Theras

Theras is a world on the outskirts of the Beonis System. It has been the native world of the local "Vru" spient species who evolved to very early stages of evolution. Now is also the homeworld of the Therisian Mages, the loosing side of the Great Thaumaturgic War of Lotharius. This event shaped the composition of this planet for the remaining centuries. Humans settlers had previously arrived into Theras but the Therisian Mages, known back then as "The Dark Ones" or "The Dark Mages" followed through some centuries later, assimilating (sometimes forcefully) the local humans and enslaving the Vru. Some still remained free in the wilderness and still are to this day. Others fled.

The total population of the Planet is around 860 million, of which about 600 million are Humans and around 260 million are Vru. From the Vru, about 210 million live in slavery, and 50 million in freedom in the wild. From the humans, about 540 million are Therisians, enslaved or assimilated, while 60 million are free humans who have allied with the Vru and lived in the wilderness, hidding or in isolated settlements.

History

Before the arrival of the Therisian Mages, human settlers had already arrived in the surface of Theras long ago and stablish small settlements on several far between location within the planet. They essentially used the stations to trade with the local Vru and while some settlements were caught in warfare with them, others were more prolific and peaceful. It all changed when the first great Arcs appaered in the sky.

They stablished a city known as Amerbazan, which is still among the greatest cities of the Therisian mages, and became a center for spying. The first arrivals did kept secretive and killed anything that came close to them. It was then that decades later, this arc was followed by a couple dozens of massive large Arcs that stablished themselves in the planet, founding tweenty cities, known as the Founding Cities among the Therisians. Some local humans welcomed the arrival of this newcomers and allied with them, seeing them as freeing them from the Vru. Others on the contrary allied with the local Vru and started the War of Therisian Conquest. A Guerrilla warfare that eventually still stands today.
