The Shield of the Moon ("Shield of the Moon") — The moon is a powerful symbol of healing and magic. Any who dream they're protected by the moon shall know faith and fortitude. I hope I'm worthy of such a vision.

Where life goes, so too, should you. — The world is a delicious and gorgeous place created for us to explore, enjoy, and protect. I will seek out the lessons in every experience, and as I grow, I will have more to offer in return.

Cycle of Noon — Sylvari awakened mid-day solve problems by attacking them head-on. We are the warriors, hunters, and travelers who experience life first-hand and enjoy the rush of taking risks in order to feel truly alive.

---

Never one to shy away from danger, Aurya gladly tackles everything she faces head on with the greatest of fortitude, protecting her friends with her own selfless acts and purity of purpose for she is pure in mind, body and spirit.

The Dragons and their minions are still a very real threat, not only to the world at large but also to innocent people. This has led to an increase of refugees drifting in from distant lands that she has helped set up communal lodgings and defenses.

Aurya has honed her fighting skills and sought to expand her knowledge beyond Ventari's basic teachings to those of Dwayna so that she might better protect and serve all those in need and she does so with the greatest vigor, her resolve unwavering.
