Astu Aether
A fairly recent city located just below the southern coast, Astu Aether has come from a different realm, yet, not unlike Simul. Their technology is the relatively the same, as well as their welcoming hospitality. It is set up a bit differently than most would think considering the why they had to drop into our realm. Becoming their own sort of 'kingdom', Astu Aether has everything from farm land to multiple market districts. There is no running 'theme' amongst the architecture. When one doesn't know where they will end up, one makes due with the land they have.
​
Wanting to welcome Simulians with open arms, the mages of Astu Aether have installed a rather convenient way of traveling to and from the city hovering above the water to the south. There is a airship dock, but there has also been s massive tree has been planted which holds enough magic to teleport upwards of fifty people at a time to or from the city itself. An identical one sits right near the middle of their great city.

Nivisa
Toward the center the the city, there is a massive school dedicated to magic teachings. Much like the Snow Elves that now reside in Concordia, this school is surrounded in a barrier of cooler weather as most of the elves there are indeed Snow Elves. Even the headmistress, Omylia Arastina is one of the friendliest woman you will meet. You will still find all sorts of teachers and races within, however, as Astu Aether comes from a realm where coexisting was relished. From school grades to academy level teachings, anyone is welcome to attend Nivisa!
Ice Winds
Welcome to Ice Winds! Run by Astu Aether's most innocent elf, Sorisana Daera. Despite her young age and chipper attitude, this woman can drink anyone under the table. All you have to do is challenge her.
​
Besides drinking the days away as if the ale was water, Sori likes to dance around and keep spirits high. Never a frown found in her tavern, Sori can cheer up even the hardest of hearts with a giggle
The Eternal Flame
Fresh out of a different realm, Jendrick brings the oddly made weapons he was taught to make. With decades of experience, he can even imbue certain blades with elemental abilities. Nothing crazy, mind you, but they can definitely add an extra sting!
Harmony Medical
Astu Aether is host to a rather large medical facility. Nearly 50 beds for those who ail, the top doctor does her best to treat each patient with the utmost care. Her name is Harmony, the facility named directly after her. She was the one who funded the entire thing, after all. From primitive to magical healing, any and all are welcome to be seen.
Potions and Lotions
Potions and Lotions has just that. Potions and Lotions and so much more! Edea, the elven owner, has taken great pride in supplying the best of the best when it comes to her concoctions. With the power of prayer, some believe she has been gifted by the gods.

First Story
Mireya has a reputation inside of Astu Aether. One can tell just by looking at her. The story goes: Mireya was blessed by the goddess of moonlight herself with knowledge of the heavens. As a matter of fact, she has written a good portion of the books one will find in her library. She specializes in magical arts, but has amassed thousands of books on all sorts of subjects. You just have to have the patience to look through her collection!
The Swinery
Roman may love his bacon, but that is not the only meat he is packing. From critters such as rabbit and squirrel to larger beasts like cows and buffalo, you can find any cut of meat you can image. Wrapped up tight and either enchanted to stay cool for a couple of days or salted, the meat will last the trip home too!
Embers
Embers is a delectable restaurant located within the magical city of Astu Aether. Owned by Sharri, a young woman who has spent most of her life perfecting her art. From Dwarven cuisine to Demonic Delicacies, she can serve up just about anything in a haste.
