| During the [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:fires-at-the-fjordgate|Battle of Niðaróss]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:mechakirby|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 [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:nidaross|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 [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:aetherstone-islands|Aetherstone Islands]] northeast of Iceland, where small dragons ate the material. One [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:sudrey|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 [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:chad-darrelson|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 [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:aetherstone-islands|Aetherstone Islands]] Atlantean Outpost expedition, [[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. 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 [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:skythor|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.
