Enerais

Enerais is a fictional concept primarily featured in the role-playing game setting of Aethelgard. Within this lore, enerais are described as elemental beings intrinsically linked to the natural world. They are not corporeal in the traditional sense but rather manifest as concentrated forms of raw elemental energy, often appearing as swirling lights, mists, or animated natural phenomena. Each enerai is typically associated with a specific element, such as fire, water, earth, or air, and embodies the characteristics and powers of that element.

The origin of enerais within Aethelgard is often depicted as emerging from primordial sources of magic or from areas where the veil between the material plane and elemental planes is thin. They are generally considered to be neutral entities, acting according to their elemental nature rather than any moral alignment. While some enerais might be passive and simply exist, others can be territorial or react aggressively to disturbances in their environment. Interactions with mortals are varied; some may be indifferent, others helpful if approached respectfully, and some can be dangerous if provoked. Understanding and navigating the presence of enerais is often a significant aspect of adventuring and survival within the world of Aethelgard.
