Aelrith is an Ascendant Spirit born from the union of Jala and Oras, encompassing all mist, fog, and atmospheric veilings. She embodies the presence of suspended transformation—hovering between visibility and disappearance, memory and forgetting. Revered in [[Urth-Kelai]] her presence is marked by atmospheric distortion and the softening of boundaries, both physical and metaphysical.

Nature and Influence

Aelrith can be seen within the mists themselves. She gathers in hollowed spaces, cloaked ridges, and mist-covered paths, where form becomes uncertain and reflection is possible.

Relationship with Other Elements

Aelrith is born of Jala and Oras and exists at the interstice—where substance becomes vapor.

Realm

Aelrith does not dwell within a fixed realm. Instead, she is said to move constantly through the mist and fog in the liminal space between realms. Certain sites—like Urth-Kelai or mist-thick passes in the Murazkar Range—are believed to brush against this space, enabling temporary communion with Aelrith’s essence.

Osia

Practitioners who attune to Aelrith use breathforms and vapor inscriptions to access nascent spirits of mist and fog. Aelrithia is also used to confuse enemies or render spaces unreadable.

Significance and Worship

Aelrith's cult is the strongest in the Murazkar Range, but holds deep reverence among those who dwell in other mistbound regions.
