Hyperborea

**Hyperborea**, along with the **Isle of Thule**, were one of several nations in the antediluvian world. The two provinces were located far to the north of the planet: Hyperborea was in what is now Siberia and northern Russia, while Thule was situated on the island of Iceland.

Both nations were destroyed by the Flood, but their mage society, at least their teachings, have survived to the present day.

## Overview

### Location and Geography

Both Hyperborea and the island of Thule were situated in the extreme north of the planet, almost reaching the arctic pole. Because of this, both regions are extremely cold and inhospitable, inhabited only by their natives, the Hyperboreans.

Hyperborea is bordered by the Sea of ​​Ice to the north, the Sea of ​​Kitezh to the east, Thuatha and Bjarma to the south, and Einhgard to the west. The Isle of Thule is bordered by the Sea of ​​Ice to the north, Einhgard to the east/southeast, and the Sea of ​​Telluria to the south and west.

### Society

Both regions are inhabited by the Hyperboreans and Thulians, people isolated from the rest of the world who did not accept foreigners very well in their lands. They wanted to exert unique control over the world, so they began sending spies to all nations to spread their influence. Since then, their main enemies have been the barbarians of Einhgard, whose people they harassed with their mystical experiences.

During the Ice Age, they hid in the mountains, where they were protected from ice and snow, but their appearance changed: they became taller, slender and very white, practically being considered as a new human ethnicity. After the thaw, the Hyperborean sorcerers found Metatron's obelisks, which channeled Earth's telluric energy, called vril by them, and began to study and worship them as divine instruments.

#### Language

One of the main languages ​​spoken in Hyperborea and Thule was Hyperborean, which also served as a secret code among the White Mages.

#### White Mages

The White Mages were a group of wizards and sorcerers who maintained control over the two regions. They were feared for their strength, but they could not stray far from the obelisks because of the magic that flowed there. Because of this, they employed spies and sent them far away, where they could influence international politics.

At the pass of a gorge in the Gray Hills stood a fortress that guarded the gorge's gates, ruled by Hash'tir, a sorcerer of the house of Bh'lon. The gorge stretched two hundred kilometers through the mountain range and contained many ramparts. Beyond the southern gate's threshold was a small square centered by a black obelisk, constantly surrounded by vril-users apprentices.

#### Thule Society

The Hyperboreans became extinct with the Flood, but their scriptures and teachings were preserved, surviving the deluge. Centuries later, the Goths (Germanic people) found these scriptures and founded the Thule Society, a secret brotherhood that has the same goal as their ancestors: world domination. They infiltrated the Nazi government, manipulating its leaders to achieve their goals, but with the end of World War II, they mysteriously disappeared.

One of the members of the Thule Society was Gutaska Razda, born January 6, 378 in Götaland, Sweden. He coordinated the order until 1945, when he was killed by Cherub Denyel.

## Trivia

* Hyperborea was in Greek mythology a mythical land, perpetually sunny, situated far away, to the north, at the northern end of the Earth. This region would be inhabited, according to the ancient Greeks, by an equally legendary people - the Hyperboreans.
	+ According to the myth, Hyperborea was a place where the sun shone 24 hours a day. Meanwhile, in the Spohrverse, the antediluvian nation had a polar environment, covered in snow and ice.
