Thiera

Thiera is a world of unique and numerous species and races, which all live amongside eachother. The many races each inhabit different regions on the 3 different continents, and interact with oneanother in distinctive ways.   The creation of the species and landscape of Thiera is dependent on a historic event: the Terawinter. Although different religions mention different details, the Terawinter was a catastrophic, world wide event. It came about due to the presence of an incredibly versatile metal (Antarite) which arrived on the planet within a meteorite. Collectively, the Antarite formed a conscience, which was responsible for the destruction of the past world.   The presense of antarite has had many impacts within Thiera. The most distinctive is the introduction of magic. Certain beings are able to manipulate the tiny amounts of antarite located within every material to cast spells and control the matter around them. The antarite is also responsible for the wide variety of unique creatures; high levels of antarite within the cells of creatures can result in increased mutations. As a result, diverse species specific to a certain location and environment have evolved, making the world of Thiera an unpredictable and dangerous place to live.
