	The names used for each aura are simply the most common ones used in the Empire. For example, the [[#The Worth of Prosperity\|Worth of Prosperity]] is sometimes called ''The Yeoman's Due'' by [[the Marches\|Marcher]] farmers. This is especially true with those auras that are named after paragons and exemplars; all these auras would have had different names before the exceptional individual they are named for was recognised by the Synod. The [[#Hallowing of Good Walder\|Hallowing of Good Walder]] for example was commonly called the ''Hallowing of the Sheriff'' before his recognition as a paragon of Prosperity.

	Study of these auras helped the founders of the Way to create the Path of Prosperity. Some lay persons assume that the [[~~Imperial~~ Synod]] created these auras in some fashion to encourage adherence to orthodoxy, but according to theological scholars the situation is the other way around. The auras came first, then the tenets of the Path of Prosperity.		Study of these auras helped the founders of the Way to create the Path of Prosperity.

	'''Description:''' Pilgrims on the path of Prosperity are encouraged to work with others to achieve shared goals. Cooperating with other people to produce rewards everyone can share is virtuous and should bring a deep sense of ~~fulfillment~~ to all involved. Sometimes the pilgrim may commit themselves to an endeavour that will not benefit them immediately, in the knowledge that the virtuous will reciprocate in the future. This aura can help a pilgrim find the motivation to work hard in such circumstances.		'''Description:''' Pilgrims on the path of Prosperity are encouraged to work with others to achieve shared goals.

Even those who feel despondent that recent actions have not been successful will usually find that the aura reminds them of the victories they have gained. Whatever the case, it also brings an uplifting sense of what can be achieved through hard work.

	'''Commentary:''' The idea that hard work should be its own reward, or that people should be denied their just rewards in the name of some spurious "greater good", deny Prosperity. The Prosperous may choose to share the rewards of their hard work with the deserving, but they should never be coerced into doing so. Altruism - the idea that someone should do something without expectation or reward, or give away their skills or possessions - can be seen as little more than theft.

			==Dedication==
			[[Dedication]] is the ceremony used to link a pilgrim's soul to the virtue. It can also be used to create vivid oracular dreams.

			* ''The next time you sleep you experience a vivid dream concerning the rewards you have been working towards. The dream will often show you toiling and succeeding through hard work. Sometimes the vision will show you something new, a challenge that would appear to offer great rewards if successful, though it may not be something you have considered before. The dream will often include people you know, usually working with you to help you achieve your goals, but in some less pleasant visions you may see strangers taking what you have earned from you.''

It is not possible to use hallow to create an aura on large immobile objects.
