-* Beings of '''''pure aether'''''. Aether brought to solidified life in many forms. [More to be written as well.]
+'''''Aetherians''''' are beings of [[Corruption#Pure Aether Beings|'''''pure aether''''']]. They are painfully curious by nature, often wanting to investigate, adapt, and learn, what's in the bubble of their environment, in order to truly reflect the life they're experiencing around them. This is in due part to the nature of their origins.

A coming-of-age ritual for the dragons opts for a flight test outside the borders of Lyrrh al Stahl which allows for young dragons to prove themselves as part of the adult society. Although one can register at the age of 75, it is incredibly uncommon for tests to be held before 80 - with most dragons preferring to take it between ages 80 and 100.

Each race is unique and treated equally to one another, and depending on your race will dictate what quality of life traits you may possess to get through life on Castrella with ease. Here are some notes to keep in mind when it comes to races.

	'''''~~Hybrids are possible~~'''''~~. Typically there are only half-breeds, such as '~~'~~half-Elvaari/half-Errant~~'' ~~for an example. The~~ ''~~only race that~~ cannot be ~~a hybrid is '''dragons''', as they reproduce asexually~~'''.''~~''' '''Dominant traits''' from each~~ race ~~to pass along to offspring are generally freeform, however, it needs to be noticeable that the offspring is~~ ''~~both~~'' ~~races~~. A half-Elvaari and half-Errant would have pointed ears from an Elvaari as that's one of their major physically-defining traits. A half-Errant and half-Kindred would have Errant ears, and so on. Since most races have their uniqueness and beliefs, please try to ~~'''adhere to each race's defining traits'''~~.		'''''Pure aether beings''''' exist within Castrella and '''''cannot be corrupted''' by chaotic aether.'' Every other race listed ''can'' get corrupted by chaotic aether. Please refer to the [[corruption]] page for more detailed reasons why.

	'''''~~Pure aether beings~~''''' ~~exist within Castrella~~ and '''''cannot be ~~corrupted~~''' ~~by chaotic aether~~.'' ~~Every other~~ race ~~listed~~ ''~~can~~'' ~~get corrupted by chaotic aether~~. ~~Please refer~~ to the ~~[[corruption]] page for more detailed reasons why~~.		Biological children from same-sex couples are completely possible, and follow the same rules as all offspring.

			=== Hybrids ===
			'''''Hybrids''''' are possible, and quite common. Typically there are only '''half-breeds''', such as ''half-Elvaari/half-Errant'' for an example. Three or more races combined in an individual is not possible. The ''only race that cannot be a hybrid is '''dragons''', as they reproduce asexually'''.''''' '''Dominant traits''' from each race to pass along to offspring are generally freeform, however, it needs to be noticeable that the offspring is ''both'' races but not confusing. A half-Elvaari and half-Errant would have pointed ears from an Elvaari as that's one of their major physically-defining traits. A half-Errant and half-Kindred would have Errant ears, and so on. Since most races have their uniqueness and beliefs, please try to '''adhere to each race's defining traits while not making it confusing visually.''' For more animalistic races such as Greater Kindred, a good rule to follow when it comes to hybrids visually would be a 4:1 rule, or 80% physical features from one parent and 20% physical features from the other parent.
