Basic Information
Aurelya is a living planet in the Andromeda Galaxy and the fifth world of the Tharae star system. Its ocean-dominated surface, oxygen-rich atmosphere, stable climate, and system of three moons have allowed diverse life to develop over a long period of time.

A Living Ocean World
Aurelya is slightly larger than Earth, but its surface gravity is somewhat lower. Extensive ocean coverage, an oxygen-rich atmosphere, and a stable energy balance create an environment in which complex life has been able to develop over long periods of time.
Aurelya's climate is stable overall, but not unchanging. Its oceans and cloud systems moderate large variations. The influence of its three moons can be seen in the tides, the stability of the planet's axis, and its long natural rhythms.
Nature and Inhabitants
Much of Aurelya's natural environment is shaped by the sea. Coasts, lagoons, islands, and shallow waters form interwoven habitats. The shoreline is not a sharp boundary between land and water, but a transitional zone where vegetation, light, movement, and life meet.
The inhabitants of the planet are Aurelyans. From a human perspective, some of their features are recognizable, but they are not human and are not a variation of humanity. Their biology and sensory world evolved under Aurelya's own conditions of light, sea, and gravity.
Resonance is one of the fundamental concepts of Aurelya's natural world and life. At this Archive Level, it is treated as an observable relationship and phenomenon, rather than as an explanation of its underlying mechanism.
Elior, Nyxa, and Cael
Aurelya's three moons influence the planet's tides, axial stability, and long-term rhythms. They are also worlds in their own right, each with its own record.

General Appearance
Aurelya is a beautiful world shaped by nature, its violet sky illuminated by Tharae. There is something peaceful and alive in its landscapes—something that gradually begins to feel like home.
Aurelya's daytime sky is violet, and its clouds are silver-gray. Tharae illuminates the world by day, and Thalos can also be seen in the sky. Aurelya's moons—Elior, Nyxa, and Cael—appear at different times according to their orbits.
Nature dominates Aurelya's landscapes. Vegetation is abundant, yet the environment does not seem untouched in the way the word might suggest on Earth. Places used by Aurelyans blend into the landscape: they appear to have grown, or been grown, for their purpose rather than built.
After the first connection, Aurelya no longer appears to Aija merely as a foreign world. Gradually, the place also comes to carry a powerful sense of belonging—a sense of home.
