Aeras

Aeras is the fourth Shard of the Create This World saga. It was officially opened on October 18, 2016. This Shard took a new and experimental approach to the collaborative worldbuilding exercise. Rather than having a single unified them across the whole world, for this map it was decided to try two opposing worlds of vastly different technological capabilities.

== Industrial World ==
Most of Aeras is in the midst of an industrial and electrical revolution. Most nations began industrializing in around 200 BCE. Increased demand for metal caused an increase in tunnelling into the earth, and that resulted in the discovery of three major natural fuel sources. There is blackember, a black-coloured rock found in veins beneath the surface, which can be burned as a fuel source much more efficient than wood. Then there is olea, a dark, viscous liquid found underground both at land and sea, which can be burned as fuel in its natural state, but is especially useful if it can be refined. Then there are the deep hearths, spots where one can find a massive amount of heat issuing up from the centre of Aeras itself. Additionally, there have been efforts to utilize wind and water turbines, and some societies have apparently harnessed certain plants into liquid fuel.
In modern times, it is not difficult to see lumbering machines and railways carrying people across the land, strange contraptions that have taken to the skies, and all manner of queer electric doodads.

== Bronze World ==
Somewhere along the line, peoples broke off from one another. Groups fled west from the Bay of Nations and landed on a different continent. While the rest of the world continued to advance in their technology, the people in this place stagnated. They were ringed by wild and savage storms that inhibited travel off the continent. Strange natural phenomena seemed to hinder all attempts to bring any new technology over. So people developed on their own, in their isolated section of Aeras, and their own empires began to rise. For the time being, the technology in this part of the world is stuck in the Bronze Age.
