The El-Aurians have a reverence for light in all its forms, and their homes are often designed to allow for the travel of sunlight. Spiritual and private rooms are often decorated in candles or small lamps. Their buildings were often built deeply into nature and supported in the tall canyons of El-Auria, so that even the most technically advanced buildings were filled with light and the sounds of nature. | The El-Aurians have a reverence for light in all its forms, and their homes are often designed to allow for the travel of sunlight.

Originating from the Phraatian Empire on El-Auria's eastern mega-continent, the martial art of Tworin grew extremely popular with the rise of Phraatian Orientalism and was eventually exported to other worlds when the El-Aurians achieved spaceflight. It was brought by El-Aurian refugees to Earth where it has become a vibrant sport practiced by El-Aurians and non-El-Aurians alike. Tworin is fought with fought with steel blades similar to the Chokutō of the Japanese Samurai but with a flat end for the rectangular blade, made for hacking and slashing instead of thrusting and piercing. The blades are swung powerfully and widely and the match does not end at a single touch. Unlike many martial arts, Tworin uses the original configuration of the Phraatian blades which were made for war, not sport and have not been modified other than being blunted. | |||
