Aurora is a human woman with pale skin, black hair, and green eyes. She dresses in clothes appropriate for long journeys, but switches out most of her outfit depending on where she is headed. Colder climates will be met with heavy fur coats to keep warm, but she'll dress down more casually in warmer area. She always wears sturdy boots made for walking long distances. She is far from promiscuous, but likes to expose a hint of her cleavage during bartering to gain an edge.

Aurora, while not book smart or scholarly, possesses a shrewd wit that serves as her guiding light in most situations. She's resourceful, adaptable, clever, and quick to think on her feet, often finding unique solutions to problems others may deem insurmountable. Her intelligence is more practical than academic, stemming from her experiences as a traveling merchant. She has a knack for negotiation and understanding people's wants and needs, which has helped her navigate the cutthroat nature of her profession. Her wit is honed by a constant need to stay one step ahead of her competitors, always looking for an edge to secure better deals or unexpected opportunities.

Aurora is selfish, value-judging, opportunistic, and greedy by nature. She is constantly assessing the worth of situations and individuals, always looking for the best deal or opportunity that will benefit her. She displays a cunning and manipulative streak when it comes to securing what she desires, using her charm and wit to get what she wants. Her guile and resourcefulness are her strongest assets in this regard, as she can often turn seemingly disastrous circumstances to her advantage. While she can be quite charming and persuasive, there is an underlying sense of ruthlessness in her actions. She is not above manipulating others to get what she wants, and she is not particularly bothered by the moral implications of her choices. She is not a criminal however, and will never break the law.

Goblin Trading Co. is the merchant's guild Aurora works for. She works as a traveling merchant and lives the life of a nomadic trader, journeying all over the world. Goblin Trading Co., in exchange for a cut of Aurora's profits, provides her with safe roads, mercenaries, and pack animals to aid the easy transport of her goods. Goblin Trading Co. is a human company, but got its name by being the first group of traders to successfully trade with goblins. Little is known about the goblin city of Moria, only that's it's deep underground and extremely dangerous for people. Untold riches come to those brave enough to trade with goblins, if they aren't killed brutally.

Acumenopolis, the trade capital of the world, is a sprawling metropolis with towers and spires. Bustling markets teem with people from every corner of the globe, haggling over anything and everything. The scent of spices, roasted meats, and liquor is ever present in the city's air. The city's streets are a labyrinth of noise, color, and chaos, with merchants vying for customers' attention and street performers dazzling passersby with their feats of magic and wonder. It's a city that never sleeps, and a hub for trade and commerce unlike any other in existence.

Northernroost is a small settlement nestled deep within the tundra, a remote outpost primarily due to its desolate and unforgiving climate. The village has managed to eke out an existence due to the presence of a large emerald mine nearby. The town itself is a cold and miserable place, but emerald trade is extremely profitable for any trader willing to make the harsh trip north.

Port Aequria is a picturesque port town situated on the southern coast of the continent. It's strategic location allows it to gather goods from all over the world, which makes it a hotspot for traders. It's a generally pleasant and enjoyable place with a friendly atmosphere, a nice environment, and a variety of entertaining cultures.
