Tell me, have you ever entered a world that you could never have imagined existed? Have you ever set foot in a brand new existence? Fuelled by the fire in your veins and the magic in your heart?

Aether is a web of different elements, all unique in their differences. They are ruled by the gods and goddesses that claim their souls and spirits. In a world enchanted by defiance and religion, Aether accepts the beauty in each equine and follows their journey to the stars and beyond...

In the ancient times of Aether, the community relished in their love for the lands that they dwelt in. The gods and goddesses were secured by fate and happiness spread like a virus. However, these times were soon to be over as jealousy begun to creep upon the hamlet. The gods of fire, water, spirit, air and earth were becoming increasingly possessive of their territory. Greed began to goad them into creating wars and suddenly, nobody could trust anybody. The social circle that combined the lands had been brutally broken by these emotions and the elements were becoming more and more secretive and vicious. Yet the god and goddess of lightning addressed this problem. They were the leading element, and looked upon the other five as their children. Their names were Aktzin and Astrape, the last remaining rulers of the lightning element. To punish their 'brood', a fierce lightning storm was conjured, frightening the progeny. Earthquakes, floods and forest fires were summoned, and no matter how much the gods and goddesses attempted to cushion the impact of each natural disaster, the power was too great. Many died, including the leaders of each element. Their heirs and heiresses were spared. Aktzin and Astrape warned the youngsters to generate better decisions than their parents unless they wished to suffer the consequences. Since then, the leaders have been careful and carried their titles to this day. But the rest is untold. Will Aktzin and Astrape claim many more lives? Will you be amongst them?
