Instead, it is an endlessly flat plane covered in an unfathomably deep ocean that is seemingly off-limits due to an invisible and impenetrable barrier. Above, small spherical bodies, dubbed "Spheres" for simplicity among the countless races in Aurora, hang forever. Each is varied in size, sometimes being as small as a mountain, or as large as an entire country. Each displays the same level of gravity upon its inhabitants regardless of size. A bright "sun" looms overhead, periodically dimming and brightening to simulate daylight and nighttime. Through use of magic airships, individuals from Spheres can visits others, powered by the dense mana-streams that circulate in the sky. Vera hails from the Drerie Sphere, home of the dragonborn and ruled by its people as a sort of tribal government. The Drerie Sphere has since been obliterated and its pieces fallen into the ocean below.

[b]History:[/b] Vera was born a child of the Iron Keep Clan, one of the many tribes calling its home on the Drerie Sphere in the Auroran Universe. While at an early age she displayed a certain docility compared to her brothers and sisters, her adherence to tradition and driven attitude proved that not even the largest of boys her age could stand against her tenacity. Vera proved herself a worthy addition to the Iron Keep, and soon her renown had attracted the attention of the Sphere on a greater scale. The victor of a smaller gladiatorial tournament, she was invited to participate in a training regiment, the final exam of which involved involvement in the largest arena match of Drerie. Vera accepted the invitation, went through the military training, and came out in third place at the tournament, just behind two of the most powerful Dragonborn already well accustomed to the military. Despite her own feelings of shortcomings, the clans at large still saw her usefulness and granted her a spot on the Drerie Dracon's Canopy as a guard; one of the highest-ranking jobs in Drerie. In the Canopy, she worked as a well-paid but often quite bored individual, as few nations in Aurora were brave enough to attack their Sphere. Instead she served her time fighting off dim-witted bandits and banished Dragonborn wishing to do harm to more remote towns and cities. During her years as a guardian, Vera met and fell in love with another Dragonborn of the Gale Clan, a man by the name of Rorark Ven Innes "Earthtower". As her term as a guardian began to close, the two married and Vera eventually gave birth to several children. Amidst turmoil in the Iron Keep Clan vying for power as the Lord succumbed to old age, Vera and Rorark found solace in awaiting for their family to hatch. But in a flash, their hope for a peaceful life was shattered. The attackers of Drerie came not form outside, from Aurora, but from beyond their reach of time and space. A vast force known as the Angar-Ryllans steamrolled across the Sphere with a superior force, held at bay for a few days towards the end of the short war only by the ferocity of the Dragonborn. Apparently they had arrived en masse through an inter-dimensional portal of sorts, right on the very surface of their home. With no hope left to spare and their numbers dwindling, the rest of Aurora took action, but not a way favorable to Vera, or the Dragonborn for that matter. As the war raged, Vera took her brood to a nearby Sphere for safety, a place called Wulpat, and home to Aurora's largest population of dwarves. Rumors spread of the Bulwark Sphere readying to take action with its most powerful tool; the Deep Cannon. Word of the Angar-Ryllans wishing to invade Wulpat too forced the nation to completely prevent any transit of air vehicles to or from the Sphere, and so Vera was left stranded. She could only wait, and watch, as her Sphere burned for several days until the fire was extinguished in a single, bright flash. Drerie was vanquished, subject to the power of the Bulwark Sphere's superior technology. The power of the Deep Cannon was so great that even the Angar-Ryllan's portal was warped, turned into a lingering maelstrom that tears apart everything that approaches. The remains of Drerie fell upon Wulpat from above, and the meteoric storm that ensued destroyed much of the hemisphere she had taken refuge upon. In the fiery chaos, all but one of her children were left alive, which she took with her into the company of the fae of Wulpat. Trusting in the peaceful nature of the fae, she entrusted her child to their care for the time being. She would find a way to take revenge upon the Angar-Ryllans... [i]and[/i] the Bulwark Sphere.
