Aura is a fundamental, physical force that surrounds each and every living creature on Forcastia. It is thought of as a form of life force.
A creature's aura contains information that distinguishes the creature from others. In non-sentient creatures this information is very basic, such as the creature's size, form, age, and behavior. The aura of sentient beings, such as Forcastians, tells much more about the creature, ranging from simple physical observations to deeper details such as the creature's personality, hopes, and dreams. Information kept in an aura is known as an aura signature. An aura signature is heavily encrypted in a method that is not understood. Diviners are the only creatures capable of reading an aura signature.
