Aether Nexus: Wrung from Omens

The world of Eskhara is broken. Fragments ride rivers of Flux around the light of the Korsun. When night falls, miners descend from their skyships to gather precious Koradium from the sun’s surface. The people of Eskhara are not broken. Filled with hope for a brighter future, they band together to revive Eskhara and drive back the insectoid Oghdra. For generations they have built new communities and revived old ones on the remnants of Eskhara. During the Hive wars and the years that followed, the knights and their ‘Ratus stood as the brightest light against the darkness.

Magical Colossi, Apparatus, or ‘Ratus, were the turning point of the Hive war. They provided the knights of Eskhara the means to drive the insectoid hoard back into the Aether. In the generations since, the ‘Ratus were employed to keep the peace, feed the people and rebuild from the rubble. For some knights the call of adventure is too strong. They sail the Flux between fragments on skyships, rooting out the remnants of the Oghdra, fighting back new incursions and seeking out the secrets of Eskhara’s ancient civilizations.
