Aether Flares

Every aetherbubble is home to one of the great rings of the Aether Kings, of which we know little. The various player organizations may compete to bring these rings into harmony with their respective nexii. This may only be done following an eruption of aether flares. Like village revolts, aether flares occur in a predictable cycle. In common parlance, the aether rings are specific rooms on each aetherbubble which become the focal point of competition.

Controlling an aetherbubble allows an organization to erect a construct there. Each organization has five construct blueprints, each with their own unique attributes. When aether flares erupt, any constructs which exist on the bubble are destroyed. In addition to the benefits associated with the construct itself for its members, 1000 power will be added to an organization's nexus per month, per construct built. Only the power minister can build a construct.

Aether flares then, naturally result in highly competitive battles which take place both on the ground and in aetherspace. A more detailed summary of syntaxes can be found in the in-game help file for CONSTRUCTS.

Claiming

During an eruption of aether flares, the goal is to bring the aether ring into harmony with your organizations nexus. This is accomplished on the ground by focusing energy upon a colossus, and in aetherspace via orbital bombardment.
