Lore

The backstory and description of this entity, written by you or generated by AI.

Aetherium is the largest known city in Aethelgard, a testament to Skyborn ingenuity and perseverance. Built upon a gigantic floating island riddled with aetherium veins, it thrives off its control of the rare resource, which fuels much of the Skyborn technology. The city's politics are notoriously complex, with numerous noble houses vying for power in the Council of Whispers.

The city is protected by a powerful network of wardstones powered by the aetherium itself, and trade flows in and out via specially designed airships. Beneath the gleaming spires and bustling markets, however, lies a deep underbelly of spies, smugglers, and forgotten ruins from before the Sundering.
