Thank you to all the friends who have written with me and allowed me to delve deeper into Ryder’s life and his story.

Thank you to all the artists who have given their time and talent to bring this imagination to life.

And a huge thank you to…

kyoupi @ GaiaOnline for creating Lab 305 and the Raevan species.

Rookeries @ GaiaOnline for the original design and artwork of Ryder.

Beerrito @ GaiaOnline for the mushroom banner template used throughout the site.

Gilded hearts @ GaiaOnline (2012) for the original dragon artwork—now called Dovaa.

zandraart @ tumblr for her art used in many of the banners throughout Ryder’s Odyssey.

rejamrejam @ deviantArt for the mirror and opal resources used for “Cast” images as well as the Map of Aetherealm.

AnniethDesign @ VGen for creating the Aetherealm Emblem and many of the items and environments of Aetherealm.

To those who helped me build the World of Magesc; which in some of the best ways can now live on through Aetherealm.

Ryder’s story is constantly evolving, and I’ve revised some of the core lore to make it more accessible to a wider audience now that the original group has closed. Click the banner below to read the story as it was originally written when it first began.

Artists

Check out the many artists I’ve worked with over the years—in no particular order. Each and every one of them is absolutely amazing and their art is showcased all over this website!

Thank you to the many artists that continue to work with me to bring my imagination to life!
