The Royalty of Tharia Princess Llana: Although one might expect it Llana is not related to King Firense. In the ways of Tharia, there is one supreme ruler over all races, usually gaining his or her position by extreme power. Other than this, there are a few prince and princess elected, like politicians in Tharia. Llana, being of supreme chastity and kindness, was given the Crown of Garma as a symbol of her beauty and grace, and loving ways of all races. She is a young princess, only about 16, who obtained the throne because she hoped she could bring a rebellion against Firense's ways, even though she was to late. She resides in Layor where she hopes to someday be Queen of Tharia. It is rumored she is half demi. King Firense: Firense took the throne 13 years ago, by persuading the princes and princesses of Tharia that his pocket made him best man for the job. With his skillful Preist Hasmied, he learned how to unlock Garma's special talents. Because the demi people are the guardians of the crown, and a threat, he killed them off by telling his people they are hostile and dangerous. His knights are still tracking down the last of the Arora, to prevent any new demis from being born. Preist Hasmied High Preist Hasmied is the most powerful Preist in Tharia, and works at the palace. He himself is not corrupted like many others, and worships the Goddesses, making him a human outcast. When Firense learns that Hasmied knows how to unleash Garma's power, he employs the odd Preist immedietly. Hasmied was tortured by Firense, until he told him this: "To unleash Garma, one must take the crown in his hands, and take Garma's guardian. Worship Vesi and Aria, can call them to you, you must, you must be careful. Vesi is spiteful these days." These were the last words Hasmied spoke, but he lives still, and has become a mute, hoping he can never give anymore information. Important Events War of the Corrupted/Simedsevle War: This was the first major war caused by the humans. The Humans tresspassed on Elvish lands to hopefully take more for themselves for their growing population. The elves became incredibly annoyed for they had lived there for many many years and strongly felt a connection with the earth. They had seen how humans cut down trees and ruined their lands and hurt the animals that lived on them. This caused the elves to fight against the humans, unsucessfully. The elves, though very strong, were often suprised and their lands were torched and burned. Many many elves were left homeless, the began to die out. The Demi saw this, the terror among the elven people. The feared that if the humans suceeded, their lands were next. Although they had strong defence, they did not want their lands to die, they were thankful for them. So the Demi joined and fought alongside the elves, creating a great alliance between the ancient peoples, and helping to form the neutrality between the races. The elves and demis, reffered to as the Simedsevle beat back the humans and threw them off lands. The humans however began to take Demi lands while they were off fighting. This really pissed the Demi off, resulting in their destructive power. The unique power of the Demi caused utter chaos in the land. Their great forms squashed towns and their uncontrolable anger was taken out on the humans who dared to mess with the greatest of races. So, the humans, beat and scared, retreated, and with them, the elves convinced that they too, the Simedsevle should as well. And thus they did, all returning to their lands, still angry, accept for the elves who were weeping over their killed trees. This began the human hatred for Demi. Crown of Garma Garma:The crown of Garma, is an ancient jewel, supposed to be direct from the Goddesses. According to Legend, Garma was the Queen Goddess, creator of Vesi and Aria, but her life was taken so Aria and Vesi could make new. The crown gives it's possesor power to control the two Goddesses, although it is usually thought to be a bunch of folk tales. For more information, see the First Chapter of The Book of Iero. |
