Like all coterminous planes, it underlines the entire universe, but laws of physics within it are different and can therefore be used to certain beneficial ends. Despite every point in the Aether being connected to a correspondent point in the [[material plane]], the distances between those points are much, much shorter, greatly shortening travel times between worlds, which would otherwise take thousands if not millions of years. Civilization in [[the Galaxy]] have used this particular property of the Aether to their advantage since time immemorial, from the [[Titans]] to every modern day star-spanning empire.</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">\u2212</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-deletedline\"><div>'''Worlds of the Aether''' is a planetary romance setting, meaning it uses fantasy devices such as magic and gods to explore realms usually associated with science-fiction, such as aliens, other planets and space travel. In [[the Aether]], you will see ships that look like traditional sea-going vessels take off from the surface and fly through the outer space, protected by magical devices or the innate power of spellcasters on board. Utilizing powerful magic, many races have spread across [[the Galaxy]]. Here you will find the familiar creatures such as [[dwarves]], [[gnomes]] and [[goblins]] along with more exotic aliens. You will encounter an [[Strahdholdt Domains|alliance of worlds ruled by vampires]] fighting a [[Osh'wari Legions|totalitarian cyborg dystopia]]. You will encounter [[Irden Reichs|imperialistic dwarves]] who think they figured out where every race belongs in the universe. You will find ruins of a long-dead [[Deathlords of Xa'tac|undead empire]] whose half-dead gods are threatening to come back once again. In the recesses of [[the Aether]], an otherworldly realm that transcends all of reality and doesn't obey its laws of physics, you will find everything from [[spirits]] of dead aether-sailors, to [[Elder Things|eldritch abominations]], to angels and demons. And you cannot avoid it - the Aether is the only known way to surpass certain pesky laws of physics such as speed of light, allowing the flourishing of galactic civilization.</div></td>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-context\"></td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-context\"></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div>The Aether is filled with a thick, misty substance also called [[aether (substance)|aether]]. It has unique properties, conducing great amounts of energy at little risk and effort. Although it cannot be maintained in its natural state in the material plane, always dissipating into seemingly nothing, accessing the Aether to process aether into a powerful energy source was another staple of galactic technology. Despite its volatility, a few ancient cultures have been known to process aether into a stable form that maintains its cohesiveness in the material plane, known as [[astral diamonds]]. Only [[Titans]], [[akashics]] and [[Yellowstone Progenitors]] are known to be able to produce astral diamonds, with only akashics still extant in the present day, although not sharing their methods. Although newly minted astral diamonds contain unimaginable amounts of energy, most known astral diamonds have already spent all of their energy and remain merely extremely rare and extremely valuable objects sometimes used as a high-end currency for particularly expensive transactions.</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">\u2212</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-deletedline\"><div>''Worlds of the Aether'' is a crazy setting where almost everything is possible and every planet is brimming with possibilities, from elementals, to elves, to demons, to aliens.</div></td>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-context\"></td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-context\"></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div>Although the Aether gives the galactic civilizations many blessings, it is not without dangers. It is also a spiritual plane where many [[spirits]] migrate towards upon death of their mortal bodies. Most spirits are not powerful, virtuous or vile enough to be of any threat to astral travelers, becoming merely specters wandering around with little recollection of their former lives. However, few spirits retain enough malice or magical power to manifest as powerful entities that can ambush and kill unwary travelers. When one's mortal body is slain in the Aether, the spirit remains imprisoned within it, making for a particularly nasty [[afterlife]].

More maritime oriented cultures see it as blue and watery, while more religious individuals, standing right next to the former, will report seeing a white-gold misty substance. Some report purple and green thick clouds or orange-red light. Because it is shaped by belief, a spirit powerful enough (living or dead) may exert their will to extract and isolate small [[pocket dimension]]s within the Aether. Small domains have been reported under command of powerful mages, but the most famous ones are [[divine domains]] shaped by [[gods]] and their worshipers. Within his domain, a god is even more powerful than on the material plane, being virtually omnipotent. </div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div>{{stub}}</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div>[[Category:Planes of existence]]</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div>[[Category:Coterminous planes]]</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div>[[Category:Spiritual planes]]</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n  <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty\">&#160;</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-marker\">+</td>\n  <td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div>[[Category:Afterlife]]</div></td>\n</tr>\n"
