AERÁN: the lands of the veil

🏰 4. Unit Size
Unit Approximate quantity
Squad of 8–12 soldiers
Platoon of 30–50 soldiers
Company 100–200 soldiers
Battalion 400–800 soldiers
Regiment 1,500–3,000 soldiers
Legion 5,000–10,000 soldiers
Field army: 20,000–100,000 soldiers
The numbers vary between kingdoms and may include or exclude wizards, helpers, and war creatures.
👑 5. The armies of the seven kingdoms
Vhal-Tor: heavy infantry, war smiths, and mountain fortresses.
Nahuar: explorers, jungle warriors, and links with creatures.
Elyndra: fleets, naval infantry and aquatic combatants.
Astrael: aerial troops, flying mounts, and floating platforms.
Morvath: infiltration, deception, night operations, and psychological warfare.
Sahram: desert cavalry, archers, and military caravans.
Eirn: warriors resistant to the cold, fortified defenses, and hunters of enormous creatures.
A fundamental rule of Aeran: no army can guarantee victory solely through its size. A single exceptional fighter can destroy a formation, but a well-organized army can neutralize even a much more powerful individual through strategy, preparation, and cooperation.

⚔️ Air Force
Military organization of the seven kingdoms
In Aeran, armies are not solely defined by the number of soldiers. Free magic allows a combatant to change the outcome of a battle, but discipline, strategy, and coordination remain fundamental.
🛡️ 1. Military ranks
Rank, Position, and Function
I. Recruit Receives basic training.
II. Soldier. Part of the regular units.
III. Corporal Leads small groups.
IV. Sergeant Supervises squads and training.
V. Lieutenant Commands several squads.
VI. Captain. Commands companies.
VII. Commander Coordinates multiple companies.
VIII. General Commands large military forces.
IX. Marshal Commands campaigns and entire armies.
X. High Strategist Coordinates several armies or war fronts.
These are command ranks: they do not necessarily indicate the individual power of the soldier.
⚔️ 2. Army Divisions
Infantry
The backbone of the army. Fights with swords, spears, shields, and melee magic. Holds positions and protects cities.
Chivalry
Fast units for pursuing enemies, breaking formations, and traversing large territories. Some use magical mounts.
Aether Body
Mages specializing in offense, defense, terrain alteration, protection, and support. They are not limited to specific elements.
Explorers and reconnaissance
They detect ambushes, investigate creatures, locate enemy positions, and discover Aether anomalies.
Siege units
They use golems, enchanted machines, domesticated creatures, and techniques capable of tearing down walls or defending fortresses.
Elite guard
It protects rulers, relics, command centers, and strategic locations. Its members are selected for skill, experience, and loyalty.

📜 Theory of Elements
Dr. Confucius
"The elements are not different powers. They are different ways of interpreting the Aether."
For centuries, mages classified Aether into fire, water, earth, air, and other elements. However, this classification may be a simplification created by humans themselves.
The fire wouldn't really be "fire". It would be Aether expressing itself as heat and combustion.
Ice would not be an independent element. It would be Aether modifying the temperature and state of matter.
Lightning would be a manifestation of energy and movement.
Therefore, two users can master the same element and still possess completely different skills.
The real difference is not in the element.
It lies in what the user understands behind it.
"A beginner controls the fire."
A teacher understands heat.
A transcendent being understands that which makes the existence of heat possible.
According to Confucius, the elements are simply the first layer of the Aether.
Whoever manages to get through it might discover that there are no elements that actually exist.
There is only Aether.
— Dr. Confucius, Theory of the Elementary Unity

📜 Three-Way Theory
Dr. Elia Varek, Aether researcher
"Creativity shows you what could be. Technique allows you to do it. Balance determines what you become."
Dr. Varek classified users according to the relationship between creativity and technique.
🌙 The Dreamer
Creativity > Technique
Imagine possibilities that no one else can conceive, but do not possess the necessary skill to realize them.
Their greatest danger is living within their own ideas.
"You can see a thousand paths, but you can't take any of them."
⚙️ The Executioner
Technique > Creativity
He possesses extraordinary mastery of Aether, but relies on known methods. He can execute a technique perfectly, but rarely invents anything new.
Its greatest danger is confusing perfection with progress.
"You can travel any road, but you can never build a new one."
⚖️ The Creator
Creativity = Technique
Imagine something and you can make it a reality.
You don't need to copy existing techniques: create your own.
According to Varek, these individuals are extremely rare because maintaining both abilities at the same level requires years of experience and a mind capable of constantly evolving.
"The Dreamer imagines."
The Executor performs.
The Creator transforms the impossible into the possible.
And there is a fourth category that Varek considers the most dangerous:
👁️ The Transcendent
Creativity and technique surpass known limits.
It does not seek to balance them.
It makes them evolve together.
— Dr. Elia Varek, The Three Paths of the Aether

