In the creation myth of Aurora, the ring is said to be what remains of the precursor dragons after they scarified parts of themselves to create the Divine Kindred. According to this legend, the Ring of Aurora is the source of all magic in Aurora.
The ring is made up of magical crystals and is infused with a great deal of magical power. From the planet of Aurora, the ring appears in the sky as a glowing band of golden dust circling the equator. While it is faintly visible in day time, it is best viewed at night. The width of the ring and the intensity of the light changes over time. At the winter solstice it tends to be a narrow band shining brightly, before subtly becoming wider and dimmer as the days pass.
