Aethernet

Information

The Aethernet was a cumulative effort of creating a new way of communication and data access.  Along with Aethertech it is one of the key reasons Aetherstone City became the powerhouse that it is today.  A new ‘Internet’ for Aetherstone with near instant transfer of data and computing power yet to be seen in the rest of the world, the Aethernet gives those with access a way to progress faster than counterparts outside of the city.

Where is the Aethernet

The Aethernet is located within the major Leyline under Aetherstone.  During the middle of the 20th century, it was discovered that the Leyline could be used for benefit of the city above.  Not only in terms of powering the city, but to act as a data storage, computing, and transfer.

Specifications

Aethernet deals in Aetherstorage.  Aetherstorage uses ‘Aether’ or ‘A’ as the variable for transfer and storage.  Unlike the internet, 1A storage and 1A transfer is an exact 1:1 ratio.

1A = 1TB

Transfer Capacity: Potentially Unlimited

Storage Capacility: Unlimited

Mix of technology and magic usage, known hackers used magical arts instead of programming knowledge to hack the Aethernet.
