myriandel was intact when the army arrived. Ranan and Nuvyra welcomed Ulzathir's forces and prepared to attack the source with Sharuzh. Aurelia supported their plan to claim the source. When Nadun opposed claiming the source, Ranan, Nuvyra, and Sharuzh killed him. Aurelia brought Viviana and Gren to the palace, where Sharuzh publicly blamed Abraxas for Nadun's death and the damage to Myriandel. Viviana and Gren had witnessed the murder and later escaped the army.
Aurelia remained with Myrravel's forces when they advanced toward Isandriel and Thamrielle during their fight over the supposed source. Viviana, Gren, Igor, and Ereshval's army intercepted them. Viviana found Aurelia healing wounded mages, broke her shield, and pinned her to the ground with ice.
Aurelia admitted that she had been an Oracle and had passed on magic her body could not contain. She intended Helena to be the first of many children capable of freeing Myrravel. After hearing Aurelia's childhood history, Viviana tortured her and killed her with ice needles. Gren did not intervene.
Relationships
- Myrran and Myralla: Her parents sent her to spy on the Oracles and steal source water. Myrran taught her divine magic and insisted she continue despite Abraxas's prohibition.
- Abraxas: He was Aurelia's teacher and considered her exceptionally skilled. She copied a spell reserved for the Keeper of Prophecies and fled his service.
- Ozaith and Helena: Aurelia's agreement with Ozaith saved her life and secured an army for Myrravel. She left Helena with Ozaith and Nadun, promising to visit her, and hoped her daughter would become powerful enough to help Myrravel.
