Etheria

Etheria is a corruption known in the first map of EarthCraft, with similar aspects to that of the End, however it is purely infused with dark chi. The first instance of Etheria was in the middle of Germany. It primarily came from a corrupted chunk that spread, and is the primary location of the Etheria Raid. The second Etheria chunk came on the Moon, in the place of the Halloween Raid.

Lore
Predating even the Earth itself, Etheria is a corrupted chunk that continually spreads similar to that of a virus. It has consumed countless worlds and had virtually no antidote. It infects all matter it touches and infuses them with dark chi, with any player fully affected instantly dying to it.

It originally appeared in Germany, and slowly spread over the course of a few months. It finished spreading when it turned into a giant cube, inside was the first Etheria Raid.

Before the Etheria Golem was defeated. While the first chunk of Etheria was spreading one appeared right next to Spawn, this chunk slowly spread until it overtook spawn. The Traveler destroyed it in the first live event of Earthcraft using the power of Light Chi.

The next Etheria chunk appeared on the Moon west of Spawn. This was the Etherian Arena, This was the site of the Second Etheria Raid. During the raid, the Etherian Crystal in the middle of the Etherian Arena was beaming itself back to earth, in the middle of the Sahara Stoddard22 and PoseidonGames defeated the Lost Golem and with it, Etheria... for now. This raid can be viewed on youtube, though it isn't recorded in the best quality nor is it the full thing: Moon Raid

The last Etheria appearance was in the Sahara in the Etheria Outpost during the Ragnarok Raid. This raid was taken on by The Heroes of Earthcraft, to which they fought off hordes of Etherian creatures with the use of The Victory Ingots. After defeating the hordes of creatures, The Ether began to fight the Heroes of Earthcraft, this was a long fight but eventually the Heroes beat The Ether. The heroes of Earthcraft eventually delved into the Etherian cube, where The Ether Giant was housed. The Traveler eventually arrived to the Etheria Outpost, he fought off hordes of Etherian Monsters while the Heroes of Earthcraft fought The Ether Giant. Using the Power of all 6 victory ingots, the Heroes of Earthcraft were able to defeat the Ether Giant, This caused a massive explosion which The Traveler tanked for the Heroes. This corrupted The Traveler with Etheria in his right arm. Permanently. The Traveler has not been seen since. During the explosion, the Chaos Ingot was also forged, to which it has been permanently lost in the sands of time. This raid can be viewed on Youtube: The Final Battle

Etheria Golem
The Etheria Golem was the first Etherian Boss Mob (EBM). Bearing the epithet "Might of Etheria" it was an ordinary iron golem being infused with dark chi from Etheria itself. It gains many abilities dark chi users can get such as lightning generation and augmented strength, more then that of a normal iron golem. The golem can also leap over 50 blocks in the air, and crush anything below it.

Etheria Skeleton / Etheria Husk
The Etheria Skeleton and Etheria Husk are two soldier mobs that are corrupted variants of a wither skeleton and a husk, respectively. They spawn in masses when inside Etheria.

Ether
The Ether is Etheria incarnate, bearing the epithet "Personification of Etheria" is a cursed being inside Etheria, bringing it wherever he goes. He cannot leave Etheria and corrupts chunks wherever he goes. He is also the one who created the Etheria Golem, and possesses the corpse of a player in every iteration.

The final form of the Ether when fused with the energy of the Etheria Outpost is the Ether Giant, a being that is powerful enough to plunge the world into darkness.

He has 2 forms. His normal form and his Giant form. In his normal form, he is already a force to be reckoned with as he can easily take down a Protection 4 Netherite player, requiring multiple players and god apples to fight at once. In his Giant form, it requires all the Victory Ingots and a True form in order to defeat him. His Giant form grants him godlike powers that allow him to kill a Protection 4 Netherite player in only seconds, such as shooting wither heads and over 10 bolts of dark chi lightning. In the Ragnarok Raid, he is fought and the world plunges into anarchy after his defeat.

Weaknesses
Etheria's main weakness was discovered when The Traveler was in search of an energy source to destroy Etheria, in which he found that it creates a more powerful energy then that of it's original: Light Chi. Etheria is extremely vulnerable to the Victory Ingots, six stones created by the Traveler to weaponize the light chi he discovered.

Another weakness Etheria has is that it can be battled by players (whom can use both dark and light chi), however the only way to truly vanquish Etheria is by utilizing it's opposite.