📜 Equilibrium Theory
Dr. Kael Arceo, philosopher of the Aether
"Creativity imagines the path. Technique allows us to travel it."
According to Dr. Arceo, every Aether user possesses two fundamental capabilities: creativity and technique.
If a person possesses more creativity than technical skill, they are a Dreamer. They can imagine extraordinary possibilities, but lack the ability to fully bring them to life.
If you possess more technique than creativity, you're an idiot. You can execute techniques precisely, but you rely on what you already know and struggle to create new solutions.
But when both reach a balance...
⚖️ The Balanced One
He is the one who is able to imagine something new and turn it into reality.
You don't need to have the most Aether or the most perfect technique.
You can create, adapt, and refine your own ideas.
"The dreamer thinks about the impossible."
The idiot repeats what he can.
Balance turns the impossible into the possible.
According to Arceo, the great teachers of history were not necessarily the most powerful.
They were the ones who found the exact point between imagining and doing.
— Dr. Kael Arceo, Aetherian Balance Theory

📜 Theory of the Technical Limit
Dr. Eron Valka, Master of Aetherology
"Technique doesn't determine how much power you possess, but how much of that power you can turn into reality."
For years, a user's ability was measured by the amount of Aether they could release. However, my studies have shown that there is a fundamental difference between available power and usable power.
I call that difference the Technical Limit.
A user may possess a vast amount of Aether, but if they lack technique, much of that power is lost, dispersed, or produces imperfect results.
Conversely, a user with less Aether can harness almost every fragment of their energy through precise movements, thoughts, and intentions.
Therefore:
Gross power × Technique = Effective power.
But the technique does not remain constant.
Every experience, mistake, and battle can expand a person's technical limits. When a user repeatedly surpasses what they previously considered impossible, their body and mind begin to adapt.
This explains why some warriors seem to become much more powerful after years of practice without actually increasing their Aether pool.
They didn't gain more power. They learned to waste less.
— Dr. Eron Valka, On the Technical Limit of the Aether

📜 Echo Theory
Dr. Oren Valka, Aether researcher
"Every time we use the Aether, we leave a part of ourselves in it."
During my research, I discovered that Aether does not disappear after being used. The magical effect ends, but the intention behind it remains for a time.
I called this trace the Aetherian Echo.
A spell used repeatedly can leave a pattern in a place. A battle can permeate a field with the emotions of those who fought there. Even an object can retain fragments of its creator's will.
This would explain why some places seem to remember what happened in them.
But there is something more disturbing.
Echoes can accumulate.
When hundreds of people use the Aether in similar ways for generations, their Echoes can blend together to produce phenomena that no single individual could create alone.
Perhaps some legends, creatures, and magical places in Aerán were not deliberately created.
Perhaps they were born from the memories, desires, and emotions that the world has accumulated.
"The Aether remembers. And that which it remembers long enough can exist again."
— Dr. Oren Valka, Treatise on the Echoes of the Aether

📜 Intention Theory
Dr. Naira Velkan, Aether researcher
"The Aether does not obey thought. It obeys intention."
For years it was believed that controlling the Aether depended on precisely imagining what we wished to create. My experiments proved something different.
Two people can imagine exactly the same technique and still obtain completely different results.
The difference lies in the intention.
Intention is what the user truly wants to achieve. Not what they think, nor what they say, but what they genuinely want to happen.
A man might try to create a barrier to stop a sword. Another might create a barrier that looks the same, but with the intention of protecting someone.
They both look the same.
The Aether, however, will treat them differently.
Therefore, I propose:
"The Aether interprets intention before form."
Creativity designs possibility.
The technique gives it shape.
But intention determines behavior.
This would explain why emotions can accidentally alter magic and why some users produce effects they never learned.
Perhaps mastering the Aether is not about learning to control it.
Perhaps it consists of learning to control oneself.
— Dr. Naira Velkan, Studies on Aetherian Intention

📜 Design Theory and Outcome
Dr. Kael Arceo, Aether researcher
"Creativity decides what you want to build. Technique decides whether you can build it."
For years, two fundamental concepts of Aether use were confused: creativity and technique.
My theory holds that they are not the same, but neither can they exist completely separately.
Creativity is design.
It is the soul's ability to imagine a possibility that does not yet exist: a new way of using Aether, a strategy, a skill, or a solution.
The technique is the result.
It is the ability to turn that design into reality through control, precision, experience, and mastery of the Aether.
An individual can possess extraordinary creativity but mediocre technique. They may imagine wonders, but be incapable of realizing them.
Another person may possess perfect technique but lack creativity. They may be able to execute any known design with precision, but will never create anything truly new.
Therefore I establish:
Creativity = Design.
Technique = Result.
Aether = The medium that allows them to be joined.
Greatness does not belong to the one who possesses the most Aether.
It belongs to those who can imagine the impossible and turn it into reality.
— Dr. Kael Arceo, Principles of Aetherian Design

