What is Aether Curtain?
Crusader's Skies Aether Curtain: Attack on Castle Low IV-R is a return to an old-school play-by-post game that played a core part in bringing the Terra Firma community together. With the might of the Castle Low bearing down on you, it's up to you to help spearhead the revolution that frees the people from its tyrannic grasp. Or, is it...?
The game itself is quite simple: with the help of your friends, take on Castle Low's military strength in a turn-based fashion, similar to many role-playing games. As you progress through the castle, you'll meet fearsome opponents, and gain strength in the form of diverse equipment and abilities tailor-made to fit your strengths. With each fight, you'll come closer to the truth behind the power of the Castle Low, and closer to reclaiming the homeland you once knew.

What's new, what's different?
With a revisiting of the old comes an invitation of the new. Aether Curtain will feature a wholly original cast of characters, each with their own personality, strengths, weaknesses, virtues, flaws and life. With new characters comes new stories never told before, all of which breathe life into the world inside and outside of Castle Low. It also features a rebirth of the classic game-play formula, fine-tuned to allow for an easier-to-understand and quick-to-respond, but just as engaging and thought-provoking game system as the one used in the classics. These combined will allow the game to feel like an incredible journey through the wondrous fortress that is the Castle Low, mixed with an enticing arcade-like game experience that'll be sure to entertain and delight you.
Aether Curtain will also feature a deeper dive into the universe of the Castle Low, something only previously hinted at or brushed aside in previous works. As you progress, you'll learn more and more about its mysterious, about the story of both the Castle Low and its sibling the Castle High. And perhaps, you'll come across an even more closely guarded secret, one hidden behind the light of the stars...
