aethers
Upper air regions
Aethers is the plural of aether, a variant spelling of ether.
In ancient and medieval philosophy, the aether was the fifth element—a pure, weightless substance filling the heavens beyond the terrestrial sphere.
In physics, luminiferous aether was the hypothetical medium once thought necessary for light waves to propagate through space, later disproved by Einstein's relativity.
The spelling aether appears in fantasy and gaming contexts: The mage drew power from the aethers.