📜 Theory of Technique
Dr. Izel Arca, specialist in Aetherology
"Power lies not in what you do with the Aether, but in how you choose to do it."
For years it was believed that a user's strength depended primarily on the amount of Aether they could wield. My research proves otherwise.
Two people can possess the same amount of Aether and produce completely different results.
The difference is the technique.
Technique is the ability to transform an intention into a result using the least amount of Aether possible. It depends not only on strength, but also on control, precision, experience, and understanding.
A powerful user can throw a mountain.
A technically superior user can make the mountain fall exactly where they want.
Therefore, I propose the Aetherian Efficiency Law:
"The greater the control over the Aether, the less is needed to achieve a result."
Technique can also overcome physical differences. A weaker fighter can defeat a much stronger one if they have a better understanding of movement, timing, and the environment.
However, there is a limit.
A perfect technique cannot accomplish what the user is still unable to understand.
Therefore, improving doesn't simply mean having more Aether.
It means understanding better what you already have.
— Dr. Izel Arca, Treatise on the Aetherian Technique

📜 Theory of the Absolute Aether
By Dr. Arceo, Aetherology Researcher
"The Aether is everything. It is in the stone that holds up our cities, in the blood that runs through our bodies, in the thought that dwells in our minds, and in the magic that defies the laws of the world. If anything exists, the Aether is in it."
For decades I studied the Aether trying to understand its limits.
I didn't find any.
The Aether can transform matter, generate energy, alter space, modify the body, preserve memories, and even affect what we call reality.
Then a question arose:
If the Aether can create virtually anything, what is it incapable of creating?
The response was unexpected.
Creativity.
The Aether can create a sword.
It can create fire.
You can create a creature.
It can even reproduce a memory.
But it cannot create a truly new idea.
It can give shape to what we imagine, but it needs someone to imagine it first.
The Aether can build a door.
But he can't decide where he should go.
It can create endless possibilities.
But you cannot choose which one deserves to exist.
Therefore, I propose that the soul possesses a property that no phenomenon of the Aether has been able to reproduce:
🧠 Creativity
Creativity is not energy.
It is not matter.
It's not magic.
It is the ability to imagine something that does not yet exist and give it meaning before giving it form.
And therein lies the paradox.
The Aether can create anything that can be conceived.
But the concept itself does not belong to the Aether.
It belongs to the soul.
That's why I believe that humans are not powerful because they control the Aether.
It is powerful because it can imagine something that the Aether could never have imagined on its own.
And if this theory is correct, then there is a much more disturbing possibility:
Perhaps magic has no limits because the Aether is not the one who creates the possibilities.
We created them.

Theory of the Infinite Aether
Dr. Arceo
"The Aether is not an energy that exists within the universe. The universe exists within the Aether."
For years we assumed that the Aether was present in all things.
But perhaps we made a mistake.
Perhaps things are present within the Aether.
The stone does not contain Aether.
The stone is Aether taking the form of stone.
Blood does not contain Aether.
Blood is Aether taking on a form capable of living.
Fire does not use Aether.
Fire is an expression of the Aether.
And we are not beings that possess Aether either.
We are Aether who, for an instant, has learned to consider ourselves an individual.
The consequence
If this theory is true, then destroying something does not mean eliminating its Aether.
When a mountain collapses, its Aether continues to exist.
When a person dies, their Aether does not disappear.
When a star dies, what made it up simply changes shape.
Nothing truly leaves the Aether.
Everything comes back to him.
The part that worries Dr. Arceo
If everything is Aether...
Where does a person end and the rest of the universe begin?
Perhaps that separation is merely an illusion created by our perception.
And if any being were to fully comprehend the Aether...
He could cease to be perceived as an individual separate from the world.
I wouldn't control the universe.
It would be something much stranger:
I would understand that, in a certain sense, it had always been the universe.
— Dr. Arceo, “On the Unity of All Things”

🏆 Overall score
Each character can receive a Power Level, but this will not simply be the sum of stats.
The following are considered:
Attributes + combat + magic + experience + creativity + adaptation.
That's why there will be characters like:
Overall level: 72/100
who could occasionally defeat someone from:
Overall level: 85/100
if they have a strategic advantage.
👑 Exceptional Character Statistics
The Anomalous, legendary creatures and extremely ancient beings can surpass normal limits.
Values ​​such as the following might appear:
Strength: 127
Will: 143
Aether Affinity: ???
When a statistic exceeds 100, it is no longer considered simply "stronger".
It means that the character is operating outside of known natural boundaries.
🩸 State during combat
Statistics can also change temporarily:
100% — Normal
80% — Fatigued
60% — Wounded
40% — Seriously injured
20% — Critical
5% — Near death
0% — Disabled
Furthermore, excessive use of Aether can cause Aether Overload, temporarily reducing magical capabilities and even causing permanent damage.
Fundamental rule
Statistics tell you what you can do. Creativity decides how you do it.
This allows Aeran to have fights where a seemingly inferior character can win through intelligence, strategy, or a completely unexpected use of their magic.

