====== Aetheric Energy Control ======

Aetheric Energy Control, or AEC, is a powerful governmental body tasked solely with the prevention of energy generation through aetheric means. 

=== Goal ===

Although there is no official reasoning for this directive, it is widely believed through myths and legends that [[genesis|Genesis]] took place after elites usurped a higher power by attempting to harvest secret pockets of Aether in "sinful" ways. Others believe it is simply a power play, as successful generation technology would inevitably leak to the public and provide vast power to many factions.

=== Scope ===

AEC is potentially the most unregulated body in the [[kingdom_of_ivykeep|kingdom]]. They have near unlimited budget and manpower, and often use deadly force to uphold its tasks.
