"Visit to Aetherius occur even less frequently than to Oblivion, for the void is a long expanse and only the stars offer portal for aetherial travel, or the judicious use of magic. The expeditions of the Reman Dynasty and the Sun Birds of Alinor are the most famous attempts in our histories, and it is a cosmic irony that both of them were eventually dissolved for the same reason: the untenable expenditures required to reach magic by magicka." -Imperial Geographical Society

Though thought impossible by lesser minds, the study and practice of travels to other realms via physical travel was long ago practiced by the great races of old. To them, it was known as mananautics, aethernautics, and "Screw this, this rocketry stuff is too hard let's go kill babies". To us, it is known as space travel. While time has done its work on the Altmer and Imperials, their ancient starships lost to history and apathy, there have emerged rumors of the third race, the Dwemer, and their lost practices. They say in the deep mountains lies an enormous ruin, holding within a fantastic ship capable of traveling to other worlds, and to an adventure worthy enough to fight their way through the defenses of this lost complex and reactivate this machine, it would be an unimaginable treasure. The last Aethership! A worthy prize for mage and warrior and thief alike!
