Thessia

Thessia is a continent west of Umarald across the Sea of Dragons. In the Age of Knowledge it is controlled by the Era Empire while in the Age of Information it is an irradiated wasteland.

Description
Thessia is a large landmass situated directly west of the island of Andori. It is covered by mountains to the north and south, with great forests gradually turning into the great Thessian plain which hosts the cities of the human Era Empire. While technologically backward compared to the nations of Umarald in the Age of Knowledge the nation is vast and thus has numbers as well as its sophisticated magic to deal with any intruders.

No formal contact has been established with the empire but the possibilities of trade and exchange of knowledge have sparked the imagination of many lords and ladies. Era is however a strange land and quite different from everything else that is known. It is ruled by an upper class of mage-priest oligarchs following the god of Phyrgos. The people seem to belong to the same ethnic group as the nokhs, with whom they share many cultural similarities. So far they have treated visitors with a kind of curiosity not unlike what could be expected from a spoiled child given a new pet.
