With 1.23b, the Aetherytes that Atomos first appeared at in 1.23a are now over-aspected. In addition, Atomos can now be fought at these camps.

In 1.23b, there are also new camps where Atomos shows up to seemingly "Over-Aspect" the Aetherytes.

The question is why? Is there a reason he's targeting these specific Aetherytes? Did the developers pull camps out of a hat?

I went ahead and mapped out the following-
-Over-Aspected Camps
-Camps Atomos is currently attempting to over aspect
-Unaffected Aetherytes
-Regions where we know Aetherytes are located in A Realm Reborn



Presumably the camps that Atomos is working on over-aspecting right now will eventually turn into the same orange/red Aetherytes that can already be seen in a few areas. We also know that in the concept art for ARR that there are unhinged or floating Aetheryes. So it would make sense then that some of these Aetherytes where Atomos currently resides will be these floating Aetherytes.

However it's not that easy. There are two areas where there are known Aetherytes for ARR. A location near Mun-Tuy and the area around Black Brush. Currently Atomos is working to over-aspect the Aetherytes at those locations. If there are blue Aetherytes here in 5 years does that mean that Atomos failed? Or perhaps they're man made? The ARR Aetherytes DO look different after all.
