1. Government & Treaties

The Auroran Government is composed of Five houses. House Heraan (whose crest is centered above the rest) is traditionally composed of the religious warrior caste and the most populated house of them all. Twelve blades represent the twelve founders of the Heraan House with a single (greater) blade in the center alluding to divine establishment. The Mundokiir (meaning "father" or "leader/general") of House Heraan is also the established Emperor who leads all houses and people in governance over Aurora (literally meaning "of the Aurorans").

The house emblem to the left of the second row belongs to House Dani and the third most populated house. This House has traditionally belonged to artisans, scholars, and lawmakers, and therefore serves primarily for passing laws and maintaining a universal basis for their divine literature and holy relics. Because the Aurorans do not know a life other than that established through their code of honor, and divine texts, most scholars and lawmakers devote their time to understanding the world outside of Aurora, the laws that govern other nations, and the cohesion for allowing Auroran Honor Codes validity is a world that may not see eye to eye with those traditions.

The house emblem second from the left belongs to House Moash. House Moash is portrayed with inverted wings as its house symbol, and therefore represents both naval and aerial transport both within the Auroran empire and surrounding neighboring continents. It is the second most populated house next to House Heraan. Therefore, they are responsible for both the naval and aerial aspects of the military, but also citizen and merchant transport both within and without the Auroran Empire.

House Tekel is the house emblem adjacent to the House Moash. This house serves to hold any and all engineers. Their works range from civil and infrastructure maintenance, to the developing of new weapons and armors utilized by all houses. It is the second to last least populated house, however, those number bespeak an inverse relationship between the quantity of engineers and the quality of both their individual persons and the genius behind their work.

House Vella is the smallest, and most diverse house of all five houses. House Vella belongs to those citizens of the Auroran Empire who were not born of Auroran ancestry, but rather have a mixed ethnicity. House Vella (meaning "[house] of the other children") was a caste developed after the "purge" when Aurorans sought to eradicate those they thought unworthy of the Auroran name. Because Aurorans value honor, and merit through combat, the now Vellans who fought for their survival during the purge were granted their own house and all rights afforded to Auroran purebreds. They are the only house whose members are not allowed to move between house names, but whose work is still allowed to overlap those of other houses. They also consist of most (if not all) of the foreign diplomats, their mixed ethnicity, Aurorans (superstitiously) believe, allowing them to better communicate and understand the foreigners that share their "strange" blood.

The houses were chosen to rule by "seasonal" rotation. When an emperor would perish in battle or of old age, the house next in line would hold a festival where warriors would perform a "rite of combat" for house ascension. The victor would be named emperor, and their rule would commence. The only exception to this rule would be if the house to ascend were challenged by the Mundokiir of the house to succeed them. If the challenging Mundokiir won, then their house ascends uncontested, and the rotation is reversed to display that "the way of the divine had been reversed".

The Emperor, though having absolute reign over all five houses, is bound by the Auroran code of honor and behooved to reach unanimity with his brothers (the Mundokiir Consulate). In the event unanimity can not be achieved, a majority ruling by the emperor and consulate must be attained. No house, not even the house belonging to the emperor, is ever considered above that of any other house. Most disputes are either judicated through trials of combat, or through arbitration of House Dani judicators. The ultimate sentence is, however left up to the Emperor and the Mundokiir consulate.

To date, the Aurorans hold no treaties with the outside world. They hope in their isolation they will be rid of foreign influence once and for all, and live as their gods and ancestors intended them to.
