Etherpedia

Etherpedia is the encyclopedia of the game 'Eternal Nations,' a reference gathering information on units, races, commands, resources, and nations. In the new world it serves Takuto and Atou as a guiding map: through its entries they check the stats of combat and scout units like Atou of the Mud or the Long-Legged Worms, the racial bonuses of dark elves and pseudo-humans, and the mechanics of mana and emergency production.

Each entry is a dry game readout — combat power, movement, abilities, affinities — paired with a vivid description in the spirit of dark fantasy myth: 'The great God of Light made man from dust; a nameless dreadful being bore Atou from mud.' Thus the reference joins the cold numbers of strategy with the grim poetry of the world.

For the heroes, Etherpedia is the very knowledge that turns them from strangers in this world into those who hold a treasure map: it tells them what to expect from races, units, and realms, and helps Mynoghra grow ahead of rivals for whom this world is only darkness.
