Realm Storyline

[Flailer]

Aetheria is a land whose history is intertwined with the Planes. For centuries, the once peaceful Aetheria was the crossroads of a vast series of planar rifts which brought the occupants of many realms to its shores. Inevitably, these newcomers and the original residents of Aetheria took up arms against one another in a struggle for land, power, and survival. Seven factions occupied the land, sometimes in an uneasy alliance with one another, other times in a state of genocide. The conflict waged on, filling the corners of Aetheria and spilling over into the Planes themselves.

Then, Aetheria entered the Age of the Relics - ancient artifacts were uncovered that seemed to control the powers of the Rifts, causing those who possessed them to gain power and expand their numbers. The battles between the factions only intensified over the Relics until finally, a great cataclysm occurred. And this is where the history books end...

It has been 500 years since the last rift portal has opened. But now, they're opening again, bringing new inhabitants to this scarred realm, to piece together its history and fill the realm once more.

This is how you arrive in Aetheria - thrust upon its soil from whatever realm it was that birthed you. You have a unique bond to the planes and the rifts - a new breed in a land that has long since forgotten your kind. What you make of your special lineage is up to you.
