History Webcomic / Aurora2019

* AlternateCalendar: Detailed on the comic site [[https://comicaurora.com/the-calendar/ here]].
** FictionalHoliday: The calendar includes a list of important holidays that mark the change from one sindahlan (month-analogue) to the next.

* AsYouKnow: During the fight against Doctor Jolon, he prefaces his exposition about Ferin with this.
-->'''Doctor Jolon:''' Let me tell you a story I'm sure you're familiar with.

** HumansAreSpecial: [[spoiler: The reason for this is the Void Dragon's plan. He needed beings that could support his presence in their body, unlike elves, while being able to manipulate the dead Primordials' essence, unlike the Ancients. Humans, being exactly that, were the Dragon's chosen people to liberate him from his prison, as seen in the prologue where he rejoices at the Twins creating the first human while elves and Ancients could be seen already created in the background.]]

* RunningGag: Almost every one of Tess' appearances has featured her punching out a dragon, with the AltText for the accompanying pages joking about how she wins in a fight with a dragon every time. [[spoiler:She's positively delighted when Tynan [[ScaledUp takes the form of a dragon]] and promptly starts whaling on him]].

* ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: Alinua when she's wearing her hood. Less diagetically, Falst, Trusk, and the cave crawlers get this as well.

* ArtShift: The comic takes on a sketchier, simpler style when showing mythological events, like Tynan's original defeat or the formation of the Paladins.
** A different style with scratchy lines and coloring is used in Falst's backstory.

* CoolSword: Vash's sword Kendal (from which the character Kendal got his name) was forged by the smith god Tahraim after Vash defeated the storm god Tynan. It was forged from an ingot and a jewel that Vash had used to replace his right hand and eye, respectively, in the battle against Tynan. The jewel at the hilt glows the same color as Vash's eyes.

* PaintingTheMedium: Most people speak in regular white speech bubbles, but otherworldly beings like gods or the Collector, have speech bubbles in their color scheme. (Even though Vash speaks with a blue bubble, Kendal's speech bubble is an ordinary white.) Several exceptionally powerful entities, including the Void Dragon and Primordial Life, don't use bubbles at all, but rather large block letters.

* {{Telepathy}}: Lady Niluca [[https://comicaurora.com/aurora/1-16-5/ mentally communicates]] with the Junior Archivist from a distance.

''Aurora'' is an ongoing webcomic started in April 2019 written and illustrated by Red of [[WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions Overly Sarcastic Productions]]. It is a [[HighFantasy High]] {{Fantasy}} webcomic that begins when an entity known as the Collector steals the soul of the god Vash and departs with it. However, Vash's body is not ready to die and somehow develops an entirely new consciousness. This unique being, who eventually names himself Kendal, finds aid and friendship in Alinua, an elf who has spent the last ten years living as a hermit and struggling to control her dangerous magic. The two of them set out to rescue Vash's soul, gathering more allies - and more problems - along the way.

* WizardingSchool: The Aseran Academy trains {{ScienceWizard}} s like Erin as well as scholars in other non-magical fields.

* WizardingSchool: The Aseran Academy trains ScienceWizards like Erin as well as scholars in other non-magical fields.

* HalfHumanHybrid: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Each of the three Elder Races can reproduce with the other two, but with the Ancients long gone, this essentially means that humans and elves are the only species that can reproduce with each other. Each of the Younger Races have their own mechanisms of reproduction and cannot interbreed.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Erin is an InsufferableGenius from an academic background, while Alinua is a naturally-gifted self-taught life mage who may be tied to some sort of supernatural entity. When they're discussing technique, things get a little heated.

* ElementalDragon: Dragon eggs absorb elemental energy from the environment while gestating. These energies determine the traits and abilities of the hatched dragon. Examples include the Lightning-influenced "storm drake" Tess fights in Chapter 7 and the Stone-influenced "burrower wyrm" Falst encounters in Chapter 11.
