Thalyn

The God-Empress of the Andromesian Empire. A wise, eternal ruler to some, a manipulative tyrant to others. Both would be accurate descriptors she would agree with.

Her death called in the beginning of The Second Age. She was countless years old by the time of her death, predating the Empire she ruled.

During her reign, she was revered as a goddess and as empress, but her following declined during the great war at the end of The First Age. After her death, she is no longer revered as a goddess active in the world.

There is, however, a church that still reveres her memory. They believe she died for the sake of the Andrim race, and that they are her chosen people. These puritan people are only concerned with the welfare of Andrim, and a disturbing amount are willing to go to great lengths to make sure they have it. Their ultimate goal is to resurrect the Andromesian Empire in all its splendor.

 **Spoiler**
Part of the Triumvirate of Arthe, together with Odarin and Otharael.
The Goddess of Creation, she is responsible for the emergence of all new human races, even those that appeared after the death of her physical form.

She is the younger half-sister of Odarin, and the effective mother of Otharael.

She grew up in A World Forgotten, on a sanctuary amid a dying world, where she was one of the prodigies trained for a specific purpose—Ending, and saving, the world. The other prodigies were her older brother, and four other companions—Ronald, Sarah, Morgan, and Finn.
After they were forced to perform the ritual they had been trained for, she went into a magical stasis for eons as the world was being remade.

When she awoke from her slumber, she set out to follow up on what her brother had set in motion. She found a world made of a living plant core surrounded by water, holding continents up with massive branches, and in its skies it was protected by Dragon Moons, keeping outside dangers at bay. The world's atmosphere encapsulated the great moons within it, with great clouds between them and the world.

She landed her vessel on the planet, and revived a large group of humans by using the beings that were created for this purpose—the Oradim. She guided them to an archipelago where she settled down and eventually created an empire where she reigned as an eternal Empress. Due to her vast power, she could greatly slow her body's ageing. She did this in order to guide the evolution of the newly awakened humans, so that they would become plentiful in their capabilities and variety. She urged her subjects to explore and settle this new world, knowing that those she secretly selected to go together would develop certain traits, and would eventually become something not quite human. While this would've taken many millennia to achieve, because they were made from the magical Oradim, these changes came about much quicker. The great dragons had done similar things when they were restoring the world's natural lifeforms in the eons before she woke from stasis, so that the flora and fauna would be capable of adapting itself more efficiently.

After the humans spread, multiplied, adapted, and changed, her last act would be to make sure the original humans would have a place in the world, through the acts of two of her subjects—Mathon and Guidhien—and to plan for her departure from her physical shell and leave the world to the third and final stage of the ritual. She expected the war that came, anticipated what happened to her companion Finn after his death and revival by his wife Morgan, and closed her chapter with the world traumatised by her departure. She joined her brother Odarin as they left behind pieces of themselves in the form of Otharael, the dual-entity that would preserve the world from the side-lines.
