对新伊甸的居民来说，极光是一种常见的宇宙天象。尤其在那些人口稠密的首星上，更是流传着许多关于这种美丽眩目的景象的神话传说。在艾玛帝国，极光通常与古老的宗教故事联系在一起，有人称它为“瑟夫林的旗帜”，暗指传达神之旨意的信使。在阿提拉夺还之战中，艾玛军队将这种极光视为神的降临。对加达里人而言，极光象征着神秘的“烈焰之风”——加达里首星工业时代之前的精灵传说中一支神秘的军队。在寒冷的加达里首星上，极光的出现往往代表着极端天气或动物大迁徙的到来。自“飞艇大战”时代以来，盖伦特首星上的众多政体有着自己的关于极光的传说，但他们知道极光是一种大气现象，是磁场和星际风作用的产物。坐在飞艇上去看极光可是盖伦特首星上的热门旅游项目。米玛塔尔人对极光的感情则比较复杂。有些人相信在“黑暗时代”毁灭了玛塔尔的风暴中出现的极光预示着之后艾玛人的侵略，不过大多数人认为这种想法是对当时的一些只言片语的传说故事的曲解。而至少对布鲁特和赛毕斯托部族来说，对极光的传统看法是它象征着“部族英灵的聚集”。在尤尔节期间，新伊甸中的极光提醒着生活在宇宙中的人民对历史进行缅怀，并成为了许多人与他人之间的联系的象征。

Auroras, or polar lights, are a universal concept and shared experience among the peoples of New Eden. The heavily-populated terrestrial home planets are particularly noted for stories and myths involving these striking, dancing lights in the sky. To the Amarr, the aurora are linked to ancient religious stories and are sometimes known as "Sefrim Banners", alluding to the angelic figures considered messengers from God. A tradition of the appearance of these lights heralding divine approval for the armies of Amarr during the Reclaiming of Athra is well attested. For the Caldari, the polar lights are the enigmatic "Flame Wind", a mysterious force in the animistic mythology of Caldari Prime's pre-industrial era. On the cold Caldari home world, the appearance of the aurora was associated with unusual weather and sudden migrations of animals. The various nations of Gallente Prime had their ancient legends about polar lights but knew the aurora to be an interaction of atmosphere, magnetic fields and stellar winds from the time of the "Airship Wars". Viewing aurora on airship trips to the polar regions of Gallente Prime is a popular tourist activity on the planet. The Minmatar have a somewhat mixed viewpoint on aurora, with some believing that such lights were seen during the storms that wracked Matar during the "Day of Darkness" that heralded the Amarr invasion. However, most think this notion misreads the fragmentary tales of what happened in those times. The traditional view of the polar lights, at least for tribes such as the Brutor and Sebiestor, is that they represent a "standing place gathering" or moot of tribal spirits. At the time of the Yoiul Festival, the aurora lights of the worlds of New Eden are one reminder of the shared history of the people of the cluster and have becomes a symbol to some of their universal connections with one another.
