Aethelgard

D
Diablojay151

Aethelgard is a world woven from the remnants of a shattered moon. Magic bleeds into the land.


Author's Note: Civilizations cling to life in the more stable regions, wary of the wild magic that reshapes the landscape and twists creatures into bizarre forms. The shattered moon, known as the shards of Aethel, hang visibly in the sky, a constant reminder of catacylsm and a source of both wonder and fear. This world is a work in Progress

Arcane Observatory

Arcane Observatory

The Arcane Observatory is a hidden enclave nestled deep within the heart of the Arcanian Forest, its existence shrouded in secrecy for centuries. It stands as a testament to the Arcanian mages' unwavering dedication to preserving their knowledge and understanding of the arcane arts.

Bluff red house

Bluff red house

The Red Bluff House clings precariously to the edge of a sheer cliff overlooking a sulfurous chasm in the Miasmar Mountains. It's not a house of cheerful hearth fires and welcoming lights, but a grim, imposing structure built from the very bones of the mountains – dark, iron-rich stone that weathers to a perpetual rust-red hue, giving the house its name. Legends say it was once a sanctuary for a reclusive order of mystics who sought to understand the strange energies that pulsed through the Miasmar Mountains. They were known as the Obsidian Sages, and they delved deep into the earth's secrets, seeking knowledge and enlightenment. For a time, the house was a beacon of learning, a place where scholars and seekers could find refuge and study the arcane.Now, the Red Bluff House stands abandoned, or so it seems.

Clearwater Garden

Clearwater Garden

The Clearwater Gardens, nestled within the heart of the city, are a breathtaking spectacle of nature's artistry. They aren't manicured and rigidly structured like many city gardens, but rather a vibrant extension of the surrounding Silverwood Glade, carefully cultivated to enhance its natural beauty. Crystal-clear streams meander through the gardens, cascading over moss-covered rocks and feeding pools filled with luminous water lilies.

Crack Coffee House

Crack Coffee House

The Crack Coffee House began, as many great Arcaniac institutions do, with a happy accident. A gnome alchemist named Barnaby Bumblebrew, obsessed with finding the perfect pick-me-up for long nights of arcane research, was experimenting with a blend of rare Aethelgardian coffee beans and a pinch of "Sparkle Dust" – a byproduct of crystallized mana. The result was… potent. It didn't just wake you up; it made you feel focused, energized, and strangely euphoric. Barnaby, initially horrified by the addictive nature of his concoction, quickly realized he had stumbled upon something truly special.

Lucky Strike Tavern

Lucky Strike Tavern

The Lucky Strike Tavern, nestled discreetly amongst the towering trees of Silverwood Glade, is a haven for adventurers, wanderers, and those seeking respite from the forest's enchanting embrace. It's not a grand, imposing structure, but rather a cozy, timber-framed building with a warm, inviting glow spilling from its windows. The scent of roasting meat, spiced ale, and woodsmoke hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the earthy fragrance of the surrounding forest. Inside, the tavern is a riot of mismatched furniture, adorned with trophies from past adventures – a giant spider's leg, a shimmering dragon scale, a curious map etched on bark. Laughter and boisterous chatter fill the common room, where patrons swap tales of daring exploits and close encounters with the Glade's magical creatures. A crackling fireplace dominates one wall, casting dancing shadows that flicker across the room.

Magic Koi Inn

Magic Koi Inn

The inn's name is a nod to the legend of the enchanted koi, a mystical creature said to inhabit the depths of the nearby Whispering River. According to the tale, a young fisherman named Elian stumbled upon a koi fish unlike any other. Its scales shimmered with an otherworldly glow, and its eyes held a wisdom beyond mortal comprehension. Elian, captivated by the koi's beauty and intelligence, decided to spare its life and release it back into the river.

Miss Love Potion Shop

Miss Love Potion Shop

Nestled deep within the Silverwood Glade, where sunlight drizzles through emerald leaves and the air hums with unseen magic, sits Miss Love Potion's shop.A whimsical sign, crafted from woven willow branches, swings gently in the breeze, proclaiming in elegant script: "Miss Love Potion: Where hearts find their way."

Mystical floof

Mystical floof

Mystical Floof wasn't always a potion shop. It began as a small apothecary run by Elara Featherwick, a gnome who arrived in Arcania seeking refuge from a particularly nasty goblin infestation in her homeland. Elara possessed a peculiar talent: she could sense the magical resonance of animal fur, and she quickly discovered that certain combinations of fur, herbs, and Arcane energies could have extraordinary effects. A pinch of phoenix down with moonpetal dew, for instance, could create a potion that mended not only physical wounds, but also emotional scars.

The temple of the Multiverse

The temple of the Multiverse

The Temple of the Multiverse, a structure defying both logic and geometry, juts from the fractured landscape of the Shardlands like a jagged shard of reality itself.The most chilling legend, however, speaks of the Shattered God. This deity, whose name is now lost to time and fear, was said to be the creator of countless universes, but was itself fractured into countless pieces during a cosmic war of unimaginable scale.No one knows for sure who built the Temple of the Multiverse, or when. Legends whisper that it predates even the oldest civilizations of Aethelgard, that it existed before the Shardlands were shattered, a beacon (or perhaps a prison) for something beyond mortal comprehension.
