"The moon does not fight. It attacks no one; it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished."

Alura was a little orphan living in the village of Jafuio Lazaz. She was small for her age due to undernourishment in her developing years, but despite this, she still wanted to prove she was strong enough to make it on her own. In order to prove herself she tried her hand at advanced magic early on in life, which eventually led to the cracking of her horn.
The Elder of Uälakafelth took notice of her reckless but strong show of magic at such a young age. The Elder became Alura's patron and entrusted her into the care of Tåth, who assumed a protective but somewhat distant fatherly role.
Alura completed her elementary studies on her own as she found her peers tedious and unpleasant to interact with. Before she enrolled into the college she crafted a silver horn both to hide her cracked unicorn horn as well as a method to slow the magic leaking from the breakage. She also perfected the disguise of a taller, bustier version of herself so that the other students would take her more seriously.
She met Taj while searching the Dana Futsa Labyrinth for a Cartography tome that was said to contain a constellation map that had been banned by the Elders at the start of the Second Age. Together they go on a quest to find this ancient tome so she can complete her Thesis.
