Eon’s Estate — Nestled deep within the heart of Evermyst Grove, Eon’s Estate stands as a sanctuary amid the wild, a place untouched by the dangers that prowl beyond its borders. Enshrouded in a powerful magical barrier, the estate is shielded from harm; its wards woven tightly into the grove’s natural aether, making it nearly invisible to those not welcomed within. || “Eon’s Estate” by malsikay@VGen

Vaelaris Lake — A shimmering expanse of aether-infused water, Vaelaris Lake is as breathtaking as it is perilous. Said to amplify one’s magical power tenfold upon contact, the lake has long been revered as a sacred site among mages and scholars alike. But its blessing comes at a cost. The concentrated aether within its depths is far too volatile for mortal bodies to endure for long. Aether poisoning often afflicts those who dare to bathe in the lake’s waters, as the overwhelming surge of raw aether floods the body. This sudden infusion can disrupt natural magical pathways, leading to dangerous blockages, surges, or even permanent damage to one’s aetheric flow if not corrected timely. || “Vaelaris Lake” by malsikay@VGen

Stonehaven — A formidable and ancient city carved into the highlands of Aetherealm, Stonehaven stands as a bastion of strength and order. Surrounded by towering ramparts and steeped in tradition, it is divided into five distinct districts, each with its own purpose. Gildreach, a district of gleaming estates and private courtyards, is home to the realm’s elite. Highmarque, the Palace District, houses the regal courts and the seat of the Keeper’s power. Merchant’s Hollow bustles with life, filled with trade stalls, artisan shops, and lively inns. Stonemere, the heart of the city’s populace, offers quiet refuge for its many residents. And at its edge lies Ironmarch, the city’s fortified guard’s quarters, where Stonehaven’s defenders train and remain ever vigilant. Together, these districts form a city both refined and resilient; a stronghold against the shadows that stir beyond its walls. || “Stonehaven” by AnniethDesign@VGen

Moonvael Library — Hidden within the heart of the luminous city of Moonvael stands a towering library, its spires etched with ancient runes. Within its vaulted halls lie countless tomes, scrolls, and manuscripts chronicling the vast and intricate history of Aetherealm; from elemental theory to lost incantations. Among its many wings is a restricted section, sealed behind arcane wards and accessible only to a select, thoroughly vetted few. There, beneath layers of enchantment and silence spells, lie forbidden texts, forgotten prophecies, and knowledge too powerful—or too dangerous—for the common scholar. || “Moonvael Library” by Skevivi@VGen

Mystvael — Perched on the rugged coast of Aetheris, Mystvael is a hauntingly beautiful town shrouded in sorrow and sea spray. Though once a thriving harbor, it now endures the eerie grip of a mysterious magical phenomenon known only as the mist”. The mist drifts in from the sea and sky without warning, swallowing all it touches. Those taken are never seen again—but their voices linger, echoing through the fog in endless pleas for help, forever calling out to loved ones who can no longer answer. || “Mystvael” by malsikay@VGen
