The Map of Aëtheria: Five Kingdoms, Five Atmospheres, One Saga

A tour of the saga's lands—for seasoned travelers

A Map Is Not a Set

When you open the map of Aëtheria, you're not opening an image. You're entering a world.

Each kingdom has its color palette, its soundscape, its characters. Here's what awaits you in each one.

Val-Serein — The Kingdom of Apparent Calm

At the gates of the Saga, Val-Serein is a peaceful village. Stone houses, morning mist, distant bells. But make no mistake: everything begins here.

Soundscape: flutes, trickling water, quiet crowd at the market.

La Forge — The Metallic Heart

Higher up in the mountains, La Forge is the kingdom of iron and fire. This is where weapons are forged—and destinies.

Soundscape: hammers, bellows, deep voices of craftsmen.

La Taverne — The Crossroads of Stories

Not a kingdom in the strict sense, but an essential place. All roads lead there. All characters drink there. This is where lives intersect.

Soundscape: lute music, laughter, dishes clattering, fireplace crackling.

La Forêt des Miroirs — The Kingdom Where You Lose Yourself

La Forêt des Miroirs is not a forest. It's a trial. Those who enter are never the same when they leave.

Soundscape: menacing silence, water drops, echoes of oneself.

Le Sanctuaire du Vide — The Final Kingdom

At the very edge of the map, Le Sanctuaire du Vide awaits pilgrims. Few reach it. Even fewer return.

Soundscape: wind, distant choirs, absolute silence.

The Map Is Interactive

Open it, click on any point. Associated chapters open. Characters reveal themselves. The world breathes.


The map is offered to all travelers, even without a subscription.
