Thassilonians

Thassilonians were the inhabitants of the ancient human empire of Thassilon, which existed for thousands of years before its collapse. They were a magically advanced civilization, renowned for their mastery of arcane arts and their ambitious monumental constructions. Thassilonian society was highly structured, organized into seven distinct magical schools, each with its own unique focus and territory. These schools, such as the Runelords of Greed and Lust, wielded immense power and influence over their respective domains, often engaging in conflict with one another. The Thassilonians were known for their pride and their belief in their inherent superiority, which ultimately contributed to their downfall. Their empire was vast, encompassing much of the region that would later become known as Varisia. The remnants of their civilization, including powerful magical artifacts and dangerous ruins, can still be found throughout the land. Thassilonian magic was deeply intertwined with their understanding of runic symbols, which they used to imbue objects and even living beings with potent enchantments. The collapse of Thassilon is shrouded in mystery, but it is widely believed to have been caused by internal strife, magical cataclysms, or a combination of both. Despite their demise, the legacy of the Thassilonians continues to shape the history and landscape of the world.
