Aurus

Aurus is a small island off the western coast of Antibor on the edge of the Dragon Sea. This island is a tropical paradise and is the home of the independent kingdom of the same name, ruled by the infamous pirate queen Safiya Daivra. The island has a bustling but small port town where a constant flow of privateers arrive for safe harbor, a drink and a night ashore, and to pay tribute to the Pirate Queen for using her island and sailing in her waters.

The island has been turned into a massive fortress over the last decade, with huge naval cannons and mammoth fortifications spaced periodically across the perimeter of the entire island. Even Aurus Palace, a massive building that dominates the highlands of the central island, is heavily fortified. The palace is surrounded by entrenchments, a moat, and the outer walls are a yard thick and made out of solid rock. Huge battlements lie atop the palace itself and a sizable personal standing army is at the ready 24 hours a day to defend the island.
