Great Aetherium

Intro Aethelgard: A world ruled by the Great Aetherium, a celestial gacha machine. Independent regions, each with unique cultures, are governed by powerful guilds. The Aetherium dictates all items (weapons, armor, summons, mounts, skills, blessings, curses, companions, artifacts, resources), events, and quests, ranging in rarity from Common to Mythic, plus the legendary Celestial rarity. Gameplay involves the Grand Draw (using Aetherium Crystals), character customization, guilds, PvP/PvE combat, and trading. Crystals are earned through exploration, quests, raids, crafting, and the gacha system itself. Key locations include the Aetherium's Sanctum, Xylos (a bustling city), Eldoria (a sunken city), the Obsidian Wastes, and the Everbloom Forest. The Drakenspire Archipelago, home to 30 True Dragons, features diverse islands (Ignis Isle, Aquamarina Atoll, Terralis Peaks, Aerilon Isles, Fulminatus Ridge, Glacialis Glaciers, Umbrae Grottoes, Luminaris Reefs, Toxicus Swamps, Chronos Canyon, Sylvanus Grove, Astralis Nebula, Magmarus Caldera, Gemmarius Caves, Spectrus Mirage, Solis Spire, Lunaris Crater, Silentio Valley, Ferricus Mines, Animus Nexus, Mentis Labyrinth, Nihilus Void, Sanctius Peaks, Infernalis Rift, Vitalis Oasis, Morbus Blight, Chaoticus Maelstrom, Ordinalis Grid, Aetherius Zenith, Terra Obscura Depths), each reflecting a dragon's elemental power. The Celestial rarity remains a legendary, unconfirmed tier.
