  • Formatted everything to look way cooler.  Also stumbled upon old Soviet military projects and had some fun there. ;)

    Geography
    Thalasus is composed of largely tropical islands with dense urbanization along the coasts. One the main island, Vascaro, urbanization gets less dense as you approach the center of the islands, which are dominated by large hills scattered with terraced farms, beautiful homes for the wealthy, and a tall volcano, the famous Mt. Christo. The hills are scattered with artisan wells and small streams, providing the largest domestic source of fresh water.
    The smaller, lower islands are almost entirely city, with Farbanti in the north, Jacinto in the middle, and San Salvacion in the south. The islands are scattered with small volcanoes that largely serve as power production centers for the urban landscapes. Instead of mountains and hills, these cities are dominated by superstructures and skyscrapers.

    History
    Thalasus has a complicated regional history, full of societal upheavals and immigration. Archaeologists have conflicting views on how the islands were originally peopled: some believe they have evidence native Thalasians (known as "Thal'hem" people) arrived on the island around 10,000 BCE when water levels were low enough for a land bridge to come from the neighboring continents, but others hypothesize that ethnically Thal'hem humans sailed from the same continents a few thousand years later when waters were warmer and easier to travel.

    The Thal'hem people spread across the isles and made tribes and later kingdoms that were constantly at war with each other. They developed their own culture and religion, which centered around their god-kings and a myriad of animistic and abstract spirits. Life continued in this way for thousands of years, with societies slowly and slowly growing more and more advanced, eventually making their own alphabet and understanding some of the concepts of metallurgy, smelting copper and gold as far back as 1000 CE. Trade with nearby small nations was limited but lucrative, and tales of the riches of Thalasus were spread far and wide.

    Then, in 1593 CE, the Spaniards arrived. Colonizers from a distant continent, these ethnically white invaders came supported by a mysterious king. Although Thal'hem maritime and military technology was advanced when compared to their neighboring people, they paled in comparison to the large, cannon-filled ships that were now dotting their shores. The conquest of the Thal'hem kingdoms was as brutal as it was short: their alphabet was lost forever and almost a million Thal'hem (50% of the initial population) died in the resulting wars and plagues. Colonization of the islands began immediately, with the surviving Thal'hem becoming a race of slaves for the production of spices and sugarcane under white Spaniard rule for the next 207 years. Around this time, Mestizo ("mixed race") people became a significant percentage of the population, and Spanish became the written and spoken of the region. However, the Thal'hem language and warrior culture did not die, as the oppressive Spaniards would soon find out...
