Book: History of the Auran Empire

The History of the Auran Empire.
The Auran Empire was born many years ago, when a small city-state called Ty decided to do away with their hereditary monarchy and become an elective monarchy instead. The ruler would sit for life, but at his death, the people who chose the next in line. The first to be chosen was Aura Goldclaw, a beautiful and wise human woman. No one knew who she was, but everybody was smitten and impressed by her.

For years, she led Ty with a firm, if not firm hand. They prospered way beyond their neighbors, and soon the neighbors grew jealous. Wars started, and Aura proved to be more than just a politician. For years, Ty won every single war.

50 years later, Ty was fast becoming the capitol of a great kingdom, aptly named after the ruler, Aura. Aura's popularity rivaled that of the gods. This is when he showed her true colors. Aura is in reality a Gold Dragon. But little did it matter to the inhabitants to the Kingdom of Aura. They still loved their fair and just leader, beyond any racial barriers.

Aura thus continued it's expansion, and about 100 years later, the Kingdom of Aura had swallowed up just about every kingdom nearby, becoming the Auran Empire. Since then, it has continued. For nearly 1500 years the Auran Empire has expanded, covering the entire continent. Aura Goldenclaw still rules, living in Ty, the greatest city in the world. Aura Goldenclaw rules with a just but very firm hand. His laws are fair, but harsh, and utter loyalty is demanded. Under the law, all races are equal, except of course for slaves. All free men and women learn to read and write, and the Auran Empire still blossoms, and is a huge beacon of light in an otherwise dark world.
