Old traditions describe Aether as more than magic. It is a force woven through life and creation itself, moving in currents that ancient scholars once learned to touch.
Ancient fragments also preserve the word Aethren, a name or title some scholars associate with the Creator. Whether Aethren and Aether truly share an ancient linguistic root remains one of Talvara’s oldest arguments.
In the Age of Aether it healed, protected, built, transformed, and destroyed. Those who reached too deeply into it discovered that extraordinary power can demand extraordinary cost.
When the Veil was raised, Talvara fell silent. Since the Shattering, the currents have returned — and a scattered few have begun hearing their call again.
The Aether surrounds us. The Aether binds us. The Aether remembers us.
