As with the Player page, most of the Aether-related sites are no longer active, but there are still a few scattered across the web. Eos was also kind enough to upload a number of her old sites, just for the occasion. The links are divided into the following categories:

• Aether-Related
• History, Mythology, and Folklore
• MU* Resources

• Aelfar: As with the Aesir, Najada, and Rusalki, the Aelfar were a "new race" located somewhere to the north of Aether's "known lands." They were similar to Sylvans, but with a distinctly early British/Welsh feel, and they were concocted by Herne, with a web-design by Selene.
  
  
• Aether - The Legacy: Aether's closing didn't stop some players from continuing out their saga, and this website is a collection of art, casting calls, and even a "tour guide" for other spots in the Empyre.
  
  
• Agni-Haidar: Designed by Anubis' player, this website contains information about the elite warriors of Khalid Atar, his "Lions of Fire."

• Atlanteans: a web-site dedicated to the sea-dwelling Atlanteans, designed and maintained by Asherah, the fishy admin.
• Available Features and VIPs: a page expressly for important positions and roles that have opened up on the game.
  
  
• Aztec Varati: Bat Kol and Itzapapalotl both came up with ideas for this South American-inspired race of Varati, which unfortunately never entered the game while it was up, but it was good fodder for the imagination nonetheless.
• The Empyreans - Rulers of the Sky: a web-page devoted exclusively to all things Empyrean, designed and maintained by Eos.
• Eternity MUSH: A spin-off game that was created after Aether closed down, when a number of Sylvan players decided to tweak the theme a bit, so that they could continue playing the characters they knew and loved.
• Empyrean Art - The Golden Age: a web-page devoted to the 500 year period on Aether when the Empyreans reigned supreme, and specifically the art they produced. Maintained by Selene's player.
• The Empyrean Temple Project: a site designed by Selene that pertains to the "temple project" she and Octavian are heading. It features information, images, logs, available jobs, and a list of gods and goddesses for whom we need models!
• Fimbulwinter - The Coming Storm: a web-page designed by Eos that features information about some of the races beyond the "known world" of Aether: the Aesir, Najada, and Rusalki.
• From Dark Waters: a site dedicated to the Orcinus Decemvirate, this one was created and is maintained by Shinjukou's player, and it contains more helpful information about the "black sheep" Decemvirate of the Atlanteans.
• The Gladiators of Aether: a page with information, logs, and images about the slaves and warriors who live, sweat, and die in the arena. Created and maintained by Fenimos.
• House Acesius: Another of Selene's creations, this one focuses specifically on the Empyrean noble House of Acesius, one of the premier patrician families in the Empyre.
• New Player FAQ: A page of frequently-asked-questions meant to provide a quick overview for new players -- created by Nox@Aether.
• Recommended Listening: links to various musicians or groups whose work has a uniquely "Aether-ish" feel.
  
  
• Ushasti - Beloved of Ushas: Inanna designed this page, which contains more information about the Ushasti, a sub-sect of Varati religion that focuses on healing, herbalism, midwifery, and other "women's work."
  
  
• Varati - People of the Neverending Fire: Originally designed by Astraea and then maintained by Hecate, this page contains more information about the Varati culture, history, and social structure.
