alas, there's  a chance that some forms of magic might be rendered useless on garlemald/garlean lands.Â
beyond that however, I've little memory and would rather sounds the sounsyy signal
Ahhh thank you! And good to know about Garlemald.

I wish I could find the exact text, but the general tale was that once, all the continents were together. The other continents we bigger and bullied Aldenard, and became jealous of its gifts, moving away. The story was about how the continents split apart and why there's distance between them. Because the flow of the aetherstream is at Silvertear Lake, Aldenard naturally has the highest concentration of aether. The other continents are further away, which lessens the flow.
Ohhh I did a few searches but didn't find the story. Thanks for the synopsis!
 If anyone does know where to read this at in it's entirety I'd love to read!
