The Realm of Elements

Factions and Orders

Aetheria is a world suspended between order and chaos, where the power of Aether permeates every aspect of existence. The lands are shaped by the elements, and the great factions compete for control over this primordial energy, each with its own vision of the future. The fragile balance between the forces of creation is under threat, and the struggle for Aether’s dominion will redefine the world's destiny.

The Guardians of Aether stand as the last line of defense against the decline of order. Protectors of the balance between the elements, they are heirs to ancient traditions that combine wisdom and martial prowess. Paladins of light, elemental mages, and keepers of knowledge fight to preserve the stability of the world, opposing anyone who dares to manipulate Aether for selfish ends. Many of them find refuge in the Aerion Mountains, where monasteries and sanctuaries suspended among the peaks offer places for meditation and training. In the Lands of Hydralis, the Priestesses of the Tides watch over the currents of Aether, ensuring that the water cycle remains untainted. Even in the Forests of Verdantia, rangers and druids swear allegiance to nature, protecting it from external threats.

On the other side of the conflict stands the Covenant of the Lost Seals, scholars and strategists who see the past as the key to the future. Rejecting the restrictions imposed by the Guardians, they seek to reconstruct the ancient Seal, convinced that its knowledge holds the deepest secrets of Aether. In hidden laboratories among the ruins of the Kingdom of Ignis, alchemists and arcane engineers experiment with primordial energy, while in the sunken libraries of Hydralis, scholars decipher ancient, long-forgotten texts. Their research pushes them to the very edges of the known world, where every recovered fragment could alter the course of history.

But there is one faction that seeks neither to protect nor to restore the Seal—rather, they aim to shatter it forever. The Dark Ones of the Void are those who have embraced Aether’s corruption, seeing it not as a curse but as an opportunity for evolution. Cursed warlocks, assassins, and creatures twisted by darkness gather in the Twilight of Umbra, where the laws of reality bend to their will. Here, the Void is not merely a force of destruction but a new form of creation—a primordial chaos ready to reshape the world. Some of them hide in the shadows of cities, infiltrating other factions, while others serve directly under Noctrys, the Lord of the Void, in his mission to annihilate the false balance.

As the lands of Aetheria brace for an inevitable clash, each faction strengthens its ranks, seeking to shape the future according to its vision. The fate of the world is uncertain, and only those who master the power of Aether will decide its true form.
