Introduction

Thera, A New Beginning


Based on Gundugs excellent otherworld map. This fantasy/non-historical mod is based around factions from different era's and technology levels. Each faction will have a very different feel, and will play quite differently.




Historical Background


Thera is a world much like ours, but she has been punished by the gods. For two centuries she has been ravaged by plague and natural disasters.


At the start of 'Great Torment' as it was known Volcanos erupted, the land was shaken by earth quakes, black rain fell, and the sun was blotted from the sky. After this the the winters lasted longer and longer, the snows in the north refused to melt. In the normally fertile central lands, the crops withered and died. With the crops gone, there was no feed for livestock, and so they perished. Soon it was the people who withered, as the weakened populations scumbed to disease and plague. The entire world population was decimated and many great nations fell.


Now a century after the end of 'Great Torment', old empires are struggling to re-establish their lands, and fresh new nations are developing aspirations of greatness.
