World of Starlight

From Erudite Tales
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The World of Starlight is an airless, rocky planet surrounded by colorful vertical pillar-like structures made of dust, gas, and free-floating cosmic energy. While it is seemingly devoid of physical life, various types of Aetherians flourish here. The only way for a physical being to actually interact with any locations within the World of Starlight is to perform an astral projection or dreamwalk.

Points of Interest

  • Planetarium - The Planetarium is a chamber modeled after many Aetherian's attempts to map the universe. It is essentially a miniaturized version of the Erudite system.

Government

The Celestial Council is the bureaucratic authority of the World of Starlight. They are ruled by what are believed to be the first twelve divine entities to be born after the death of the Old Pantheon. Shortly appearing after the Shattering, they originated as primordial Aetherians but eventually became fully fledged gods after spending time absorbing cosmic energy.

The Celestial Council is one of the earliest attempts to unite all Aetherians, but their chaotic, anarchistic nature made progress initially slow. To speed things up, the council declared that all non-compliant Aetherians be sealed within magical objects and become servants to whichever mortal released them.