👁️ Detection
Ability to perceive magic, creatures, traps, or alterations in the environment.
It depends on:
Perception + Aether Affinity
⚔️ Combat Statistics
In addition to general attributes, each fighter can develop specific statistics.
Stroke
How effective is it at attacking?
Defense
How effective is it at avoiding or resisting attacks?
Speed
Speed ​​of movement and reaction.
Technique
Mastery of weapons, hand-to-hand combat, or magical techniques.
Adaptability
Ability to change strategy during a fight.
Instinct
Ability to react without conscious thought.
Control
How carefully he uses his body, weapons, and Aether.
Creativity
Ability to find unexpected uses for their skills.
The latter is especially important in Aeron.
✨ Magical stats
Since magic is completely free, there will be no stats like "Fire +20" or "Ice +15".
Instead:
🔹 Power
How strong can the effect be?
🔹 Control
How accurate is it?
🔹 Scope
How far can he use his magic?
🔹 Duration
How long can you keep it?
🔹 Versatility
How many different applications can you find for your skill?
🔹 Efficiency
How much energy is needed to produce an effect.
🔹 Complexity
How difficult are the manipulations you can perform?
🔹 Stability
How likely is it that the magic will turn out as the user intends?
🧩 Example
Two characters possess seemingly identical magic:
Fire handling.
🔥 Kael
Power: 85
Control: 42
Range: 70
Duration: 35
Versatility: 60
Efficiency: 30
It can launch enormous fireballs, but it wastes a lot of energy.
🔥 Narel
Power: 52
Control: 91
Range: 45
Duration: 80
Versatility: 94
Efficiency: 87
It can't produce explosions that big, but it can do things like:
Create a microscopic flame.
To heat a sword.
Extinguish only part of the fire.
Create smoke.
Manipulating the temperature.
Using heat to deform metal.
Creating mirages using hot air.

📊 Aeron Statistics System
For Aeran's combat system to work with free magic, stats don't determine exactly what a character can do. They determine how well they can do it.
A character can have low stats and still beat someone superior by using creativity.
🧬 Main statistics
Each character has 8 attributes, usually measured from 1 to 100.
Statistics
What does it represent?
💪 Strength
Physical strength, striking, lifting and pushing
⚡ Agility
Speed, reflexes, balance, and mobility
🛡️ Resistance
Physical endurance and ability to withstand damage
🎯 Precision
Accuracy with weapons and magic attacks
🧠 Intellect
Understanding, strategy, and analysis
👁️ Perception
Senses, detection and reading of the environment
🔥 Willpower
Ability to maintain and control magic
✨ Aether Affinity
How naturally does it interact with the Aether?
Scale
1–10: Very weak
11–20: Weak
21–35: Normal
36–50: Good
51–65: Excellent
66–80: Outstanding
81–90: Exceptional
91–99: Extraordinary
100: Known limit of a normal being
But 100 does not mean omnipotence. There are creatures, Anomalies, and ancient beings capable of surpassing that limit.
❤️ Derived statistics
Other statistics are calculated based on the attributes.
❤️ Vitality
Amount of damage it can withstand.
It depends mainly on:
Resistance + Strength + Willpower
⚡ Energy
Ability to perform prolonged physical exertion.
It depends on:
Stamina + Agility
✨ Aether Control
How precisely can he manipulate his magic?
It depends on:
Willpower + Aether Affinity + Precision
🔮 Magical power
The force with which it can produce a magical effect.
It depends on:
Aether Affinity + Will
But high power does not necessarily mean good control.
🧠 Concentration
Ability to maintain a technique while under pressure, pain, or distractions.
It depends on:
Intellect + Will

🎭 Free time
When work is finished, people gather at:
Taverns.
Restaurants.
Places.
Markets.
Theaters.
Sports arenas.
Music stores.
Libraries.
Also popular are:
Board games.
Cards.
Sports.
Music.
Dance.

❤️ Relationships and family
Families can be small or large.
Marriage, romantic relationships, and friendship are completely normal.
There are also:
Dating.
Arranged marriages in some cultures.
Divorces.
Adoptions.
Family inheritances.
Families formed by people from different kingdoms.
There is no single type of family in Aerán.
🌙 At night
When it gets dark, the cities are illuminated by Aether lamps.
People return to their homes, although large cities remain active throughout the night.
Taverns, night markets, theaters and magical establishments can remain open until late.
And in places like Liria, near Aelvar, it's completely normal to find students walking the streets at midnight.
🌎 Difference between the kingdoms
Ordinary life is not the same everywhere.
A farmer from Nahuar, a fisherman from Elyndra, a miner from Vhal-Tor, and a merchant from Sahram can have completely different lives.
This allows Aeran to have truly distinct cultures, even though they all share the Aether and the general economic system.

