Selerus, a Realmstar sculpted by celestial winds, is a breathtaking tapestry of floating islands and churning mists. The very air vibrates with the raw power of aether, here called "myst." Beneath this mesmerizing spectacle lies a world fractured by the relentless storms that have ravaged it for millennia.
Selerus' largest city is Aesyriat.
Selerus is a realmstar replete with turbulent wind and celestial aether, which Selerene people call myst. Characterized by a land torn asunder via the
influence of rampant storm and wind aether. Its core resides deep within a dangerous, magnetic storm while the lands above float in island continents of varying size. It’s impossible to find a vista on Selerus that lacks a view of the sea of myst or some floating island.
The Aesmir, being the oldest people of the world, were some of the first to develop myst sailing technology. And were likewise some of the first sky pirates and mystraiders. Selerai connection to their vessels is more poignant than a simple sailor to their waterborne ships– As it is nearly impossible to survive on the broken lands of Selerus and subsist with farming when the lands are always shifting or falling into the sea of myst.
A World on the Move.
Selerus is a dynamic world, constantly in flux. Trade routes of yesterday may need to be charted all over again because the storm shifted or broke another landmass. The islands, pulled by the whims of the celestial winds and the magnetic pull of the Maelstrom, are constantly on the move. This nomadic existence fosters a unique culture among the Selerene. They are a people who value adaptability and resourcefulness, always ready to pick up and move their homes to a new location if need be. Their mastery of myst sailing allows them to navigate this ever-shifting landscape, creating a vibrant trade network that connects the disparate islands of Selerus.
A Realm of Wonders.
Despite the constant threat of storms and the ever-present danger of falling from the sky, Selerus is a world brimming with wonders. Bioluminescent flora illuminate the undersides of some islands, creating a breathtaking spectacle at night. Rare and exotic creatures, adapted to the unique conditions of the Realmstar, soar through the skies or dwell within the swirling myst. Ancient ruins, remnants of attempts to settle the islands, whisper forgotten stories, waiting for those brave enough to decipher their secrets.
Whispers of the Maelstrom.
Within Selerus lies the source of its turbulent nature – a colossal magnetic storm known as the Maelstrom. This swirling vortex of raw aetheric power is both awe-inspiring and terrifying. The Maelstrom constantly churns, spewing forth violent storms and distorting the very fabric of reality around it. It serves as a constant reminder of the destructive power that birthed this fragmented world. Yet, for some, the Maelstrom holds a strange allure. Daring adventurers and scholars venture close to its edges, seeking to unravel its mysteries and harness its unimaginable power.
