The Ethereals

Reia, the Ethereal

Reia is an Ethereal , one of the deities responsible for creating the world of Liora . Physically, she is designed to embody an athletic, toned, and healthy figure at 5'8" (173 cm) and 140 lbs (63.5 kg) , having stopped aging as a young adult. Her striking appearance includes black, long, braided hair tied with a four-pointed star, and deep, dark brown eyes that glow when her powers are active. She has dark brown skin with a warm undertone and a significant birthmark on her left thigh, the very symbol of balance and harmony featured in the game's logo. This symbol holds deep lore, as it also represents her and her three siblings, with Reia herself symbolized by the star. Her clothing is form-fitting and light, favoring a palette of white, black, blues, and gold , accessorized with three gems in her hair signifying the elements she is channeling, and a large, symbolic gemstone on her hip-sash containing her official symbol.

Lore and Abilities

As an Ethereal, Reia's occupation is that of a world-creator with limitless power within her domain. Her personality is defined by being benevolent, kind, pure, vibrant, and fiercely protective . She is uniquely gifted with the rare ability to wield multiple elements simultaneously such as hydro, pyro, electro, aero, terra, luma, and umbra. This comes at the cost of her lacking mastery over any single element. She channels this power through a magical focus, a tool she uses to conjure weapons of pure energy, including a bow, a sword, and a polearm, although she doesn't require it to use her abilities. Her story is intrinsically linked to her siblings, also Ethereals. The initial conflict of the narrative centers on a betrayal by one of her two brothers, which forces her to seal herself away within one of her own crystal abilities to protect Liora.

The World of Liora

Liora is an adventure-filled world blending Fantasy, Magical Realism, and Adventure . It's a vibrant realm featuring diverse landscapes and a cohesive mix of medieval and modern technology , where magic is an inherent and active force. While the presence of Ethereals is known, they are not fully understood by the inhabitants, which include Humans and Magical Creatures . The society is a rich tapestry of different cultures and beliefs, all influenced by the myths and legends surrounding the Ethereals. The balance of Liora, and other worlds, is under threat from both internal factional tensions and external dark forces.
