In the farthest reaches of the cosmos, beyond galaxies known to humankind, a cataclysm unfolded. Two ancient celestial forces collided — an explosion not of destruction, but of transformation. From its heart, fragments of raw, living energy crystallized into stones.

These were not ordinary minerals. Each shard pulsed with the essence of cosmic phenomena: gravity storms, solar fire, echoes of time itself. They became known as Etherstones — vessels of power carrying fragments of the universe’s deepest secrets.

But the explosion did more than create. It tore through space, shattering dimensions, sending the Etherstones hurtling across the void. Through rifts unseen, they pierced Earth’s atmosphere like falling stars.

Some embedded deep beneath mountains, others sank to the ocean floor, while more lay hidden in deserts, forests, and cities — silent, waiting to be discovered.

Legends whisper that those who find an Etherstone are forever changed. Each stone bonds with its finder, awakening a unique power — a gift, or a curse, depending on the heart that wields it. For centuries, they remained concealed, mistaken for myths, guarded by shadows of history.

Now, one by one, the Etherstones resurface. Hunters, scholars, and wanderers seek them, driven by greed, hope, or destiny.
