Category:Auberean Location

Empyrean is the broad term for the various cultures of beings that once inhabited Auberean.^[1] The term "Empyrean" was coined by the famous explorer Alatar Locke.^[2]^[3] Empyreans are tall, slender, humanoid beings^[3], with normal lifespans of 1000 years.^[1]^[4] They are especially adept with magic.^[3] Although the various cultures of the Empyreans ruled over Auberean for over 30,000 years^[5], it is theorized by Alatar Locke that they are not native to Auberean, and instead came here with a singular purpose which has been lost with the passing of time.^[6]
