Aetherium is the sustenance of Gear Knights [1] and essential to create or activate Gear Knights [2] [3], with the Aetherium Power Core being described as the "heart of a Gear Knight. [4] [5]
History
On E24-3865B
Aetherium was found in large amounts on the homeworld of the Gear Knights and held responsible for the large mana flows on their world. [1] When the Empyrean researchers opened a portal to this world, they discovered these characteristics, and samples of Aetherium were acquired and sent to the Collegium Occultus for further study. Their studies in creating spells to track the materials interaction with their world's Mana Flows have actually identified a few sparse deposits of Aetherium on Auberean, apparently from falling comets colliding with this world. [1]
On Dereth
Because of the scarcity of Aetherium in Dereth, the Gear Knights erected large walls to direct the mana flows. [6]
Rulers
Culture
Interesting to note is that though the Gear Knights come from a world laden in magic, they do not use much magic, nor are they reliant on much more than small shards of Aetherium, which seem integral to their function. Though, unlike the Motes in the Empyrean Golems, these 'Power Cores' seem to only provide sustenance to their body, and are depleted of their power in time. Also to note, if you remove this Power Core from a Gear Knight, it falls into a dormant state, but can be reawakened by applying a new core. They are similar to the Empyrean Golems in that manner.
