THALESTRIS: A HISTORY

 

In a bygone era, the Unseelie creatures and Seelie fae coexisted in a realm marked by tranquility and concord. The Unseelie fae, wielding their arcane dominion, presided over a separate kingdom, while the Seelie Fae regarded them as inferior entities—aberrations tainted by the shadows cast by their ominous powers.

This was a realm where elemental magic clashed with the sinister forces of the shadows. 250 years ago the once-majestic Shadow Kingdom met its demise in a brutal act of genocide, razed to ashes, with its Queen meeting a tragic end in the flames. The grief-stricken Shadow King, consumed by fury and sorrow over the loss of his beloved wife, declared war in retaliation.

The ensuing conflict spanned a decade, a relentless struggle between the forces of light and darkness. The Unseelie Shadows, their numbers dwindling, faced annihilation, their remnants dispersed across the lands, erased from the cartography of Thalestris. Ultimately, the Seelie fae emerged triumphant, their victory echoing through the scars left by a war that forever altered the balance between magic and shadows in the mystical realms.

The Shadow Fae are now believed to be a myth. Boogeymen to scare children after dark.
