Technology
Geminaea is an Aethyrpunk world, where machines and magic are rarely separate. Most of its technology draws on Aethyr, the force woven through all of creation. Since the Arcane Era, when scholars identified the Aethyrweave and learned to manipulate it with precision, magical technology has advanced quickly, and so have the dangers of misusing it. Today airships, Aethyr-powered defenses and Aethyr-imbued architecture form the backbone of many societies on Aradaea, Vitaea and Ravena.
