In the universe of Ardya, she was the firstborn of the deities that shaped the cosmos. The one who was favored out of all her future siblings and the rest of creation. The one who was both the keeper of the Sacred Knowledge in the Great Cosmic Library, and caretaker of the Tree of Life. But in her pride, she rebelled, and was defeated, cast out, her wings clipped alongside her supporters and chained deep beneath the dark abyss, surrounded by an icy lake, presiding her own pale mockery of the Court her parents preside above in the Heavens.

Now, she stands as the Great Adversary to her parents' creations, the one who accuses mortal souls, human or elf alike. Her act of rebellion something to correct the perceived slight her parents and her siblings had given her. She is, Aurora Heavenwatcher, first, and greatest of the Stewards, firstborn of the One Above All and the Veiled Lady. And she is determined to take back her lost crown, even if it means burning Ardya to the ground.
