The Continent of Aetherion

Aetherion is a vast continent still bearing the scars of the Shatterwar, a devastating conflict that ended only twenty years ago. Once, kingdoms burned, gods were invoked, and magic was bent too far. Now, the land itself is recovering—forests regrow where battlefields once stood, rivers run clear again, and ancient ley lines are slowly stabilizing. Yet peace is uneasy. Whispers travel faster than caravans: something stirs in the North. A figure long thought legend. A name no one agrees on. A darkness that remembers the war—and may intend to finish it.
