* SpaceIsSleepy: The gods of the plane of Theros and their servants have fields of darkness filled with stars and nebulae covering every part of their bodies that would normally be in shadow (which serves a dual purpose, triune if you add "looking really cool", in that it serves as visual shorthand for "enchantment creature"). The mortal locals refer to this as being "infused with Nyx", Nyx being the [[TheSacredDarkness land of the night sky]] and the home of the gods which mortals visit through dreams.

Meanwhile, Pharika, a gorgon-like goddess in the ''Theros'' block, averts this by being a patron of healers and medicine alongside being a PoisonousPerson -- not that you'd want to get on her bad side regardless. Fittingly, she is the black/green god on Theros.

They're "born" as fully aware adults, but the solidified aether that makes up their bodies isn't stable and, from the moment of their birth, begins to dissolve back into the environment. Average aetherborn lifespans range from four years to as little as four weeks. Culturally, they're split into two camps about this: some accept their short lives and strive to savor and enjoy each moment that they have, while others vampirically drain life from other beings to sustain their crumbling bodies.
