FAIL
Santa left his town.
Santa is generally depicted as short and stocky and has a beard. Aurelius grows a beard during winter and is short and stocky. Aurelius left 'his town', The Edge, when he was driven out.
This clue passes, because it has a lot of parts to it an fits well, however it is a bit of a stretch to me to think of Aurelius as santa.
Light beacons to signal departure.
The Brecon Beacons are a mountain range in Wales; googling beacon brings up the wikipedia article, which contains this information. Aurelius is part Welsh Mountain horse.
This clue fails, why would I google beacon when that is not directly associated to Aurelius?
Reindeer gone mad.
Reindeer have cloven hooves and 'things' on their heads, suggesting unicorn.
This clue passes, reindeer obviously pointed to unicorns for me.
Always butting heads.
To butt is a synonym for ram. Aurelius has ram horns on his head.
This clue fails, many things, basically all things with horns or antlers, butt heads and to me is more a term for personality of stubbornness. This also felt like another unicorn clue.
Maybe something in water. Locals say is bitter.
"The origins of the word 'chocolate' probably comes from the Classical Nahuatl word xocolātl (meaning 'bitter water')"; Aurelius' coat color is described as chocolate.
This clue fails, ultimately it was well researched and I can make the connection now that it's explained, but most people think of chocolate as sweet, and chocolate just being a descriptive term of his coat is more loosely connected to him and so not something I would have googled to learn this.
Send word on mystery.
Aurelius is described as mysterious.
This clue passes, simple enough.
Stop.
Seven stops were placed within the stealth to signify his age.
This clue fails, this counting requires looking at clues above. A clue should stand alone by itself in its own line.
