Only future expansions will tell us (i really wanna know every era).

And aether can be toxic, example one all the zombies from pharos sirius they are aether poisoned pirates not tempered by leviathan. In cnj story if i remember correctly the girl went down with a fever for having too much aether inside herself. So it can be a cause, maybe not but i like my speculation :P
