Ætherwood

Gamemaster: Colin

Roughly one year ago, the Ætherwood appeared a mile outside of the town of Tor Hallow. The Ornic Queen's Guard and Magic Experts were sent to figure out where it came from and what it is, but no satisfying conclusions have been made.

More recently, some adventurers have gone within and brought out rare and valuable treasures. And word has gotten around that not only can you make a fortune within the walls, if you can bring out answers, you will be paid handsomely.

Ætherwood is played with an open table format, without a defined player group (similar to Barrowmaze and Porto Pinto and the Dungeon Kingdom).
