History
The rip shatters the sky above Thalosia. Evil spills forth into the city. At the same time, the rivers flow red with blood upon the city of Althainia and Arkane is nearly overrun with muck and mire. The peace that New Thalos has grown to know with all the Kingdoms and Clans across the lands is shattered, falling apart due to the evil works of the warp and Drakkara's minions moving to bind the world in darkness. The top of the Rip is now tethered by unholy chains and evil magics, binding powers there with various tapestries of all the evil kingdoms and clans. To this day they race and work to weave their own fate in the tapestry to completion.
Meanwhile, a set of Pilgrims find a joint cause upon the burnt out temple of Taliena in Tropica, tainted by the mark of Chaos in the air. After many hours of relentless work battling evil, Kantilles gathers power through the reflectors that were placed in holy places across the land. Gathering the power of prayers and the willpower of those who pray and put forth their good deeds to the mirrors. Kantilles gathers this power one fateful night, with Nadrik, saddened and driven to despair launches a mighty attack of the white pillars that strike upon the heart of where darkness lies, and even lighting up the black moon for a time.
Sultanate
Sultan: Felkur Felpip
Royal Vizier: Vacant
Wizard: Vacant Virtuoso: Hakku
Elder: Rahma General: Meki
During the Age of Nations, humans were lost and helpless as they were shunned by elves and dwarves due to the Fall from Grace. Ser'Pahn, a barbarian leader, organized the first human settlements in Serpantol, which included the Conclave and Shinalstin alliance. A wealthy merchant named Thaellor left Shinalstin to establish his own trading post in the less-explored frontier. A city rose around him, named after him: "Thaellor's", and the first city of Thalos was founded.
When the Draconus was split into five pieces and spread around the realm, a great war had broken out in attempts to steal the shards from their protectors. A great battle took place over Thalos, easily demolishing the merchant establishment.
The survivors were brought east along the trade routes to settle along the Ishtar River, where New Thalos stands today.
