There are other worlds beyond your own, where creatures you had once thought myth, walk by the light of day. Where magic has not faded and the cosmic pools still churn…
Welcome to Through the Lantern Glass
What is Through the Lantern Glass?
Through the Lantern Glass is an archive of memory and myth, fact and history, curated by the chronicler of Ethecorra. My name is Nerien, and I exist between the veils, bound to your world and that of Ethecorra; yet belonging to neither. You can learn more about Ethecorra or more about me below.

Sea Myths
These are the coastal tales of Ethecorra, salt-laced secrets and the whispers of the tide. #SeaMyths.
Fragments of Sacred Texts
These are the sacred texts preserved only in fragments of the Gods of Old; the ones who asked for ecstasy and pleasure. Most are now banned as heretical texts within humen culture. #SacredText

by Nerien
Last night the stars began to blink.

Earthsong is but a few days away, and all across the continent, the final submissions are having their casks and barrels quality checked…

- The Wild and the Wonder.
by Nerien
I have always marvelled at the contrasts within Ethecorra.Take Montarvia, for example- such a large and beautiful continent. From the snowy peaks of the Vaelspire Mountains, to the mist-drenched coastal waters of Velastra, its landscapes shift like pages of an ancient tale. A tropical forest is found along the coastal line of Southfell, and yet…

- The Rains of Solis.
by Nerien
I saw the waters rise today. Standing just beyond the tidal flats, near the Lower Port, the Gods blessed the dry land with rain upon the earth. The clouds had moved swiftly and I saw the knowledge reflected in the eyes of the Velmarians as they went about their day, casting glances at the gathering…
