Central Tyria
Aurene becomes the world's conduit for magic
With the Elder Dragon cycle ended, Aurene departs to take her place as the conduit for the magical balance of the world, succeeding the fallen Elder Dragons as the anchor that holds Tyria's magic in equilibrium.
Aurene, Glint's scion and the young Elder Dragon of Crystal and Light, had risen through the deaths of Kralkatorrik and Soo-Won to stand as the last of her kind. With Soo-Won slain and the ancient Dragon Cycle broken, the magic that the Elder Dragons once held in check needed a new anchor.
In 1336 AE Aurene departs to take up that role, becoming the conduit for the magical balance of the world. Where the old Elder Dragons steadied Tyria's magic without will or choice, Aurene accepts the burden deliberately — the change that opens the age the Secrets of the Obscure expansion explores.
