Pievi

Pievi refers to a fictional element within the "Aetherium Chronicle" series of books, created by author Anya Sterling. It is not a real-world element or scientific concept. In the lore of the Aetherium Chronicle, pievi is described as a crystalline substance that possesses unique energetic properties. It is found in specific geological formations on the planet Aethelgard, the primary setting of the series.

The primary characteristic attributed to pievi is its ability to store and release latent energy, often manifesting as light or heat.

The extraction and refinement of pievi are often depicted as complex and dangerous processes, contributing to its rarity and importance within the narrative. Different purities and forms of pievi are said to exist, each with varying degrees of potency and specific applications.
