| Aetherstone is a magical material tied to Atlantean technology, levitation, the floating shield wall, flying craft, and the fictional Aetherstone Islands northeast of Iceland where some ridable dragons live. This is the canonical term; some older source threads use the noncanonical term Aetherite. | Aetherstone is a magical material tied to Atlantean technology, levitation, the floating shield wall, flying craft, and the fictional [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:aetherstone-islands|Aetherstone Islands]] northeast of Iceland where some ridable dragons live.

| During the Battle of Niðaróss, MechaKirby and Netheril used a device with Aetherstone crystals to project a floating shield wall. The shield wall intercepted boulders, arrows, and hostile magic, then helped reinforce a breach in the northern wall. | During [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:fires-at-the-fjordgate|Fires at the Fjordgate]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:mechakirby|MechaKirby]] and Netheril used a device with Aetherstone crystals to project a floating shield wall.

| Thordak's [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thordaks-floating-bastion|Floating Bastion]] is a small series of Aetherstone-based floating islands deep in the mountains north of Niðaróss. It includes buildings and mostly follows the D&D bastion rules. | Thordak's [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thordaks-floating-bastion|Floating Bastion]] is a small series of Aetherstone-based floating islands deep in the mountains north of [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:nidaross|Niðaróss]].

| Fall 2024 northern expeditions found gravity-defying Aetherstone on the fictional Aetherstone Islands northeast of Iceland, where small dragons ate the material. One Suðrey-bound expedition landed there after being driven off course and observed small dragons eating glowing rocks whose magical essence helped them fly and hover. A separate party collected and studied the stones while following Chad Darrelson's patron vision toward an Atlantean outpost. | [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:the-lost-voyage-to-sudrey|The Lost Voyage to Suðrey]] and [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:the-outpost-beneath-the-aetherstone-tree|The Outpost Beneath the Aetherstone Tree]] found gravity-defying Aetherstone on the fictional [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:aetherstone-islands|Aetherstone Islands]] northeast of Iceland, where small dragons ate the material.

| In the Aetherstone Islands Atlantean Outpost expedition, Netheril Faerdhal used the Orb of Crafting to empower Aetherstone crystals into fully enhanced anti-gravity items. She attached one to a rope so the remaining party members could escape the cave after the rope was cut, and the party then gathered enough wood and Aetherstone to build a levitating longship that Skythor could pull. | In [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:the-outpost-beneath-the-aetherstone-tree|The Outpost Beneath the Aetherstone Tree]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:netheril-faerdhal|Netheril Faerdhal]] used the [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:orb-of-crafting|Orb of Crafting]] to empower Aetherstone crystals into fully enhanced anti-gravity items.
