Cylmoria, or what is more commonly referred to as simply ‘The Ether' is a realm of primordial stuff believed to be leftover material from the creation of the Multiverse. The whole plane is a place of near weightless, semi-fluid suspension that a person could quite literally swim across if one were so inclined. The whole plane seems to generate its own light which has a dream-like, pinkish haze to it. Ether sometimes coalesces into solid masses, commonly known as Cylmorian Islands. It is on these islands Ether miners are often found, toiling away for Etherium, Ethercite or the exceedingly rare Vanicite. Cylmorian Islands are also, at their largest capable of sustaining fortresses, airship ports and in a handful of cases, small cities dedicated to Etheric travelers.
The two foremost of these cities are Kyssak, which is maintained by a group of Van'Su not indentured to dragons and welcomes travelers of all kinds within their walls and N'Jorah, a city formed by the descendants of the last D`Mirian Emperor, Jahthar Kyr. Unless you happen to be an Asyndi, approaching this city is simply not wise. Kyssak's more hospitable environment boasts a library that spans most of the surface of the Cylmorian Island it sits upon as well as a well-provisioned trading post, room and board, and supply stations. The caveat to coming to Kyssak is that no violence is allowed. The Van'Su are considerably more powerful than other races at dimensional magics and can very easily send an entire airship to another part of the Ether (or another plane) with very little effort at all. Thanks to places like Kyssak, traveling Cylmoria is only somewhat dangerous in comparsion to other planes. It is very much the ‘wild frontier' as far as planes go.
