The Aether Twins

Greatest Collection of Artificers in the World

Aetherlands, and specifically the Twins, house the largest collective of Artificers across Oxdara, revolutionising the science being exported from Aetherland. Whilst much of Erendoc is more advanced than Rularia or Venka, the vast majority of that advancement came from the Artificers of Aetherland. Some of the technologies developed here include, usage of the Miloran Crystals in levitation technology, which in turn created the Airships developed by Gatoro Enterprises, the Lightboxes , and many, many more technological marvels.
The advancement and scientific development of the Twins was one of the largest points of contention when the 'Freedom of Information and Innovation' agreement was proposed by the Rularian Council; it was only after Rularia funnelled it's technological development into Polantia to create idea's that the Aetherlandians would deep worthy, that the agreement was signed.

Points of interest

Ruin's of the Vaults

Adorning the tops of the cliff, built inside the Aether Clump, are large stone boxes, that once held the greatest weapons created during the Dark Star Rebellion War. Around 184 BDR the Vaults began to crumble, the power inside them fading, as, unbeknownst to the public, the pocket dimensions each artefact was stored in were closed by the heroes Queen Mia'rora Erleth and the late Adam Astriell. After the sealing of the Vaults the magic that they were absorbing from around the area began returning, causing the once thought dead large Miloran Crystal under the Laboratory to begin healing, restoring its purpose to make the Laboratory float above the city.

Architecture

The entire city is built into the cliffsides around the mouth of the Aether Bay, with multiple levels of building scaling upwards. Elevators powered by Miloran Crystals ferry people up and down the city, with bridges and gondola being higher up in the city to provide access across the water. The buildings are covered in Bio-Engineered vegetation to produce fruits and berries across the city, causing the cliff faces to be a vibrant green from a distance.
Along the base of the cliff, facing outwards into the Erendoc Expanse, are the docks of the city. With wooden platforms and jetties extending far northwards and southwards, bringing in the trade and exports of the Twins.

Geography

The Aether Twins sit at the mouth of Aether Bay, with large cliffs providing a defence to the bay itself, as well as being the main structure the city is built into.
