Ecosystem & Environment

Order of the Starlight (Aether)
  • Geography: The Astral Plateau—a high-altitude tableland surrounded by sheer cliffs, permanently above the cloud line. The sky above was perpetually clear, offering unobstructed views of the stars day and night due to a natural aetheric phenomenon that thinned atmospheric haze.
  • Biodiversity: Lumen-Moths (large, luminous insects whose wing patterns reflected constellations), Thought-Foxes (small, semi-telepathic canids that communicated in emotional impressions), Aether-Blooms (crystalline flowers that absorbed and re-emitted starlight in prismatic patterns).
  • Ecological Practices: Ley-Line Tending—careful management of aetheric flow to prevent over-extraction; Star-Seeding rituals that encouraged growth of aether-adapted flora; periodic Veil-Cleansing ceremonies that purged accumulated psychic residue from heavily used areas.