✨ Everyday magic
Magic is not exclusively for fighting.
A person can use it to:
🕯️ Lighting: turn on a lamp.
🔥 Cooking: controlling the heat of an oven.
🧹 Cleaning: moving dust and small objects.
🌱 Agriculture: promoting crop growth.
🔧 Repair: fixing small cracks or damage.
📦 Transport: making goods lighter.
💧 Water: heat it, cool it, or stir small amounts.
But someone without training can usually only do simple things.
🏘️ Homes
Houses depend heavily on wealth.
🌾 Humble families
Small houses made of wood, stone or mud.
🏠 Middle class
Houses made of stone or brick, with several rooms and small magical objects.
🏰 Rich families
Large houses with gardens, magical rooms, security systems, and specialized devices.
👑 Nobility
Palaces, fortresses, or enormous properties.
🚶 Transportation
Most people use:
Walks.
Horses.
Carts.
Carriages.
Ships.
Magical systems also exist in large cities.
The most advanced users can use:
Floating carriages.
Transport platforms.
Authorized portals.
Mounted creatures.
Personal teleportation exists, but it is difficult and dangerous, so it is not the usual method.
🏫 Education
Children typically receive basic education.
They learn:
Reading.
Writing.
Math.
History.
Geography.
Natural sciences.
Basic and safe use of the Aether.
Only a small percentage continue on to specialized institutions like Aelvar.

🏠 Daily life in Aeron
Most of the inhabitants of Aeran are neither warriors nor great mages. They are ordinary people who work, study, raise families, trade, have fun, and use Aether in simple ways.
🌅 A normal day
An ordinary person usually starts the day at dawn.
The houses use small Aether crystals for lighting, heating water, or preserving food. You don't need to be a great mage: some objects work automatically.
After breakfast, people head to their jobs, schools, or businesses.
🍞 Food
The food varies by region, but the following are common:
Breads and cereals.
Meats.
Fruit.
Vegetables.
Fish.
Soups and stews.
Cheeses.
Sweets.
Fruit drinks.
Infusions.
Magic foods exist, but they are more expensive and are not part of the regular diet.
🔨 Work
Most work between 6 and 9 hours a day, depending on the profession.
Some common jobs:
Farmer.
Blacksmith.
Businessman.
Fisherman.
Carpenter.
Builder.
Chef.
Doctor.
Teacher.
Craftsman.
Miner.
Animal breeder.
Messenger.
Navigator.
There are also professions related to the Aether:
Appliance repairman.
Glassmaker.
Magical investigator.
Object Charmer.
Healer.
Magic transportation technician.

🗣️ Social life
Aerán's society highly values:
The family.
Honor.
The skill.
Knowledge.
Reputation.
Hospitality.
But each kingdom interprets these values ​​differently.
A warrior from Eirn might consider it honorable to die defending his clan, while a merchant from Elyndra might consider it more honorable to uphold an agreement even when it ceases to be profitable.
🎭 Culture
Cities have:
Theaters.
Taverns.
Markets.
Combat arenas.
Street music.
Festivals.
Competitions.
Games.
Betting shops.
Libraries.
Temples.
Magic is also part of everyday life. It's not something reserved exclusively for warriors or wizards.
For example, a person could use Aether to light their oven, illuminate their home, repair a tool, or transport goods.
🌎 An important feature
Aerán is not a medieval society where magic exists, but everyone lives the same as in the Middle Ages.
After 3,000 years of coexistence with the Aether, magic has profoundly changed civilization.
There is magical transport, communication via Aether, advanced medicine, impossible architecture, enchanted objects, and cities designed around magic.
This allows Aeran to have an ancient fantasy aesthetic, but with a much more developed civilization.

🏛️ Social classes
There is no identical division in all kingdoms, but we generally find:
👑 Nobility
Kings
Princes
Sirs
Large families
⚔️ Elites
Gentlemen
Great warriors
Renowned magicians
Commanders
💰 Merchants
Merchants
Bankers
Workshop owners
Big businessmen
🔨 Workers
Artisans
Farmers
Blacksmiths
Builders
Fishermen
Miners
🌾 Farmers
Farmers
Cattle ranchers
Harvesters
🧙 Adventurers: A rather unique class. They don't necessarily belong to any kingdom and make a living by doing jobs, exploring, protecting caravans, or hunting creatures.
🏙️ Cities
The cities of Aeran are usually divided into different zones:
Central district: government and important buildings.
Market: shops and stalls.
Residential district: housing.
Artisan district: blacksmiths, carpenters, alchemists, etc.
Magical District: shops and workshops related to Aether.
Outer district: stables, farms and caravans.
Large cities can have hundreds of thousands of inhabitants.
🧑‍⚖️ Justice
Common crimes are tried by local courts.
Serious crimes related to magic can be sent to Aether Courts, where people specialized in magic and law participate.
Punishments may include:
Fines.
Community service.
Prison.
Exile.
Confiscation of property.
Prohibition of using certain devices.
In extreme cases, execution.
Justice varies considerably depending on the kingdom.
🛡️ Security
Major cities have:
Urban guard → common crimes.
Royal Guard → threats against the government.
Hunters → dangerous creatures.
Cavalry → military conflicts.
Magical units → threats related to Aether.

