✨ The Dawn of the Loom & Aethel's Ribbons
Before time had form, Aethel the Weaver spun the Prime Pillar to anchor the realm of Aethelgaard in the wild, northern continent of Kaalas. When Nihil the Devourer unloosed the Void to unravel creation, Aethel shattered her divine form to seal the tear. Her remaining essence bleeds across the sky as Aethel's Ribbons—a radiant celestial aurora that shimmers whenever cosmic magic waxes strong.
