Aether

**Aether** is a realm designed for only gods and deities to live at. To get to the Aether realm one would have to chant a phrase in an ancient tongue but even if mortals would learn that phrase, the very air is charged with divine energy, which is essential for the gods to exist and thrive, but which would be toxic to mortals.

The landscape of the Aether is one of incredible beauty and wonder, with vibrant colors and shapes that defy mortal comprehension. The very air seems to shimmer with a radiance that is beyond mortal sight. In the distance, great temples built to the scale of the gods who inhabit them. Each temple home to a domain that is filled with gods inside of it.

Within these palaces, the gods gather to discuss affairs and other important business. They are surrounded by the very essence of divinity in the Aether, which permeates every aspect of their existence. It is a place of great power and wonder, and one that is forever beyond the reach of mortal beings.

Although we know that the Greater Gods created the other realms, no god knows who created Aether or who created the Greater Gods.

It is unclear if the Dark Gods are still inhabitants of Aether as it is unclear if they were manipulated by **Dream** or if they went willingly. However, the Greater Gods are not inhabitants of the Aether as they are stuck in the realm they have created. The only way for gods to visit them is to travel to that realm and speak to them.
