The kingdom of Aethera is located near the river Ode. Placed on the top of a hill surrounded by a deep forest which legend says is inhabited by mythical beasts.

The kingdom is under the protection of the Sky Goddess. The reason why it is known for their variety of birds which they consider sacred as they are regarded as messengers of their protector. Every time a new ruler is crowned, a bird will land on their shoulder sent by the goddess herself. It is believed that the future of the kingdom depends on the species of the bird.

Even though in the recent past the kingdom has experienced a turbulent history. At this time, it's going through a golden age, as the current ruler: King --- has brought prosperity and peace to the kingdom.

Some of you may ask what species of bird landed on the young king’s shoulder during his coronation. Trustworthy sources have informed the writer of this guide it was a dove, who are known for their loyalty and peacefulness. Thus with that blessing from the Sky Goddess it is no wonder why the kingdom is doing so well.

Another talking point about this kingdom is related to the current captain of the royal guard who as it is widely known is a werewolf. I must say I have met him personally and he is a very pleasant person.

Many lies have been spread about the nature of werewolves. But the kingdom has made an active effort to eradicate these unfunded rumors born from ignorance and educate locals and visitors.

There are many activities for visitors to do while staying in the royal city of Canora. The vast gardens and parks and the magnificent architecture make for a pleasant stay. It is also known for their market, located near the town square. It is easy to find a vast variety of high-quality products at an excellent price. Vendors from all over the continent come to the city to offer their products.

I must admit, it is important to start planning your journey ahead of time, especially if you plan to visit during the Spring and early Summer when the city receives the most visitors and it's difficult to obtain lodging.
