| The Aetherstone Islands are a fictional remote island chain northeast of Iceland. One Fall 2024 class expedition reached them after a Suðrey-bound longship went badly off course during a storm and frostveðr attack. A separate Fall 2024 Tween expedition later reached the chain after fleeing Niðaróss by stolen longship and sailing northwest through a storm. | The [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:aetherstone|Aetherstone]] Islands are a fictional remote island chain northeast of Iceland.
