In the year 2023 AD, the advent of Aetholin changed the course of mankind forever. instantly rendering all fossil fuels obsolete almost literally overnight. Refined at the Aetholin plants all over the world, this miraculous substance fuels all of our vehicles, provides electricity to our homes, and is even used as an explosive. It’s distinctive yellow color was often confused with gasoline in it’s early years, leading to many vehicular explosions, due to their rough design.
Aetholin does not pollute the atmosphere, as some people might claim. Due to it’s nature as raw condensed energy, it only releases heat, light, and kinetic when burned. However, this also makes it toxic to all known life forms, often causing victims to age at an accelerated rate, and even to decompose within a few seconds of their death. It is undoubtedly the greatest creation of our era, thanks to the contributions from scientists around the world, although the final breakthrough is accredited to the genius Klaus Scienfeld, who was unfortunately killed in a terrorist attack shortly after his findings were completed.
So say the textbooks. But I know that they’re wrong. And the government leaders know they’re wrong. But they decided that the average person couldn’t accept the truth, and I’m fine by that. It means there are less people to come knocking on my door trying to figure out how to make Aetholin. But I still like to remind them who’s really in charge here, lest any of the human governments try something stupid, like that idiot Scienfeld. The idiot tried to make Sirithim and got Vampyres instead. Which is why I’m recording this. Can’t have the government’s lies as the only recorded history of the events surrounding the Aetholin Advent. I am Malachi Silver, creator of Aetholin, Patriarch of the Sirithim, and living Scion
