Kris Tells Veers: Aethera — The World of Six Times

What happens when a world refuses to move forward in a single timeline?

In this episode of Kris Tells Veers, Kristof and Bruce turn their attention to Aethera, a crystal sphere fractured across six overlapping Ages. From the mythic dawn of the Shapers, to the radiant optimism of the Auroran Empire, through divine collapse, heroic defiance, and into the bleak wisdom of the Sixth Age, Aethera exists as layered history made manifest. Travelers don’t arrive where they intend, economies collapse across centuries at once, and destiny competes with sheer dumb luck.

Along the way, voices from across Aethera’s Ages weigh in: scholars, heroes, economists, and survivors of apocalypse, each offering a perspective shaped by their era. At the center of it all lies a haunting truth: Aethera remembers everything, and it refuses to let any of it go.

If you enjoy cosmic lore, layered timelines, and dry commentary on the inevitability of collapse, this dispatch from the Crystal Spheres is for you.
