Second known image of the Fort Raven castle in its first few months of construction.

The completed castle in July of 2024, an insane difference between the original render and this screenshot is shown.

This is the earliest image of the Fort Raven castle, as it shows the unfinished roof above the entrance. There may be even older screenshots that have yet to be found.

History

The town that would become Aether city was originally started in late 2021 or early 2022, but was later renamed to New St. Petersburg in early 2024. Only recently was it called Aether City. It is now the capitol city of the Republic of Freedonia. On 8/29/24,  Sanixdrill built the tallest complete building in all of Aether city! Due to this monumental achievement, he has been awarded with full ownership of the Aether city harbor offices. Currently, Aether City is the most influential and active city on the west border, and will probably always be.

Ways to come here:

1. Goosebury: If you take the nexus to Goosebury, you can walk west towards the Sea of Mare (Large body of water near goosebury), and take a boat directly to Aether city. Difficulty: Hard, Safety: 8/10, Distance: Long, Time: Medium
2. Nether route: If you go to the west border of the Nether, you can go through a portal to the West Border Station and a short road will lead you here. Difficulty: Hard, Safety: 4/10, Distance: Medium, Time: Short
3. The Continental route: If you go to the Nexus Borderlands hub - west (Blue) 1, you can take a boat to The Continental, Navigate a massive ocean, then stop at Pumpkin Town/Mare City to walk to Swampton, then it's only a short walk to Skylandia, which is right next to Aether City. (Note - Make sure that you use /map to know where you are going) Difficulty: Medium, Safety: 7/10, Distance: Long, Time: Long.
4. OG Route: This is by far the longest and hardest route, and it is also the one that dunechan took to originally get to the region. You start by walking along the walkways above Cartwheel Tower, and Underworld. Eventually after walking for long enough, you leave the original Freedonian world generation from 2010/2011, and start entering newer world gen. Eventually after an even longer time walking, you enter the 1.12.2 expansion where you get slightly closer. (Note - At some point you will have to go off road, because the highways from cartwheel tower diverge into another direction at some point.) Close to the end, you will enter a large mesa biome or jungle that is hard to navigate, but not impossible. Difficulty: VERY HARD, Safety: 2/10, Distance: EXTREMELY LONG (Pack a lot of food), Time: VERY LONG.
5. Easy route: Just ask a mod to teleport you to me (Recommended route)

Until we get a nexus, these 5 routes should help you get here.
