The Lunar Aspects
Mortals who have shown their perseverance and dedication to increasing their experience in Aetherius and have reached the 100th level are given the ability to take on the Aspect of one of the powerful moons. The mantle of an Aspect allows one to imbue monoliths scattered throughout the plane with the essence of their Aspect. Controlling these monoliths grants special powers to all those who have taken on the Aspect of that moon.
When an Aspect is slain while in control of any monoliths, they will lose control of those monoliths but they will not lose their status as an Aspect. If, however, they do not control any monoliths, they will lose their worthiness to bear the mantle of an Aspect, and will once again be required to prove themselves.
The link between an Aspect and the monoliths is one that must be carefully defended, as any other Aspect, at any time, may attempt to sever that link, and take control of that monolith in return.
