T'Roa

The World of T'Roa is one of 4 planets in the Salzair trinary star system. It has 6 landmasses on it, and is surrent home to seven species of humanoid natives. It is the location of most of the Series in the EC Universe, including "Windfire the Flamium"(and spin-offs), "Total Warriors" and "The TKs".

The complete orbit of the planet around the Trinary Stars takes 173 Days, which is composed of seven months, and days last for 31 hours. In comparison to a year on Earth, one year on T'Roa equals five Earth years.

## **Locations**

### **Kater**

The central landmass on T'Roa, also known as "Fireball Island", is the central location of the "Windfire" series, as well as the spin-off series of "Camo the Metalloid Hero", "Warper the Mercenary", "Speed Demon" and "Iceflame"(of the Old EC Universe).

It's native people, the Katerians, have a strong belief in the Seven Spirit Gods of T'Roa, which are mostly referred to as the "Katerian Spirit Gods". Ancient Katerian is one of the oldest languages on T'Roa, believed to be the original spoken language as well.

During the Great War against Destructo, Flame(Windfire) and his allies saved Kater from the majority of the Darkness that was trying to take over the land.

Kater has several geographic locations that are featured throughout the older Comic series, that play a role in the first 3-Part Story Line: "The Fire in the Dark" on Amazon. These include "New Flame", the capitol city(named after the heroic Flamium), as well as the Temple of Flame(built to honor the hero), the Burned Forest, and the village of Tallar(Warper's home)

### **Caxler Island**

Home to the Caxlerian people, as well as birth place of several heroes throughout the series. Also the location where Flame(Windfire) and Camo arrived, via a Void Portal, and met Speed Demon, and other rebels fighting against Destructo and his dark armies.

### **The Veloran Continent**

A divided continent, populated mostly by Velorans, a reptilian-like species, and the Nitronians, a nearly wiped-out civilization that shares ancestry with the early Katerians.

#### **Velora**

The central location in "The TKs"(short for "The True Kind") Series, home of Ripster, Blaster, X-Ray, King Titus, and thousands of other native Velorans.

During the Great War, the TKs fought against and defeated the Dark Sorcerer, Skul, but at great cost, as most of the TKs were killed or gravely injured. Ripster and Blaster were separated and had to find whatever allies they could. Eventually running into Lightning, but also a few old foes, including a crazed assassin named Phazer, and a former member of "The Brethren of the Blade"; Slasher(who'd turned evil, thanks to Destructo and Skul's Dark Alliance).

#### **Nitron**

In the northeast portion of the Veloran Continent, taking only 22% of the land, is the land of Nitron, once home to the Nitronians, who were all but wiped-out centuries earlier. During the time of "Takai Riphius", a Sorcerer that wielded immense power, as well as the "Staff of Kazar", a great battle between the "Ruler", a former ally and friend of Riphius, tried to take over the land, while turning Nitron into a dark and dismal land.

In later issues of the original TKs series (old EC Universe), Ripster discovered his true destiny was to find and wield the Staff of Kazar, and was eventually sent back in time, via a "Temporal Void Portal". He arrived in Ancient Nitron, and found himself joining forces with the "Disciples of Riphius"; Kaxius, Maliax, and Talmium. As the series, "Takai Riphius the Chosen One" took shape, it turned out that Ripster was in fact THE Riphius, as his destiny was to become the founding member of the TKs.

### **Etol**

The northern-most landmass on T'Roa, and home of the "Total Warriors: Alpha Squad" animated series. In the years of the Great War, Etol was at the center of the attacks by the Mercenary Hive, and the Total Warriors led the defense of the land.

Even though the wars ended, the capitol city, Etolium, as well as most of the villages and cities, were nearly decimated.

### **Dralar**

Home of the Dralarians, a more advanced culture. They have a deep connection to the Spirit Gods, and once lived alongside one of the Seven Spirit Gods, Elemus(the Spirit God of the Elements). During his time as a corporeal being, Elemus left an ancient relic known as the "Blade of Destiny".

This relic was used by a skilled swordsman to found the "Brethren of the Blade", and set he became the first Ruler of Dralar. His ancestor, "Blade" was sent to Earth, via Void, where he soon was found by Dr. Irving J. Keller.

### **Marhal**

A more savage and brutal people, the Marhalians, unlike the rest of T'Roa, often fought amongst themselves, as they had lost most of their beliefs in the Spirit Gods. A small number of Marhalians joined against the ruling clan, the "Marhalis", and caused the final change in rule.

The leader, Tiklonis, the great-great grandfather of Razor, turned the land into one of alliance. But instead of a peaceful future, Tiklonis wanted war. He attacked Velora and Nitron, but Takai Riphius and his disciples were able to defeat Tiklonis' army.

For the following century, Marhal has been in chaos. With the only thing keeping its people stable, is war.

## S**pecies of T'Roa and the Evolution of the Population**

The Evolution of the several native species of T'Roa has been riddled with wars, famines, and other natural and unnatural events in the course of the planet's History. Since the word was formed along with the
Beginning with the creation of the planet by the T'Roan Spirit Gods of Light, the first three species on the world were the Katerians, the Kossians, and the Repscalians. The Katerians and Kossians were closer in genetic and physical design, whereas the Repscalians were a reptilian and more primitive species.

