The Netheraán

The Netheraán rule over the lost nether regions to the edge of the expanse into the nether. The capital world of the Netheraán is Druidia. It is ruled over by a mysterious figurehead known as “the exalted”, and is the least traversed sector of the universe. The Netheraán are typically elvish, fey creatures, tieflings, genasi and elemental – with very few humans, dwarves, halflings or gnomes this is the most exotic and bewildering of places.

The Netheraán are generally peaceful, but not collaborative, and keep themselves to themselves. They find it tiresome to intervene and get involved in the universes wider affairs, and as such remain neutral in most conflicts. Historically, the Netheraán have fought alongside ancient alliances that predate any of the current powers in eradicating the ancient Terran Empire.

Leader of the Netheraán

THE EXALTED

The Exalted, perhaps one of the most mysterious of all the universe, the ruler of the Netheraán seems to take many forms, and as such no one knows what their true appearance is.

They control that which belongs to the nether, and all beyond it. Their realms are beyond normal comprehension, and most who venture to the Netheraán, do not return because “they see reason”. The Netheraán ascend above the universes ‘petty conflicts’ in order to strike balance with the universe.

They are the keepers of magic, and the nether from whence it came. The nether creates a flux of magic that to the normal human, would melt their very essence within minutes. The Exalted is said to have tamed this bestial magic, and now harnesses it to build world gates between the ley lines that connect the planets of the universe.

The Exalted has been known to in the past to stick rigorously to the laws of balance, a form of understanding that would leader them to ignore suffering in places where there is also prosperity. This has lead to many debates in the Free Republics as to whether they should intervene, or allow their peoples to take the course that has been decided for them.

Territories

The Netheraán are extremely magical by nature due to their proximity to the Heart of the Nether – they have abilities that are far beyond comprehension, and tend to remain neutral and unaggressive, but will defend their territories if threatened. There is an urban legend that they harbor and Anduwin, who has taught them many things that has enhanced their grasp on magic.

DRUIDIA

The capital world of the Netheraán, it is protected by a translucent shield called “the shimmer”. In envelops all inside of it, and the planet of Druidia has not be visited by anyone outside of the Netheraán people.

THE DANTÉ SYSTEM

The Danté System is a far stretch from the rest of the Netheraán, and indeed the rest of the known universe. Stuck in a strange limbo state due to its proximity to the heart of the nether, it is impossible “For anything life changing” to happen here. As such, no one can die here, nor can they have an realization that makes them a better person. The fabric of this condition is very brittle, and it has been known for someones head to implode instead of realize they know the answer to life. Likewise, it has also been reported that people have been thrown into the nether or teleported to the Nether worlds with no hope of return for breaking this fabric.

NETHER WORLDS

The Nether worlds are deep within the nether, which is bordered by the void. These planets are such in flux that they cannot be inhabited. The nether was sent into chaos and oblivion during an event in the closing days of the “Great war”. The nether worlds used to make up the Terran Empire.
