Introduction

Greetings all, Welcome to The Aetherrealms! This is the game setting for Ray Etheridge's Fantasy World. More will be added soon, but for now a brief Introduction.

You stand before a Pillar marked on top with a strange Castle that seems to have paths and walls in directions and at all angles. It is unknown who placed it here but it is the oldest monument known to you and any you have met. In the oldest known language it tells the tale the history of the worlds.

This is the Fourth Age, in our Aeon the fragments of the First Age continue their Great Rejoining. Once the Universe was One, Seemless and cojoined. But then at the end of that Aeon the Universe was shattered and the worlds, lands, and realms were torn asunder by Fire and flung into the void. For a while the realms were connected by Earth, which fell apart, leaving a connection by Water, which drained out into the Air, which dissipated into the void, the Aether. But the realms survived, some even thrived anew as as the realms cross each other paths and sometimes even joined together to make new worlds! This is your world now, treasure it, but always be aware that up there among the stars there are many more where long lost brothers and sisters await your return. From the stars you have came and to the stars you must go, for opportunity and dangers lurk behind the skies. Come join us, we will await you in the center of the storm of the Aether.

Signed, your brethern who dwell in the Castle of Stars
