 * History and Background: One of a group of five oceanic shards in the Inner Ring known as the Raelatis Cluster (the other four being Ael'Plament, Ael'Therax, Kuthiri and Maaren), Ael'Terinsin is the only other shard governed by the We'telesquor family.

Ael'Terinsin was occupied by the Empire between the years 1239 to 1241 AS, but after only a few years of occupation, the sea elves attacked and destroyed the outpost and the few ships that patrolled it. Unfortunately, the destruction of the ships released magical radiation into the ocean, corrupting much of the wildlife and forcing the elves to largely abandon the shard for the neighboring shard of Kuthiri.

Nowadays, the elves keep several small "safe zones", magically warded fortresses that protect those on the inside from the radiation. These fortresses are connected to Kuthiri via portals, but the inhabitants generally keep to themselves.
