Æthereal Realm
The Dream World
The Æthereal Realm is a dimensional plane created within the Ætheric atmosphere of Xios after the fifth calamity. Also known as the Dream World, the realm is known to have creatures who sleep enter it unknown to their knowledge, refering it as a dream. Those who have mastered dreamwalking are able to consciously enter the realm through a deep sleep - whether by use of mind or with the aid of a magical item - and navigate through the realm using their minds to travel great distances within seconds. The stars in the sky represent the people in Xios who are currently asleep but not in the Æthereal Realm. If you concentrate on the person you are trying to look for, the star that represents them will shine brighter than the rest, and you are able to enter that dream. Choosing to enter someone else's dream can be dangerous, for if your will is not strong enough you could be trapped within their imagination. If your dream form dies, your body wakes up in the real world, but you will perish if your real body dies in the Æthereal Realm. Legends say that a beholder is known to dwell in the realm as well, though there is no evidence of such.
Because the Æthereal Realm is connected to the Ætheric atmosphere, travelling between planes does not cause an Ætheric rift.

Geography
The Æthereal Realm is a dream reflection of the Material Plane. The landscape is the same as in the real world, except everything is in a shade of green. Creatures who dwell in the Æthereal Realm are not effected by the green tint and have their original colour, as well as anyone who fully enters via a gateway or teleportation. The sky is always black with stars fading in and out of existence.
Climate
No matter the season or climate, anyone in the Æthereal Realm does not experience temperature.
Fauna & Flora

"Upon entering the Æthereal Realm, the first thing you will notice is that everything is a shade of green and almost out of focus. This dream-like state world is wonderous for the imagination, for if you have the will for it, you can conjure up anything of the mind. It's an excellent safety precaution as well, for any accidental deaths caused in this realm results in simply waking up from a dream - though some lingering pain is known to occur."

Included Organizations
- The realm does not reflect the creatures living in the material plane. Only natural dwelling creatures, those who come here through a dream state, or those who enter here physically are present in the Æthereal Realm.
- Everything has a green hue to it, making it a dream state. While in this state, bringing your hp to 0 or below does not mean a KO. Instead, you leave the Æthereal Realm and return to your body.
- The sky is constantly black with a plethora of stars fading in and out of existence. If one is trained in the art of dreamwalking, they are able to locate and enter someone's dream. (This is considered dangerous)
- The realm is only bound by your imagination, allowing you to conjure whatever your mind has the strength to. (Intelligence DC varies on scenario)
- You're able to travel great distances in short time, allowing you to survey many locations. (Dexterity DC varies on distance)
- Travelling to the Æthereal Realm physically gives you advantage on all rolls, but you do not get a green hue, and if you die you do not return to the Material Plane
- You are able to enter the Æthereal Realm through either being proficient at dreamwalking, or using a dream ring
