ThyleaThylea is a small continent surrounded
on all sides by an ocean called the Forgotten
Sea. The natives of Thylea are Centaurs, cyclopes, gygans, nymphs, satyr's, and other fey
races. Thousands of Human settlers
arrived in Thylea five hundred years ago. There are numerous languages spoken and there is a specific clothing style.
The Laws of Thylea are extremely important.
- Sacred Oaths. Oaths are taken very seriously in Thylea. The
punishments for violating an oath are severe
- Mortal Curses. Breaking oaths or violating the laws of Thylea
may cause you to be afflicted by dreadful curses.
- Thylean natives. Centaurs, satyrs, nymphs, and other native
races live and work alongside the settler races. The
peace with their many tribes is precarious.

Thylea is named after the mother goddess who watches
over the continent. She and her husband, Kentimane the
Hundred Handed, bore many children. These ancient
gods form a pantheon called “the Titans.” The two most
powerful of their children are:
- Sydon, Lord of Storms. He is the ancient Titan who once ruled over Thylea,
long before the arrival of mortals. He seeks to dominate
the land once again—to be worshipped by all mortals.
He controls all the waters of Thylea, including the
weather, and sacrifices must be offered to him daily.
- Lutheria, Mistress of Death. She is the sister-wife of Sydon. She has dominion
over the underworld, and she seeks to corrupt mortals
and capture their souls for her own amusement. In spite
of this, she is honored by frequent sacrifices and wine
festivals throughout the land.
For many ages, Thylea was a wilderness of centaurs,
satyrs, cyclopes, and other creatures who worshipped
the Titans. Mortals who came to Thylea lived in small,
defenseless tribes—until the arrival of The Order of the Dragonlords.
The Dragonlords were an order of heroic, dragon-riding mortals who came to Thylea five centuries ago. They
initiated the First War against the Titans and defeated
their armies. Most of The Order of the Dragonlords and their dragons were killed during this conflict
When all seemed lost, the mortals of Thylea were saved
by the sudden appearance of the Five Gods, who walked
the land in mortal guise. They forced the Titans into a
temporary truce, called the Oath of Peace.
• Volkan, God of Forges
• Kyrah, Goddess of Music
• Mytros, Goddess of Dawn
• Pythor, God of Battle
• Vallus, Goddess of Wisdom
The Oath of Peace has prevented open warfare with
the Titans for five hundred years. But now, the truce
is ending. The power of the Five Gods wanes, and the
Titans prepare to wage war upon mortals once again.
The Oracle is a water nymph named Versi. She is
Thylea's most famous prophet, and she has recently had
a terrifying vision of the future. She has called for a band
of mortal heroes to join together to confront the Titans.
There are three major kingdoms in Thylea.
The Kingdom of Mytros was the first kingdom founded
by the Dragonlords. It is the largest city in all of Thylea
and the center of commerce, religion, and politics. The
ruler of Mytros is King Acastus, one of the last descendants of the Dragonlords.
The Kingdom of Estoria is an ancient stronghold that has resisted centuries of attacks by centaur's, cyclopes, manticores, and
other dangers which thrive in the steppes. The ruler of
Estoria is King @pythor, the God of Battle.
The Kingdom of Aresia has long been a rival to the
kingdom of Mytros. The two cities have been engaged
in dozens of wars over the last several hundred years,
which are collectively known as the Aresian campaigns.
The ruler of Aresia is Queen Helen.
You are one of the heroes who has been called by the
Oracle's prophecy to save the world from the tyranny
of the Titans. Whatever your personal background, be you a native or an outsider you
know that you are destined for greatness.
