Aerther Emeralds are magical gemstones which hold immense Source powers, currently scattered across.

History
The Aether Emeralds were created over 300,000 years in the past by the Colossus of the Night. The exact reason behind their creation is not known and all traces of their origins have been lost alongside the race, most specifically the Kaúvradrovma, who are believed to have been the first entities to use the Emeralds. Once the Echdrarothrayu's homelands were destroyed by, the Aether Emeralds were scattered across Koldenwelt by unknown means. As time passed, mortals began discovering and using the Emeralds for their own goals, attracting the attention of the. Since then, Lympharians have been on an eternal quest to devour all Aether Emeralds in an attempt to empower themselves, even though the Emeralds cannot empower artificial beings such as them.

At the current age, knowledge about the Aether Emeralds is restricted to only, the Lympharians and extremely few individuals who managed to find individuals Emeralds through sheer luck.

Characteristics
Aether Emeralds are small, circular-shaped gemstones with a verdant green colouration. All of them possess some kind of emblem on their interior, presumely Aethereus' insignia. The Emeralds are about 1 centimeter big and seem to be designed to fit in bracelets. The exact material they ar emade of is not known, but they are known to be surprisingly resistant, only being destroyed by major Source powers. Destroying an Aether Emerald causes all living beings in a 500 meter radius to have their life force sucked away, leaving nothing but dead husks behind. Aether Emeralds cannot be used by artificial beings such as golems, the Lympharians being the most known example.

Aether Emeralds can unlock a state of being known as Aether State on individuals with magic potential. To achieve this power, the user must possess a high degree of Source ability and concentration. Upon achieving their Aether State, the user's appearence often changes to become darker and more impressive thanks to the Emeralds' dark Source origins, and their abilities become far stronger, both physical and magical. However, Aether States are temporary and wear out after a few minutes or if the user loses control over their powers. After the Aether State ends, the Emerald becomes unusable until it recharges.
