Aerie (realm)

The Aerie was the divine realm of the elven goddess of air, weather and avians, Aerdrie Faenya, which she shared with Syranita, goddess of the aarakocra. Among the latter the place was known as Whistledge.

Location
In the Great Wheel cosmology, the Aerie could shift according to its deity's whims between the joint realm of the Seldarine in Arvandor and the homestead of more chaotic-minded elven petitioners, Alfheim. The former was part of Arborea's first layer (also called Arvandor), the latter lay in Ysgard's first layer (also named Ysgard).

In the World Tree cosmology, the realm was located within the plane of Arvandor.

In either case, it floated above the breathtaking landscapes inhabited by the earth-bound petitioners.

Description
The Aerie consisted of cloudy islands covered with double-topped trees and crowned by a bright aerial palace. It could be approached by means of flight, but even that was often difficult due to prevailing strong winds.
