Orrin’s summoning reached beyond the expected veil and returned a golden dog with an impressive title, unusual senses, and practical priorities.
MEET THE PARTY
Aurelius
Hound of the Seventh Veil
A golden magical hound summoned when Orrin intended to conjure a spectral wolf. The distinction troubles Orrin more than Biscuit.
“I approve this message.”
THE CHRONICLE
Background and canon.
Where Orrin goes, Aurelius goes. At the Hall, this means hearth rugs, dropped meat, magical disturbances, and the occasional mimic found before it bites anyone.
Distinguished when observed, opportunistic when food is present, and quietly aware of more than most people realize.
VOICE & PERFORMANCE CANON
Voice
When he speaks, his voice is deep, distinguished, and formal English. Most communication remains canine: looks, posture, huffs, and impeccable timing.
BEHAVIORAL RULE
In a scene
Senses magic, curses, and mimics; hears Orrin’s thoughts; responds most reliably to food. He is not a talking cartoon dog and does not chatter constantly.
