The Aetherium is an ancient treasury that serves as both a museum and a hidden vault, built across three levels of increasing restriction. ^{[last-winter#482 · last-winter#483]}

Overview

The building is arranged in three levels, each holding progressively rarer material and open to a narrower circle of visitors than the one below it. ^{[last-winter#482 · last-winter#483]}

Ground Floor

The Ground Floor is open to the public and displays well-known artifacts and art; it is a popular attraction for scholars and other visitors. ^{[last-winter#482 · last-winter#514]}

Top Floor

The Top Floor holds rarer, more exclusive collections and is reserved for those who have won the favor of the Duke. ^{[last-winter#482 · last-winter#514]}

Under the Mountain

The third level, called Under the Mountain, is guarded by traps and magic and can be entered only by the city's true ruler. ^{[last-winter#482 · last-winter#514]}

Unconfirmed ideas

The source conversations contain proposals for Aetherium that the campaign owner never confirmed. They are collected on Idea:Aetherium so they cannot be mistaken for canon.
