Thallian Important Events

## **Thallian Genocide**

### King Francis Dekard

Thallian, dark as it is, has always been relatively peaceful within its borders. Peaceful in regards to the way the people stand united together and loyal to the crown. But it wasn’t always this way.  Back before the line of rule rested solely with a Queen, Thallian was ruled by a man - a King. King Francis Deckard was his name and he was as ruthless, perhaps more reckless and emotional, than any future Thallian Queen.

While in power King Dekard deemed it is sole mission to eradicate any heroes or guardians within its borders. Hundreds of people were killed for what the King deemed “heroic acts” - some were even innocent children. All for the supposed crime of being a hero or a guardian, it is an even darker stain on Thallian’s already dark history.

## **Thallian Revolution**

The people rose up and with them a new Queen, Queen Vivienne Scarlette, took power - the Department of Balance was created. Other than the assassination of King Dekard and his personal guard, it was a relatively bloodless coup.

## Optional History

### **Coup of Queen Zephora Lichefield**

**Thallian Civil War**

With Queen Scarlette dethroned in a relatively quiet takeover rumours begin to circulate about the coup and the new rules, Queen Zephora Lichefield. Queen Lichefield, of course, encouraged these rumours as she assumed her new role as monarch and dictator of Thallian. Sometime in late Bleost Vivienne sent word to Queen of the time Evelyn Bell in Relarian about the coup and the ensuing civil war breaking out in Thallian. The people begin to fight amongst themselves, the concept of standing united lost as they squabbled and fought over little things. Queen Lichefield used this to her advantage and began ordering the various government departments to withdraw contact with the other kingdoms as she prepared the Navy and Kulaxe for war. She refused any diplomatic contact and any diplomats sent into Thallian lands are captured and either killed or imprisoned - never to be seen again.

Even as the Thallian Navy began to make attacks against Everagil and attempted incursions into Relarian and Caivia were attempted the queen began work on her real plan and target; Hawthorne School. Using a family that had long supported her in claiming the throne for herself.

Queen Lichefield accepted the couples offer of their telepath daughter **Farrah Townsend** in her plans to take over Hawthorne. After some very persuasive and cruel methods the Queen managed to force Farrah to become her spy and sent her off to Hawthorne with a special magical crystal that would enable the girl to use Chaos magic.

Farrah was instructed to gather intelligence and resources that would enable the new queen to take over the prestigious school. However, not being a trained spy (and not really wanting to hurt the people she had come to call friends) Farrah’s acts were soon discovered even as she had been locked into the school by Jasper Tremain’s barrier spell. Getting panicked that even where she was she would be killed by the queen, that her new friends would get hurt, Farrah became frantic and began to become more reckless in her attempts to gather information. This all culminated in her capture.

### **Reclamation of Queen Scarlette**

Meanwhile, as Farrah Townsend infiltrated the school, Vivienne Scarlette began the moves that would enable her to retake control of the kingdom from Queen Lichefield. There was a brutal battle in which Zephora and many of her followers are killed but in the end Queen Scarlette was reinstated as monarch and dictator of Thallian.
