Construction of the great PORTALS comes

to an end. The time for preparation is over

as the BROTHERHOOD marches to a realm

beyond anything they have seen before.

But while they prepared, so have the

CHILDREN OF MORTIS. Deeply entrenched

with a massive fortress to defend, they

block the path to the CHAIN OF THE

FORCE.

The ETHEREAL REALM awaits the arrival of

the Brotherhood. Primed by centuries of

usage by the Children, a myriad of

wonders and horrors await within.

Woven into every action both sides have

taken is the looming presence of the

former Grand Master, TELARIS CANTOR.

The Brotherhood, the Children, Telaris

Cantor. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the

balance…

The Ethereal Realm

As a reminder this entire war is taking place in the Ethereal Realm. The wikipedia page has a lot of good information about the dangers (and opportunities) that await there. Locations and Force Effects can be found throughout different competitions in the war. Highlights of the realm include:

• A ghostly reflection of Eos City
• Sky islands and bizarre gravity
• Deep trenches of forgotten horrors
• The Corpse Fields
• Areas of enhanced force powers, and areas of no force powers
• Areas where even NFUs can tap into the Force
