The World

Aethra is a world where places remember what happened to them. Battlefields stain the seasons, roads replay betrayals, and a burned village may speak through every new hearth built there. Magic is common because memory is everywhere, but using it risks repeating old harm. Kingdoms, guilds, and villages argue over whether the past should be healed, exploited, or left untouched. Heroes travel between troubled regions, solving present crises rooted in history.
