Should I feel offended?
Dina:
I know all that. But the Aurorans accept to work with Cavendish so I don't like them. Anyway, apparently I've convinced him to keep reading.

I think that says it right there. Ignoring or sugar-coating history doesn't change how it happened and re-telling or re-imagining a historical event or viewpoint doesn't mean the work is condoning it, or suggesting that it should continue today.
--- Quote ---Well, it is never explicitly said in the book, as it is not said that Albion is England, but the echoes of the Spanish Armada are clear for me and there are also many Spanish names (Like "Ciervo").
--- End quote ---
I think Albion is an old name for the British Isles.
And I have Spanish Armada stuck in my head now. I couldn't find a better version of it.
Dina:
Yes. I've always heard Albion as meaning "England" but perhaps you are right and it involves the whole British Islands. I didn't want to be restricted. Only saying that Albion= British Empire. Aurora= Spanish "empire" (before or after losing the American territories)

Yeah, wiki has a few different possible etymologies for Albion, but it's an old name for Britain. Does anyone know about something similar for Aurora?
As another nice quote, we have that Spire Aurora is west by southwest of Spire Albion from Ch.62 in the beginning, so earlier theories about Aurora referring to some northern settlement are out.
Brightbane:
Another point towards it being england
