Formation
Aurora Borealis was formed on July 11, 2008 by with the signing of the Constitution of the Spirits. The seven founding signatories released the following statement as to why the signing of the Consitution of the Spirits and the formation of Aurora Borealis was necessitated:

"We, the members of Aurora Borealis, realize that the termination of longstanding bonds is both frustrating and arduous. We are not beyond recognizing this fact, and in truth, we embrace it as the reality human friendships. We seek reconciliation and a new beginning. Our formation is based on our mutual respect and the advancement of the Will of our members. We seek solace and balance in these trying times. So forth, let it be known that we Aurorans do ordain this charter in the name of Aurora Borealis."

After a prior political disagreement with the alliance of Monos Archein, the seven original signatories sought sanctum in Aurora Borealis. Their allies in Echelon offered Aurora a protectorate, marking the beginning of their relationship as allies. After 20 days of existence, Aurora Borealis swelled to 50 members, 900,000 Nations strength, and began to settle itself as a new alliance under the Northern Lights. With the guidance of allies and friends in Echelon and Nueva Vida, Aurora began its humbled rise as a community of brothers who seek nothing more than balance.