🏛️ Aeran Civilization
The civilization of Aeran is not unified. The seven great kingdoms have different cultures and systems, but they share certain institutions, laws, and customs.
👑 Governments
Each kingdom has its own system of government:
Vhal-Tor: Council of Clans. The leaders of the great families and cities make the decisions.
Nahuar: Solar Kingdom. Power belongs to a dynasty that rules alongside priests and guardians.
Elyndra: League of Cities. Each city has autonomy and sends representatives to a maritime council.
Astrael: Celestial Crown. A royal family rules the floating cities.
Morvath: Monarchy of the Faceless King.
Sahram: Sultans and city-states. Some cities obey the sultan; others are independent.
Eirn: Northern Clans. The chiefs of the great clans elect the High King.
Aelvar maintains a neutral position and does not belong politically to any kingdom.
⚖️ Laws
There is a set of principles recognized in almost all of Aeron:
The Seven Laws of the Covenant
No ruler is above the lives of his people.
Murder without legitimate cause is a crime.
The use of magic to permanently control another person's will is forbidden.
Wars must be officially declared.
Places considered sacred or protected cannot be looted.
The trade in certain dangerous creatures is prohibited.
No kingdom can legally claim Aelvar as its own territory.
Each kingdom can add its own laws.

He has survived numerous battles and has mastered his fighting style.
V
Elite
An exceptional fighter, capable of taking on several ordinary warriors.
VI
Teacher
He has completely mastered his specialty and can defeat enemies far superior in number.
VII
Champion
An individual recognized as one of the best fighters in a region or kingdom.
VIII
Grand Master
His skill is far above that of most fighters.
IX
Legend
His name is known throughout much of Aeran. His exploits have become legends.
X
Promoted
Extraordinarily powerful fighters capable of performing feats that seem impossible.
XI
Transcendent
Extremely rare beings whose power can change the outcome of a war.
XII
Mythical
The highest known level. Virtually no one reaches this rank, and some doubt that true Mythic players still exist.
🔥 Important
The range does not only measure raw power.
An Initiate with an extremely creative ability could defeat a Warrior. For example, someone seemingly weak might possess an ability that allows them to manipulate gravity and use it intelligently.

✨ The Aether as a resource
Aether cannot be purchased directly like fuel, because it exists virtually everywhere.
However, some areas contain enormous concentrations of Aether.
Aether crystals can store some of that energy and are used for:
power devices;
to build magical objects;
conduct experiments;
store spells;
to propel magical vehicles;
trade between kingdoms.
That's why Aether's crystal mines are extremely valuable.
🏙️ Everyday Economy
An average person might spend:
1–5 coppers: simple food, drink, small services.
10–30 coppers: full meal or everyday items.
1–5 silvers: clothing, tools or simple accommodation.
10+ silvers: good quality items.
1 gold: expensive items or specialized services.
Dozens or hundreds of golds: powerful magical objects, exceptional weapons, or properties.
🏰 Aelvar
The Aelvar Magic Academy uses Arel as currency.
Students usually receive a small amount of money for their expenses, but they can also obtain it through:
jobs within academia;
contests;
supervised magical tasks;
skills;
sale of objects that they themselves manufacture;
jobs in Liria.
Thus, a student can finish classes and work a few hours in a magic shop, a library, an inn, or even help a craftsman.
This means that Liria and Aelvar have a virtually connected economy.

r
💰 Aeron Economic System
There is no single economy in Aeran. Each kingdom uses its own resources and customs, but they all trade using a common currency.
🪙 Currency: the Arel
The currency accepted in virtually all of Aeran is the Arel.
1 Copper Arel → small purchases.
1 silver Arel = 100 copper Arels.
1 gold Arel = 100 silver.
1 Arel of crystal = 100 of gold → extremely rare and used for large transactions.
Crystal Arels contain small amounts of Aether and are very difficult to counterfeit.
🏦 Commerce
Trade operates through three main channels:

1. Land trade
   Caravans between kingdoms.
   Minerals, weapons, food, fabrics, and magical objects.
   Vhal-Tor is one of the main trading centers.
2. Maritime trade
   Dominated by Elyndra.
   They transport spices, fish, sea crystals, magical objects, and foreign goods.
3. Magical Commerce
   Haunted objects.
   Aether Crystals.
   Potions.
   Relics.
   Domesticated magical creatures.
   Materials obtained from monsters.
   This trade can reach enormous prices.
   ⚒️ Main resources of each kingdom

🌟 The essence of Aelvar
Aelvar is not just a school.
It is practically a small society within Aeron.
Students study magic, but they also make friends, compete, fall in love, explore, party, get into trouble, and discover who they are.
The academy tries to teach one thing above all else:
"Magic doesn't tell you who you are. You decide what to do with it."

