|Nature and influence=Aelrith does not take form in the traditional sense. She is not seen, but sensed—a shifting awareness at the edges of perception. Her nature lies in dissolution and concealment, shaping how travelers experience space, memory, and identity.

|Osia=Aelrithia is the [[Osia]] through which Aelrith’s influence flows, where sound and self dissolve into layered mistforms. It is neither harmonic nor dissonant, but continuously drifting. Aelrithia is invoked in rituals of threshold unbinding, memory release, and identity veiling.

|Significance and worship=Aelrith is not widely worshiped in formal temple cults, but holds deep reverence among those who dwell in mistbound regions.
|Philosophical interpretations=Philosophers describe Aelrith as a mediator of impermanence. She teaches that clarity without transformation is stagnation, and that memory must sometimes dissolve for new resonance to form. Followers often adopt a path of intentional forgetting, non-attachment, and meditative drift through meaning.
|Symbolism and iconography=Aelrith is rarely depicted directly. Symbols associated with her include:
 
* Three descending waveforms, often in silver or water-ink
 
* The half-veiled face motif (seen in cloaks, carvings, and mist masks)
 
* Polished obsidian circles with faint condensation trails
 
* Breath-etched glyphs, visible only in fog or steam

|Nature and Influence=Aelrith is not a spirit of form, but of transition. Her influence is most potent in spaces of concealment and ambiguity—fog-shrouded paths, fading memories, echoing caverns, and spiritual waystations. Travelers report her presence as a feeling of being watched gently, or as glimpses of graceful motion just beyond vision. Her touch is said to cause silence to deepen and memory to blur or soften.
