Realms of Etharis
Etharis is a land of magic, terror, rising nations and crumbling empires

From the ancient Charneault Kingdom, to the bustling port of Morencia, the ambitious and desperate vie for control. From the frigid Valikan Expanse, to the sweltering Castinellan coast, societies mobilize to combat invading armies and mystical forces that threaten civilization itself.

The Etharis Pantheon
Etharis is a Godless and unforgiving world

In ancient times, the many Gods of Etharis guided their people to prosperity and enlightenment. That all changed during the Aetheric War, where the Gods took up arms against a host of cosmic horrors called the Aether Kindred.
