Historia Aetherium

Historia Aetherium

Once completed, a compendium of knowledge concerning the creatures and phenomena of the ether, seen through a monocle darkly.

Note: Much of this is speculative and potentially spoilery. You should probably complete at least the main quest line to avoid ruining too much of the story, but note that the topics here are drawn together from many different parts of the game.

Beasts

• Beasts Beneath the Lake (Fish People, etc.)
• Creatures of the Painbrush (Ghouls, etc.)
• Fae
• Fairy Tale Undead
• Feathered Horrors
• Drone Creatures (Eyes, Spiders, etc.)
• Living Sludge
• Holiday Creatues
  • (not sure what to call this, but things like snowmen and most halloween creatures ; physical things that become etherized by large amounts of belief/emotion)
• Mushroom People
• Serpents and Reptiles
  • (include lake/terrible serpents, crocodiles, serpentine emerald hounds, probably firework serpents though I'm not sure they're related; rail serpents can go under The Living Subway)
• Specters
  • (see ectoplasmic sample for a list, and include ectoplasm-related stuff)
• Twisted Hounds
• Underground Mutants
  • currently links to an anchor in the nonexistent Freaks page, but this may be complicated enough for its own article, especially with warring samples, writhing flesh, and all that
• Writhing Masses
