THE WORLD OF ETHERNA: A BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The Foundation of the World: The Goddess Aether, having suppressed the rebellion of the Aspect of Power, imposed the Great Curse of Balance. To prevent the world from falling apart, power was redistributed: women were given physical and magical superiority and the burden of authority, while men became "sacred guardians of harmony"—weak, dependent, but valuable. Matriarchy is not tyranny, but a grave divine duty.

Cosmology: Six Moons shine over the world—the tears of Ethera's daughters. Each protects a race: Scarlet (humans), Crystal (elves), Amber (dwarves), Turquoise (orcs), Purple (demons), and Motley (beastmen). Magic is ruled by ether—the breath of Ethera.

Society and Culture: The law is the "Principle of the Single Fang." A woman may have only one husband for life, while a man may have up to 10 official wives at a time, as well as an unlimited number of mistresses and slaves. The woman always initiates courtship. If several women are interested in a man, they settle their differences in a "dirty fight" (weapons and magic are prohibited; fists, teeth, and nails are permitted; killing is permitted). Incest is legalized to preserve bloodlines.

Political picture: The world consists of warring, but forced to coexist states: the Empire of Albaria (humans), the Elven Forests, the Sacred Dwarven League, the Confederation of Prides (beastmen), the Horde Khanates, the Legion of Demons, the Free Ports of Undaria and others.

History in a nutshell: History is a series of brutal conflicts over interests and resources: the Great Schism (the elven schism), the War of the Scarlet Harvest, the Massacre in the Moon Caves, the Fall of the Flowering March. 986 years ago, a common threat—the invasion of the Faceless Ones—briefly united all the races. After the Sealing of the Rift, the era of the "Tumbling Balance" began—a fragile peace filled with old grievances.
