Aurora was called many things in the universe among the races that knew it.
Second only to the Starborn when it came to technological advancement.
Possessor of the strongest military presence among lower-tier realms, largely because they were almost invisible in low-tier supernatural conflicts.
While these descriptions sounded like praise, they also revealed the true reputation the Aurora Realm held in the wider universe.
Though Aurora had long surpassed the level of a low-tier civilization and entered the higher ranges of mid-tier races, among true powers it was still not considered complete. This could not be helped. Its foundation was lacking. Even so, it was already impressive that Aurora had achieved so much in less than four hundred years.
However, that same brilliance also made Aurora a thorn in the side of other civilizations. Of course, the ones bold enough to resent it were those of similar strength, most of whom were already enemies of Aurora.
