Theia

Theia is the sixth planet from the Sun, and is the thirteenth largest and most massive terrestrial planet in the Solar System. Additionally, it is the second most populated planet in the Solar System, having only around three-quarters that of Yata. Theia is roughly 26% terrestrial, with the remaining 74% being made up of oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and ice caps.
Theia has seen four main chapters in its history. The pre-cataclysm eon, which in terms of Yatan years, was everything up to and including 276 BCE, was dominated by the elemental lands, however features of modern Theia still survive from this era, such as Ingalina. During this time, elemental flux was at its highest, meaning powers deriving from elements were easier to harness. 
The cataclysm eon, which in terms of Yatan years, was from 276 BCE to 115 CE. This eon was dominated by Theia's rogue trajectory after the Hydro God, Nihilantis, was possessed and turned on Theia. Thus, the Hydro people (the Iujado) of Aquilae used technology to eject Theia towards the Yata system. This era was marked by a severe downturn in elemental flux, and elemental powers were almost unusable. 
The post-cataclysm eon, or the Elemental Resurgence, which in terms of Yatan years, was from 115 CE to 239 CE. This eon was marked by sociopolitical change, as Theian societies moved from its traditional elemental roots towards the idea of modern nation states imported from Yata. Elemental flux had since increased as the planet slowly healed from its freezing, but the flow of elemental energy had only been seen in a few areas, namably in the former Treimaria, Gensokyo and Lilaci'ah. which had since become the nation states of Tritonien, Gensokyo and Lilaciah respectively. The "Elemental Resurgence" occurred in this eon, resurrecting all members of the Nine Gods of Theia for a short period, culminating in a battle against the self-proclaimed deity of Polsk, Miraak.
The human eon, which in terms of Yatan years, was from 239 CE onwards. This eon marked the end of elemental flux, marking the first true point in Theia's history where humans were fully dominant over the scene. Continuing from the previous eon, Polsk and the Theian Republic had become major political influences, with the nations of Osania, Iujadogia, Gensokyo and Lilaciah also having significant influence. This period was especially marked by constant war in the Orientalis region.
== Pre-Cataclysm Era ==
Pre-cataclysm Theia has often been referred to as it's ancient history, however Theian technology has not advanced as much since. Instead, new technologies have been sourced from the void-energy rich Yata, which has used the energy to produce said technologies. Void energy itself is abundant on Theia, but it was never harnessed the same was as Yatans did. Instead, void energy has been seen pulsating in elemental hotspots such as Lilaciah.
=== Elemental Nations ===
It is known that the divine have a real presence on Theia, and that there are 9 major gods, or "archons", that preside over 9 elemental lands, with the ninth archon presiding on Doluro. Out of all of these lands, only five survived the Cataclysm, of which only three continued practicing elemental magic by the time Tenno returned; those being Treimaria, Lilaci'ah, and Gensokyo. Kanar lived on as Q'nar (Later becoming Kanar once more) and Aquilae as Iujadogia, but both have since somewhat shed their legacy, while the remaining lands are presumed to be extinct to a certain extent.
Since around 240 CE however, the power of the Archons had completely diminished, leaving Tenno as the sole survivor, albeit without her powers.

=== The Bejrik-Kanar War ===
The Bejriks, a technologically more advanced species native to Theia's Moon, Doluro arrived on Theia in 601 BCE and befriended most of the native nations. This however angered Kanar, which saw the Bejrik Order as intruders to their homeworld, which was eventually twisted by previous distrust of Kanar's war-like nature and their newfound animosity towards the Bejriks into the Bejrik-Kanar War in 456 BGS.
The Bejrik Order had formed alliances with the other nations before the beginning of the war, leading to Kanar additionally launching invasions into the other nations in order to kick out any and all Bejrik settlements and mining outposts. These conquests were extremely brutal, with high civilian casualities especially in the Gensokyo Campaign. After several centuries of constant fighting against the entire planet, the outnumbered Kanar slowly began to lose. In 297 BGS the Kanaran capital was occupied by the Bejrik-lead coalition, the rest of the nation soon following in its complete defeat in 283 BGS.

== Geography ==
=== Continents ===
Theia is divided into 3 continent sbased off of geographic deperation. Jalia is thecontinent which makes up Theia's vast southern archipeligos with a very tropical climate. Panthein is a continent loked in the temperioture extremes of western Theia going from steppes to plains to tundras. Panthein used to be a term for the entirety of Theia which wasn't jalia but this has been recently updated to be just the western half. Deshret is the third continent located in the east of Theia which is primarily very humid and hot with deserts and jungles. Despite this they also have the very cold Nislandian Mountains.
=== Regions ===
Theia is divided into many regions. These regions have been created to differentiate where different locations of Theia are and are roughly based upon ecological boundaries. Regions are a more common form of identifying areas than Continents are due to the broad terms of the continents of Theia. The regions have occasionally undergone updates so definitions have changed somewhat overtime.

=== Bodies of Water ===
Theia is made up of many Seas, Oceans, Rivers and Lakes. Many of them them are culturally significant or have alot of population. the Savalon river has always been very important to the Q'Narvans due to it being their homeland and the Naktun being the lifeblood of the indigenous Tritons in the north of the continent. Alongside every other body of water bringing its own benefits.

=== "Civilised" Theia ===
Civilised Theia is a informal name for the regions of the planet under the control of some sort of local nation state or other government or association. A majority of Theia's population resides in such regions, but still to this day only 43.6%As of 377 of Theia is under the rule of such an institution.
=== Theian Outback ===
The Theian Outback is an informal name for the roughly 56.3% of the planet located outside of any government or other institution. Only a fraction of Theia's population resides in this area, as the lack of continious government-provided support can make life out in these regions tough as technology and progress spreads into these regions much slower. Despite this, several communities exist out in the Theian Outback, thriving either by chance or by specialising into the sale of illegal products.