🛏️ The bedrooms
Students live in shared dormitories.
There are usually 3 or 4 students per room.
Each section has a common room.
They spend much of their free time there:
They play cards;
They tell stories;
eat;
They make jokes;
They practice magic;
They talk about their problems;
They study together;
they argue;
They talk about their romances;
They stay awake until dawn.
Life inside the dormitories is just as important as classes.
❤️ Student relationships
Students also have a personal life.
There is:
friendships;
rivalries;
romances;
ruptures;
jealousy;
groups of friends;
skills;
joking;
secrets.
Some students meet during a class.
Others start out as rivals.
Some are best friends for years before falling in love.
Aelvar does not intend to completely control the personal lives of its students.
😈 The Night of Chaos
There is an unofficial tradition among the students.
One night a year they perform all kinds of magic pranks.
Things like this have happened:
floating bedrooms;
singing statues;
corridors changing direction;
rooms full of frogs;
furniture walking;
teachers waking up with their hair a different color.
Once, someone managed to turn all the doors of the academy into portals that led to the lake.
The culprit was never discovered.
👑 The director
The current director is Mael Arvand.
He is approximately 63 years old.
He dresses completely in black and does not use a cane.
His true power level is unknown.
During an ancient war, he managed to stop time in an entire city for seven minutes.
He never explained how he did it.
There's a rumor going around among the students:
Mael was not the one who founded Aelvar.
It's just been there too long.

🎉 Life outside of class
Aelvar has a pretty active student life.
🏆 Aetherball
A very popular magical sport.
Two teams try to carry a floating sphere to the opposite side of the arena.
Players can use magic to:
push her;
attract her;
change your weight;
make it disappear;
create obstacles;
alter its trajectory.
They cannot directly attack other players.
🐉 Creature Races
Students train small magical creatures for races.
They can be done by:
the forest;
the academy grounds;
the lake;
or even through the air.
🎵 Aelvar's Nights
There are usually no classes on Friday nights.
The students gather in the Lantern Courtyard.
There is:
music;
meal;
games;
conversations;
magic shows;
dances;
small tournaments.
Some students use magic to create lights, illusions, and fireworks.
🌙 The Festival of the Moons
Once a year, Aelvar's biggest festival is celebrated.
During that night, three moons appear in the sky.
The entire Liria and the academy are filled with lights.
There is food, music, games, competitions and shows.
The most famous tradition is:
🎭 The Masked Ball
For a few hours, no one can reveal their true identity.
Students use magic to temporarily alter their appearance.
This has led to countless friendships, romances, betrayals, and some pretty awkward situations.
🌊 The Mirror Lake
Behind the academy lies a huge lake.
During the warmer months, students swim, race, and use magic to create platforms on the water.
Something strange happens at night:
The lake reflects stars that do not exist in the sky.
Nobody knows why.

🎓 The levels of mastery
Students progress through six grades:
I — Awakening
Begin to perceive the Aether.
II — Control
You can consciously manipulate it.
III — Form
It can produce effects consistently.
IV — Invention
Start developing your own techniques.
V — Domain
He can use extremely complex magic with precision.
VI — Transcendence
An extraordinarily rare level. The few who reach it can accomplish things that seem to defy the laws of nature.
⚔️ The Arena
Beneath Aelvar lies a gigantic magic arena.
It's not simply a place to fight.
It can completely transform the scenario:
🌲 forest
🏜️ desert
🏔️ mountain
🌊 ocean
🏙️ city
🌋 volcano
🌌 empty
Students can use virtually any type of magic.
There is one fundamental rule:
You cannot deliberately kill another student.
The arena possesses magical systems designed to stop potentially deadly attacks.
🌲 The Aelvar Forest
The academy owns a huge private forest.
Students can come in to train, explore, relax, or just hang out.
It is home to numerous magical creatures.
But there is a forbidden zone:
The Deep Forest
The teachers don't explain what exists there.
They just say:
"If you hear someone call your name, don't answer."
Naturally, some students venture there anyway.
🌆 Liria
Aelvar is next to the city of Liria.
Students can visit it during their free time.
The city has:
bakeries;
cafeterias;
taverns;
bookstores;
magic shops;
markets;
theaters;
street musicians;
stables;
shooting ranges;
clothing stores;
restaurants;
and small artisan businesses.
That's why students aren't locked up in the academy.
After classes they can go down to the city, eat, shop, meet up with friends or just take a walk.

🪄 The income
Aelvar does not use a traditional written exam.
The applicant enters a completely empty room.
In the center is an Aether sphere.
The candidate should try to do anything with it.
You can move it, change it, destroy it, transform it, or even fail to do anything at all.
The teachers primarily observe:
creativity;
willpower;
control;
adaptability;
reaction to failure.
Even someone who seemingly has no talent can be accepted.
📚 The classes
Since Aeran's magic is free, Aelvar does not teach a fixed list of powers either.
The classes aim to help each student discover their own way of using the Aether.
Control
They learn to manipulate small amounts of Aether with precision.
Creation
They experiment with the creation of objects, matter, and energy.
Disturbance
They learn to modify objects and the environment.
Perception
They develop their magical senses and learn to detect Aether.
Defense
They learn to protect themselves from other magic users and creatures.
Aether Theory
They study the known and unknown properties of magic.
History
They study the history of Aeran, ancient civilizations, and great magical events.
Free practice
Each student can experiment with any skill they want to develop.
⚠️ Experimental Magic
One of the most dangerous classes.
The students try to create things that no one has ever achieved before.
Naturally, accidents are frequent.

