Sorry, meant theory, not reason. There's no official reason why, just fan conjecture.

Can anyone direct me to the source (so i can hear it myself) that says au ra=demon?

So it's May 1st... any chance we're closer to getting those naming conventions yet? I mean you guys are having a contest and everything already.

Would greatly appreciate <3

I have a question: How did you get past the 1000 character limit??

You edit your post.

Well it's not that Au Ra are demons, their aesthetic was simply based on demons (as can be inferred by the ability to make a female look strikingly similar to in-game succubi).

Aura are not related to Dragons. Their motif are demons.

So we're able to visit an Old Sharlayan settlement and there was, what I'm assuming to be, a Knights of the Round reference when they said "Twelve Knights". This is looking to be a very exciting story so far. And all these new areas that havn't been explored yet is making my mapper scenes go on over drive.

Basically it started out Dragon related, then at some point they decided to instead go with a more Demon type approach. And once again still calling demonic dragons, it pleases both.

I'd rather just say they're Au Ra, but then again I'm not out to please any particular camp...
