One of the oldest settlements of Sapience, Thera is a town now laid to rubble after Vertani Magelords rained firey meteors upon it. It is renowned as the birthplace of Nicator and was a busy, prosperous town.
Geography
The town of Thera lies south of Ashtan, Bastion of the North and north of the Black Forest. Yggdrasil, the World Tree, rises prominently to the west. Setting up shop in the shadow of the World Tree and just southwest of North of New Thera is Seasone, a Druid who helpfully refills various concoctions for adventures. A ways east of Thera is the land of Minia and Vellis, the butterfly collector.
History
In the year 263 AF, the city-state of Ashtan began to look to her southern neighbor for annexation. The Sentinels Guild was one of the few guilds to pledge its support of a free Thera. It should be noted that though Ashtan may have attempted to annex the town, they have remained allies, before and since.
The Vertani Magelords rained firey meteors down upon Thera in the year 385 AF in a fit of retaliation, razing the town to the ground and annihilating all everyone within its confines. The only survivor was Enfrin, the woodcutter, whose abode dwells closer to the Black Forest and thus missed the meteors that bombarded the town.
On Mayan, 396 AF, the first public library, the Lucretian Athenaeum, opened in the ruins of eastern Thera.
Within the ruins of Thera lies a mansion belonging to a woman known as Maim de Vermiis, who longs to have her dearly departed nephew with her once more.
