<!--Note that the draft version of Aether of Night is not canon, so this article only covers the mention of aether in The Stormlight Archive and associated WoBs-->
'''Aethers''' are a manifestation of [[Investiture]] in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|14031}} Their source is unknown, but they presumably originate on an unrevealed planet.{{wob ref|13971}}{{wob ref|8618}} A piece of aether is seen on [[Roshar]] alongside other Investiture-related artifacts.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}}{{wob ref|12314}}
* Aethers originated in the unpublished novel ''[[Aether of Night]]''. Elements of the novel have already been repurposed into other works,{{wob ref|8206}} and it would be completely rewritten before the world is introduced to the cosmere.{{sots ref|2017}} Aethers and their home planet are confirmed to exist, but the details have not been canonized.{{wob ref|12512}}{{wob ref|14031}}{{wob ref|13971}}
* Aethers are the only "major" magic system that has not yet been used extensively in any cosmere work.{{wob ref|14031}}
* The planet where aethers originate is not central to the overall cosmere arc.{{wob ref|14520}} Brandon has not decided how many aether novels he will write or where to fit them into the cosmere release timeline. He has considered doing a trilogy towards the end of the cosmere sequence,{{sots ref|2019}} but he may need to introduce the magic system sooner in a novel or novella since it is relevant to other planets.{{wob ref|14457}} Aethers claim to not be native to any one world.{{wob ref|15136}}
* Aethers are expected to be "relevant to space-age cosmere".{{wob ref|14429}}