### **Katerians\***

The more evolved species(looking more like Earthling-like Humanoids) predating the Kossians by millennia in their discovery and use of such things as tools, fire, weapons, and the first small tribal communities. They soon established a peace-central society, which became the basis for the lives of most of T'Roans to this day.

Amongst their greatest accomplishments was the invention of Ancient Katerian(more commonly known as Ancient T'Roan)--a language used to write such works as the "Flamium Archives" and the Scriptures on the Spirit Gods. After 3 millennia, the Katerians who had grown on the Islands of Kater and Caxler, soon spread. But not after their evolutionary twins, the Kossians, began to develop themselves. As the Katerians spread, some evolved into the earliest Caxlerians and Nitronians.

### **Kossians\*\*\***

The second original T'Roan species, one with cranial ridges and other distinctive features. A more feral and violent species, the exact opposite as the Katerians. As the Kossians took their place on the continents of Velora and Marhal, they took to tribal wars and soon were split into 18 sects. The most powerful sects, claiming dominance over the lesser, established a Caste system: Ruling, War, and Gatherers.

After centuries of this system, the Sects soon eliminated themselves by constant brutal war and beyond. Two millennia before the "Age of Kings", the Kossians who had grown in power, attacked their neighboring species, the Katerians and early Caxlerians. Losses of tremendous portion were felt on either side, but the Kossians who had survived returned to Marhal, and all but died out. Their ancestors genetically are the Etolians and Marhalians.

### **Repscalians(T'Roan)**

Though they share the name of the Iglesian Order species, the T'Roan Repscalians were a more evolved and peaceful people. Several millennia into their history, the species had developed space travel--the first T'Roans to do so. An early Caste system was developed--Science was the key to their civilization on Etol and on a fleet of seafaring vehicles that coursed T'Roa.

After developing warp flight, the Repscalians left T'Roa. After separating mid-journey through interstellar space, they landed on the Iglesian Order worlds of Feruhntia and Nashar, as well as making it as far as Hatar in the Tolarian System. The few remaining Repscalians soon evolved into two separate species--the Velorans and the Lizarians.

### **Caxlerians\***

The most-closely related species to the early Katerians. The distinction being no visible noses or ears. Caxlerians played their own part in the evolution of four other T'Roan species, over the passage of time. Caxlerians, a mostly peaceful species, through a connection to the energies of the Trinary Stars the world orbits, were able to gain and master certain supernatural abilities--including telepathy and superhuman speed.

### **Marhalians\***

The closest evolutionary relative to the original Kossians, retaining more distinct features, and their evolutionary ancestors. Keeping the genetic traits, as well as their ideology of war of violence. Marhalians were the first species to declare war against all other T'Roans, making their land fully independent from the eventual line of T'Roan Kings, specifically the House of Magnus.

Their own branching of the evolutionary tree led to the evolution of another species, the Etolians. The history of the Marhalians, however, has been riddled with war--rather between rival clans, or by invading Etol or Dralar.

### **Velorans\***

A direct descendant of evolution to the Repscalians.Their green skin and no visible ears make them the most unique species in the evolution of T'Roa. Living on the second-largest land mass, the Velorans took a page from the Katerians, and adopted a life of peace early on. Before and after the "Age of Kings", the Veloran Line of Royalty had kept the land at peace for millennia.

Their closest genetic relative through their evolution is the Lizarians, a species that all-but died out in millennia earlier. Most Velorans still live on the Veloran Continent.

### **Dralarians\***

Evolutionary, the last unique species on T'Roa. They are a descendant of Nitronians and Etolians. As they began to migrate to the land they later named Dralar, the Dralarians began to honor and dedicate themselves to following the T'Roan Spirit Gods. Particularly the God of Elements, Elemus, and the Goddess of Time and Space, Sahria.

### **Nitronians\***

A species of T'Roa that followed their own path, and was the first to colonize the Veloran Continent, predating the Velorans and Lizarians by several millennia. The Nitronians were originally a exploratory tribe, and within a few centuries had founded colonies across most of Nitron and northwest Velora.

But disaster struck in the form of great continental famine and war between themselves and early Repscalians and Marhalians. Most of the Nitronian land was turned desolate, and their capitol became swept up by the deserts. By the year 1092, Nitron lay in waste, and only a few survivors remained in the small encampment of South Nitron and the Berian Mountains and Desert.

### **Etolians\***

Like their Kossian predecessors, and unlike the Marhalian cousins, the Etolians, taking refuge on the planet's northern-most continent. Millennia of building and expanding their ways of farming, science and defenses--the Etolians became one of the more respected people's on T'Roa.

Through the millennia, the Etolians continued to celebrate the Spirit Gods, and became a safe haven for the Total Warriors.

### **Lizarians\*\***

The second species to evolve from the original Repscalian peoples of T'Roa, though an offshoot due to retaining their long scaled tails--a feature that made them nearly outcast by their Veloran cousins. Most of the several hundreds-of-thousands of Lizarians were forced to live in the Veloran Mountains and the small refuge towns of Victal and Dirsal.

By the turn of the modern era of T'Roa, nearly all Lizarians had been wiped out due to a genetic disease, leaving only a few thousand alive in communities on Velora and Caxler.
