Description: Thanatos was long a land of violence and
turmoil. It was once divided between two separate kingdoms of humans and elves,
which constantly fought against each other. Both sides were unable to gain an
advantage over the other, and for hundreds of years the two groups remained in
a bloody deadlock. This was until a half-elven man named Eledyr came along.
Eledyr was all too familiar with the pain these wars could cause, with him
having lost most of his family from the genocide of the much-hated half-elves.
He began a quest to end the wars once and for all, seeking tools and knowledge.
He eventually came to the Roost to seek guidance from the Dragonlords, where he
met with an Ancient black dragon. The dragon was impressed with Eledyr’s
outstanding moral character, but ultimately murdered him in cold blood anyways.
Or at least, that is what the dragon thought. Eledyr was brought back to life
by the God Bahamut, for he was seen as the only chance of a lasting peace
between the races. Eledyr, now imbued with the power of a God, took for his
sigil a black dragon as a way to signify the power that he commanded. He
managed to fragment the human and elven kingdoms and forcibly took their
kingdoms by sheer military might when they could not be convinced otherwise.
Eledyr became a just, fair, and pragmatic king who was marred by his encounter
with such blatant disregard for life earlier on. After somehow pacifying the
millennia-long conflict, establishing a massive empire, and singlehandedly
beating off nearly 50 separate assassination attempts, Eledyr left the land to
his daughter and set off to find the island only known as The Fountain. He was
never seen nor heard from again. From then on, his successors have gradually
expanded Thanatos’s territory with varying degrees of success. Their
warmongering has often made them disliked by the rest of the world, but they
tend not to care. They are the most powerful independent country in Maraldia,
and many times not even massive coalitions have been unable to beat them. Many
may question Thanatos’s integrity, but few remain who still challenge its
might.
