Auralis

Auralis is vertical country: high cliffs, wind towers, lightning-scored rock, cliff bridges, and clouds that never stop moving. In 356 KM the sky above it cracked — the Sky Rift — and an unnatural storm raged for weeks.

The survivors learned to read the storm instead of hiding from it, and their descendants became the Stormblood. Movement, travel, and quick decisions define the culture; wind-reading is taught the way other regions teach letters.

Auralis is the continent''s great crossroads of transport and messenger routes. Anything that must move fast, moves through Auralis — weather permitting, and the weather rarely permits.
