One of the oldest settlements of [[Sapience]], '''Thera''' was a town that was once laid to rubble after [[Vertani]] Magelords rained fiery meteors upon it. It was renowned as the birthplace of [[Nicator]] and was a busy, prosperous town. In more recent years, the town of '''New Thera''' has been rebuilt from the ashes. It was discovered during the [[Mayaween]] celebrations starting in 463 AF that the ruins of '''Old Thera''', complete with the [[undead]] villagers of Thera past, had been translocated to [[Griesly family manor]]. | One of the oldest settlements of [[Sapience]], '''Thera''' was a town that was once laid to rubble after [[Vertani]] Magelords rained fiery meteors upon it.