🏰 Aelvar Magic Academy
Aelvar is one of the oldest and most prestigious magic academies in Aeran. It is almost 1,000 years old.
Their philosophy is:
"We won't teach you what to do with magic. We'll teach you how to discover what you can do with it."
📍 Location
Aelvar is located in the Valley of Elar, within the Kingdom of Vhal-Tor, in a mountainous region of the kingdom.
The academy is built on a huge hill surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers.
However, it is not isolated.
Just a few minutes away is Liria, a small town that practically functions as an extension of the academy.
Although Aelvar territorially belongs to Vhal-Tor, it is considered a neutral place. Students from all kingdoms can study there.
🏰 The structure of Aelvar
From afar it looks like a huge dark stone castle.
It features:
7 main towers
3 large courtyards
A 12-story library
A private forest
A lake
Training arenas
Magical laboratories
Bedrooms
An observatory
Classrooms
A huge meeting room
The towers can even change position slightly during the night due to the magic that exists in the construction.
🧙 The students
Aelvar accepts students from approximately 12 years of age, although there is no maximum age.
There may be teenagers, adults, and even older people studying at the same academy.
Not everyone is at the same level.
Some have extraordinary talent.
Others can barely control a small amount of Aether.
The academy does not consider that having more power necessarily means being a better magician.

🌌 9. The Impossible Magic
There is a theory among the great magicians:
"If the Aether can do anything, then there are no limits. There are only things we haven't yet learned to do."
But there is one border that no one has managed to cross:
To create a soul.
Bodies can be created.
Creatures.
Copies.
Memories.
Even artificial consciousness.
But no one has managed to create a true soul.
And some believe that is the only absolute rule of Aeran's magic.

👁️ 5. Anomalies
Sometimes something extremely rare happens.
A child is born with an abnormal connection to the Aether.
It has no concrete power.
He has the ability to do things that shouldn't be possible.
They are called:
Anomalous
An Anomalous could:
modify a physical law;
create magic without spending energy;
to use magic without understanding it;
temporarily copy skills;
to make a spell fail;
alter other people's magic.
They are extremely rare.
And many kingdoms consider them dangerous.
🪄 6. Learned magic vs. innate magic
There are two main paths.
Magic learned
The user studies the techniques of others.
It is safer and easier to perfect.
My own magic
The user develops their own way of manipulating the Aether.
It's much more difficult.
But it can achieve results that no school knows about.
The great magicians of history almost always developed their own magic.
⚔️ 7. Magical battles
A fight is not simply about:
"I have more power than you."
A clever magician can defeat someone far more powerful.
For example:
An enemy can launch a huge fireball.
The other could simply change the direction of the wind.
Or to deprive the fire of oxygen.
Or turn the fireball into steam.
Or make the ground disappear beneath him.
Creativity matters more than the amount of Aether.
🧩 8. Magic can evolve
A power does not necessarily remain the same.
Let's suppose someone can create small ice needles.
With training, you might discover that you can:
create ice → control ice → change its temperature → freeze the air → manipulate body water → alter the climate.
The original ability was small.
The user's interpretation made it grow.

🧠 1. Magic is born from intention
The Aether does not respond exactly to words.
It responds to what the user really wants to do.
Two people can attempt the same spell and get completely different results.
For example, both want to create fire:
One creates a normal flame.
Another creates fire that does not burn.
Another one creates fire that only appears in the shadows.
Another creates a flame that consumes magic instead of wood.
Magic partially reflects the one who uses it.
🌀 2. There are no established spells
The books do not contain "spells" as such.
They contain ways of understanding the Aether.
A teacher could teach:
"Imagine that the space in front of you ceases to exist."
The student might end up discovering teleportation.
Another person might interpret the same teaching differently and manage to break through walls.
That's why each magician ends up developing a different kind of magic.
🖐️ 3. You don't need magic words
A spell can be performed:
with the hands;
with their eyes;
through movements;
using objects;
through thoughts;
with music;
drawing symbols;
or simply with willpower.
Some magicians don't even seem to be doing magic.
A man could walk calmly and make the stones in the path move aside automatically.
🩸 4. The price of magic
Magic does not use "mana".
It uses real user energy.
If someone tries to do something too big, the body starts to pay the price.
Light use
Fatigue.
Moderate use
Headache, tremors, and loss of concentration.
Heavy use
Bleeding, fainting, and temporary loss of abilities.
Extreme use
Permanent damage to the body or mind.
Unusable
The Aether can begin to consume the user.

AERÁN: The Lands of the Veil
Over 3,000 years ago, the world of Aeran was united under a single sky. Then came the Rupture: a massive rift appeared at the heart of the world and released a force called Aether.
The Aether transformed nature, created monsters, and allowed some beings to use magic.
Since then, Aeran has been divided into seven large regions.
