🌌 Welcome to Etharyon

Where moonlight veils ancient secrets and sapphire spires rise against shadow

On the border of Vacari, veiled for centuries in silver mist, lies the realm of Etharyon. Though once thought lost, Etharyon has always been a part of Vacari’s living realms. Its return came not by conquest, but through courage—when trade was reestablished during the events of Shadows of Betrayal. Now, ships once more pass from the Shimmering Beach across sapphire waters, and a narrow forest path winds from coast to realm, linking the two in fragile alliance.

Etharyon is a land of contrasts: glowing cities of sapphire and silver, deep forests heavy with mist, and mountains whispered to hide both dwarves and dragons. Moonlight defines its culture and cadence—mystical, haunting, and eternal.

🏜 Welcome to Afor

A forum lore spotlight on one of Vacari’s most mysterious realms

Hidden beyond the Emberwoods and sealed for centuries by divine decree, Afor stands as one of Vacari’s veiled realms. Though it may seem like a world apart, it remains bound to the heart of Vacari—its deserts, kingdoms, and shadows carrying stories as ancient as the sands themselves.

Here, beauty and danger weave together: opulent bazaars and shattered ruins, cliffs kissed by wind and dunes haunted by leviathans. Afor is not for the unprepared, but those who endure its trials find a realm alive with legend, guardianship, and destiny.

🕌 Kingdom of Vaeloria (Central Desert Realm – Dark-Aligned)

A kingdom of golden sands, opulent bazaars, and hidden corruption. Though vibrant and culturally rich, Vaeloria thrives under the shadow of Umbravine Hollow and the Sultan’s ever-tightening grasp.

It’s a question that sometimes arises—especially from readers new to the world of Vacari:

Where are the Dwarves?

The answer is not that they are absent, but that they dwell in realms and regions of Vacari where their craft can flourish without clashing against the living forests.

🌿 Vacari’s Heartlands: Not Their Home

Vacari is a realm of ancient forests, sacred groves, wild magics, and deep spiritual bonds to the land. The forests themselves are alive—many are sentient, pulsing with celestial energy. When they are harmed, the land itself suffers, and so do those attuned to it.

Keisha, bound deeply to Vacari’s essence, feels the breath and pain of the forests as her own. To her, and to the ancient spirits of the land, the balance must be preserved.

Just a fun fact from behind the scrolls of Vacari…

There’s a black panther in the books—graceful, fierce, and unapologetically loyal. Her name? Pumpkin.

What many readers may not know is that Pumpkin is inspired by someone very real: my own little black cat, also named Pumpkin. 🖤

Her personality—the sass, the sharp glances, the smug purring when she’s pretending not to care—is entirely her own. I didn’t invent her. I just gave her longer claws and a forest to rule.

In the story, Pumpkin has become a loyal companion to Keisha and a small but mighty presence in a world of dragons, darkness, and destiny. And every time she curls up by the fire or takes down something twice her size, know this: she’s channeling a real cat who is absolutely certain she runs my house.

(She’s not wrong.)
