In the realm of Aetheris, dragons transcend the traditional narrative, serving as living conduits to the Aetherial Realm — a metaphysical tapestry overseen by the god Omnios.
Far from mere creatures, dragons here draw upon the cosmic forces of Harmony and Discord, shaping the material plane with their individual personalities and divine connections to major gods.
The material world echoes the aftermath of a great war that removed the majority of older dragons, including revered elder dragons, leaving a lasting impact on the landscape.
Wyrms, elusive beings intermediate between young and adult dragons, are the only type that commoners might have heard of being sighted, their sporadic manifestations influencing the delicate cosmic equilibrium. Dragonborns are considered demi-dragon and are usually revered within the societies they live within, they’re not common place at all and come with unique attributes.
This is a world where the dichotomy between protection and danger, the absence of a singular elemental alignment, and the intricate interplay between dragons and gods define a unique narrative.
