Aeor Crash Site

Aeor Crash Site

Amid the frozen wastelands of Eiselcross, shrouded by snow and ice, lies the crash site of Aeor, a city of ancient marvels brought low by divine wrath. Once a flying city-state, Aeor now sits entombed beneath the ice, scattered across the hostile landscape of Foren.

In the frozen expanse of Eiselcross, the crash site of Aeor lies as a massive, desolate scar on the land. Once a majestic flying city, Aeor was struck down by the gods during the Calamity and hurled into the icy terrain of Foren. The crash created a colossal crater, stretching nearly three miles wide, now buried beneath centuries of snow and ice.

Jagged ruins of the ancient city protrude from the ice, half-buried and broken, remnants of a civilization known for its magical prowess. Cracks and crevices run through the canyon, evidence of the sheer force with which the city collided with the ground. The cliffs surrounding the crater are steep and treacherous, with chunks of ancient buildings and debris scattered along the edges, some precariously balanced above the canyon below.

The landscape is cold and desolate, a place where snow falls constantly, and the wind howls through the ruins. Despite the destruction, faint hints of Aeor’s magical past remain. Some of the ruins emit a soft, eerie glow beneath the ice, while strange magical anomalies ripple through the area. The terrain is a labyrinth of tunnels, chasms, and buried streets, treacherous for those who seek to explore its depths.

Surrounding the crater, the snow-covered mountains frame the crash site, adding to its isolation. The land seems haunted, not just by the remnants of a fallen city but by the silence that hangs over the area. The sky above is perpetually overcast, casting a gray, foreboding light over the scene.

For centuries, the true fate of Aeor was lost to history, but now, adventurers and scholars brave the cold in search of its buried secrets. Yet, as they delve deeper into the crash site, the landscape itself seems to resist, as though the ancient power of Aeor still lingers, waiting beneath the ice.


Aeorian Hunters

The jagged ruins are not the only dangers lurking in Aeor’s crash site. Twisted monstrosities, the result of ancient arcane experiments, now stalk the frozen wastelands. Crafted by the mages of Aeor to battle gods and fiends, these immortal hunters have roamed the desolate landscape for centuries, their lust for violence growing insatiable. Their brightly colored, mutated forms make them fearsome predators, resistant to magic and relentless in pursuit. Bound by long-lost enchantments, they never turn on one another, but anything else that crosses their path is fair game. Ageless and unstoppable, these creatures haunt Aeor’s ruins, waiting for prey.

Aeorian Absorber

One of the most fearsome among these creatures is the Aeorian Absorber. At first glance, it resembles a great canine or feline stalking across the icy wastes, but as it closes in, its monstrous nature becomes undeniable. The Absorber’s brightly colored flesh shimmers with arcane energy, and a massive, ever-watchful eye embedded in its tail scans for prey.

This creature is a living conduit of magic, capable of drawing arcane energy from spells and releasing it in devastating blasts. In the shadow of Aeor’s ruins, the Absorber roams, hunting any who dare to awaken the magic buried beneath the ice.


Aeorian Nullifier

Lurking deeper within the ruins is the Aeorian Nullifier, a true bane to spellcasters. Its hulking, grotesque form bristles with power designed to unravel magic itself. Gaping mouths, filled with razor-sharp teeth, cover its torso, gnashing endlessly in a maddening cacophony that can drive even the most hardened adventurer to despair.

Any magic cast near the Nullifier is twisted, absorbed, or outright negated by its presence, making it a nightmare for those who rely on arcane or divine power. With every step, it cancels enchantments and crushes defenses, leaving nothing but fear in its wake.


Aeorian Reverser

Among the most chaotic of Aeor’s creations is the Aeorian Reverser. This beast excels in brutal melee combat, tearing into enemies with claws and fangs. Yet, its true horror lies in its ability to twist healing magic, unraveling the spells meant to restore and turning them against those who cast them.

Adventurers who rely on potions or healing spells find themselves helpless as their life-giving magic backfires, fueling the Reverser’s savage assault. In the heart of battle, the Reverser thrives on chaos, warping hope into despair with every strike, a living embodiment of Aeor’s destructive ingenuity.


The frozen ruins of Aeor are a graveyard of ancient power, guarded by the monstrous Aeorian creations. These hunters—Absorbers, Nullifiers, and Reversers—stalk the icy landscape, each a terrifying reflection of the city’s lost brilliance and cruelty. Immortal and unrelenting, they embody the madness of Aeor's final days, twisted by magic and driven by violence. As explorers venture deeper into the ruins, seeking lost knowledge and relics, they face not only the dangers of the environment but also these ageless monstrosities, ever-watchful and ready to strike, remnants of a civilization that sought to defy the gods themselves.
