In the beginning, there was only the Prime Flame.

It burned at the heart of Aethermere—eternal, sentient, and whole. But in a moment of divine grief, the Flame fractured, casting its embers across the void. From that shattering, the realms were born. Each one a shard of emotion. Each one a mythic echo of the soul’s passage.

Today, we unveil the full cosmology of Aethermere—and announce the arrival of its most haunting realm yet.

🕯️ Aethermere: The Realms of the Flamewheel

The Flamewheel is not a map. It is a ritual. A soul’s orbit through longing, loss, hope, and transformation. Each realm is a spoke in the wheel, and every relic is a vessel of emotional alchemy.

🔥 Ember Realm 

• Essence: Passion, grief, remembrance

• Landscape: Glowing ash fields, charred ruins

• Relics: Ember-forged artifacts inscribed with elegies and fragments of lost vows

Ember is the memory of fire. It teaches that even ruin can radiate beauty.

🌫️ Skyfade Realm

• Essence: Melancholy, transition, impermanence

• Landscape: Twilight skies, drifting islands, auroral mists

• Relics: Iridescent, light-shifting forms that evoke thresholds and fading clarity

Skyfade is the sigh of the Flame as it dimmed. A realm of almosts and aching beauty.

🌊 Tidesworn Realm

• Essence: Depth, resilience, sacred oaths

• Landscape: Submerged ruins, bioluminescent trenches, leviathan bones

• Relics: Dual-class lore artifacts—surface and abyssal—crafted for descent and transformation

Tidesworn is the plunge. A realm where promises weigh heavy and descent is a rite.

🕳️ NEW: The Hollow Realms Series (Coming Soon)

And now, the void speaks.

The Hollow Realms are the shadows cast by the Flame’s departure. They are not evil, but empty—echoing with silence, fractured memory, and the haunting of what could not be.

• Essence: Void, silence, emotional absence

• Landscape: Cracked moons, forgotten altars, relics that hum with mythic stillness

• Relics: Stark, minimalist forms designed to evoke emotional gaps and sacred quiet

The Hollow Realms series launches soon. Each artifact is a meditation on absence—crafted to honor the spaces between stories. Expect fractured pours, lunar pigments, and relics that whisper rather than roar.

This series marks a turning point in the Frost Pen Co. mythos. A descent into silence. A rite of reflection. A collector’s invitation to confront the void—and find meaning in the echo.

🧭 Collector’s Note

Each Hollow Realm artifact will be accompanied by a Lore card and a fragment of mythic verse. The series is limited, ritual-bound, and designed for those who walk the quiet path.

The Flamewheel turns. The void awakens. And the story deepens.

Welcome to the Hollow Realms.
