Map of Aetheris and the Known World

Sprawled across aged parchment, the map unfurls like an ancient tapestry of discovery and myth. Faint constellations are etched into the corners, guiding travelers as they once guided Lena Grey on her fabled voyage.

At the heart of the chart lies Aetheris, the legendary island shrouded in mist and forgotten by time. Its jagged coastline curls like a sleeping dragon, ringed by treacherous reefs and glowing tidepools. The Temple of the First Light crowns its central peak — a towering spire that pierces the clouds, surrounded by lush jungles and silver waterfalls cascading into hidden coves. Crumbling ruins and labyrinthine caves hint at civilizations long vanished beneath the canopy.

To the west, across the Veilreach Sea, stretch the Silver Coast, a bustling expanse of archipelagos and trading ports where Lena first set sail. Dotted with merchant cities, forgotten shipwrecks, and floating markets, it hums with life and lore.

Southward lies the Obsidian Expanse, a vast stretch of dark, glassy ocean, rumored to conceal islands that drift in and out of existence. Whirlpools and shimmering mirages are marked cautiously in faded ink.

To the east winds the Azure Archipelago, a scattered chain of jewel-like islands, each with distinct cultures, dialects, and secrets. Coral atolls, volcanic isles, and crystalline lagoons fill this region, marked by dotted sailing routes and ancient star charts.

Far north, in the misty reaches of The Everdawn, snow-capped mountains and ice fields dominate. Strange lights flicker across the skies here, and forgotten fortresses loom atop icy cliffs — relics of empires lost to history.

Woven through the entire map are intricate star lines — ancient navigational paths believed to align with celestial constellations. Sailors whisper that following these lines awakens dormant energies and reveals hidden lands.

Tiny flourishes embellish the margins: sea serpents coiled in the deep, wind roses with gilded edges, and cryptic notes scribbled in an unknown hand — perhaps the work of Lena Grey herself.

This map is not just a record of geography — it is an invitation. A guide to wonders unseen and adventures yet untold.

For those with courage and curiosity, the journey never truly ends.
