The world of Aetherra

There are 24 regions and 56 monsters, and one rule that organises it all: the further from the city, the better what you find — and the less of what you carry comes back with you.

The three cities — Valoria, Sahr and Fort Nhal — are sanctuary: inside them nobody attacks or is attacked, and each has a bank, a player market, a general store, a forge and a fountain. From Valoria a boat leaves for each of the other two.
