The Continental Magic Council's headquarters, known as Aetherion, was an underwater fortress of unparalleled grandeur. Deep beneath the surface of the ocean, it stood, a place both ancient and magical, where the sheer strength of the enchantments holding it together seemed to resonate with the very breath of the sea. The fortress glimmered under the diffused light filtering through the ocean, its walls covered with runes that pulsated in sync with the ebb and flow of the tides. Aetherion, despite its age, looked as if it could stand against anything—a fitting home for the most powerful council on the continent.
