Wonders of The First: Origins Pt. 4 & 5 – Aetherstorms & Stoneseekers
Greetings Stoneseekers!
We are halfway through our Kickstarter campaign! Thanks for your support and passion for the project. We recognize that Wonders of The First is a bold new CCG that is blazing trails and we couldn’t have come this far in our wild adventure without you. So keep the feedback and ideas coming!
We’ve been delighted to see the crazy new combos and strategies you’re creating from the downloadable print and play demo decks. It’s especially cool to watch you play real-time (from all over the world ) via the fan-made tabletop simulator that is live streamed every day of the week in our Discord. Very soon we will be releasing more gameplay demos and new gameplay content. We can’t wait to see what you create next…
For today, we’re wrapping up the Origins series with Part 4 (Aetherstorms) and Part 5 (Stoneseekers).
Part 4 – Aetherstorms
Aetherstorms are not just weather—they are ruptures in the fabric of existence.
When Formless Energy surges beyond control, it gathers, spirals, and tears through an Orbital in a chaotic, violent storm.
Most people run when they see one.
But some—some run toward them.
Because at the heart of every Aetherstorm is something valuable. Sometimes, it’s a Formweaver born from the chaos. Sometimes, it’s an artifact older than time. Sometimes… it’s something hungry.
The storms are unpredictable—some merely crackle with energy, while others rip through the sky with the force of a god’s wrath. There are those who claim to predict them, but only Formweavers and Orbital Walkers can truly feel where one will strike.
And sometimes, when a storm is at its peak… a portal appears.
A momentary rip between Orbitals. A doorway to another world.
Most who walk through never return.
Some say the storms are tests. Some say they’re a curse. And some believe, truly believe that the storms are not just random bursts of power.
They are trying to tell us something.
PART 5 – STONESEEKERS
A Stoneseeker is not just a hunter of relics. They are something more.
They are the Formerweavers who feel the pull of the Formless Stones. Who step into the unknown, despite the risk, despite the stories. Who reach for something they know they might never return from.
And they do not walk alone.
Every Stoneseeker has the ability to summon Wonders—manifestations of memory, emotion, and raw Formless Energy. These spectral allies are more than weapons, more than shields.
They are pieces of the past, given shape.
They are pieces of the past, given shape.
Some summon echoes of lost warriors. Others bring forth creatures they once feared—or once loved. The strongest Stoneseekers can even shape entire histories into form, bending reality itself.
But the Stones are dangerous.
Gathering enough fragments to reassemble a Formless Stone is a step closer to true power—or total ruin.
Some seek the Stones for knowledge. Some for dominance. And some… for something deeper.
Because in every Stoneseeker, there is a void.
And the closer they come to the truth, the more they begin to wonder—will the Stones fill it… or will they become it?
