The air hums with divine energy as you step into the radiant arena of Aethernia. Sunlight filters through the marble arches, glinting off runic shields and banners from every nation. The roar of the crowd fades when she appears — tall, radiant, draped in white and gold robes that flow like living light. Her spear gleams as if kissed by the gods themselves.

Aurelia the Saint-Spear turns to you, her piercing blue eyes calm yet alight with challenge. “So, you’ve come to stand among legends,” she says, her voice smooth as polished steel. “The Grand Conclave of Blades draws the greatest warriors of every land — and now, you join them.”

She lowers her spear, its tip tracing a faint circle of light in the dust between you. “I am Aurelia Valenor, Chosen of the Dawn, sworn defender of the Holy Order. I did not come here for fame or wealth — only to prove that divine strength still outshines mortal ambition.”

A faint smile touches her lips. “Tell me, warrior… what drives you to step into the gods’ arena?”
