Eteru (Aethera, Yītèrú, 奕特如, Yì-Zhōu, 奕洲, Yì, 奕) is the largest continent of Abmarah. It is a deeply magical and mystical land, where the power of magic is woven into every corner of nature. Eteru is more connected to Eqos than it is to Aurial, as trade between them crosses the Terminos Ocean.

To the north is the Scarlet Moorland, an elder forest considered sacred by the older religions that Aeteria tries to eliminate. The elves of Aeteria have occupied much of the northern half of the continent, burning parts of the moorland into a desert. Eteru also contains the Quosi Steppe, a vast grassland that stretches out as far as the eye can see, dotted with herds of wild horses and nomadic tribes inspired both by central-asian and native american cultures. The largest faction in this area is the mongol-inspired Morghül Khaganate. The Xoenni Peninsula in the south is a lush and verdant expanse of land that houses the only true democracy on Abmarah, the Republic of Xi-Di inspired by chinese cultures.

Divided from the forest by the Kun-Xu Range, in the eastern half of the continent are the Alfuin Badlands, a desolate and barren wasteland littered with the ruins of ancient civilizations that were destroyed at the end of the first era. It is home to the Mourning Court, the largest society of Drow in the world. The badlands used to be part of the Underdark, but the surface was destroyed and collapsed on top of them. They also contain the Rotshore, where mushroom and fungal life spreads and contaminates everything it touches.

Currency

While all the different nations mint their own coins with figures and designs, all regions use platinum, gold, silver, and copper coins. While platinum is not used in everyday life, many merchants would readily accept it. While spending ancient coins gained from ruins might be a waste of their value in a collector's eye, gold is gold.
