======Naelthira======
Naelthira is a science-fantasy simming/roleplaying community that was founded in 2026 by [[staff:kim|Kim]] and [[staff:andrew|Andrew]]. It is a collective of cooperative writers who all share a passion for a unique science fiction and fantasy setting. This Wiki serves as a codex to our multiverse and is built by our adventurers. We are a [[:roleplay_first|Roleplay First]] community, so it serves as an optional and supplemental source to the [[:adventures|Adventures]] that are roleplayed out on our [[https://naelthira.com/index.php|forums]].

The multiverse, also known as Naelthira (pronounced NAY-uhl-theer-uh), is an interconnected web of universes and realities. Each universe has its own rules of physics, histories, magic, and possibilities. Since the dawn of history, civilizations have sought to explore and understand the universe. For most, it was merely theoretical; under many discovered the means to travel between different universes.

=====Our Stories=====
Our stories often mention travel to other universes. The majority of the stories we will tell, however, will take place in the Yirune Galaxy of the Chrystalis Universe, which we call home. Many [[:Nations]] have developed methods for crossing between universes, each influenced by their unique technologies and philosophies, while others have chosen to remain focused on objectives in the home universe. 

=====Exploration of An Infinite Setting=====
While some galaxies and parts of some universes have been explored, many expanses within Naelthira remain uncharted and undiscovered. With such vast expanses between locations, there is plenty of time for character development, which serves as the epicenter for our [[:adventures|Adventures]].

=====Worldbuilding=====
Our [[worldbuilding:start|Worldbuilding Hub]] is a great place if you are someone who enjoys developing lore. While we are a [[:roleplay_first|Roleplay First]] site, and the paperwork is optional, we still encourage those who have the time and desire to help add to our lore.
