This is an old revision of the document!
Therodos was once a kingdom of sages and craftsmen ruled by the Telkhines, sea daimones of almost godlike powers. When the Telkhines made themselves god-kings and threatened the divine order, their entire kingdom was drowned and cast under the waves. The people of the old kingdom suffered the full wrath of the divine judgment and unaware became ghosts inhabiting the ruins of a sunken kingdom. Of the Telkhine kingdom only a few islands remain, inhabited by survivors of the cataclysm. On these islands the living serve the unaware dead out of fear and respect. On the islands of the shattered kingdom also live the Daktyloi, dwarven smiths and servants of the Telkhines. With the death of the Telkhines the Daktyloi replaced them and became revered by the Therodian ghosts. The Daktyloi and their Hekateride sisters bring life to the remains of the ancient kingdom and prevent the total destruction of their home. Now Therodos is a drowned kingdom of ghosts and human islanders ruled by Daktyloi master smiths.
"Therodos is based on Greek legends and ideas of a golden-age kingdom swallowed by the waves as punishment by the gods. Since I made Berytos I wanted to elaborate on the Telkhines. Previous concepts of the Berytian Telkhine ancestry and new ideas of a spectral nation unaware of its undead precondition were merged and Therodos started to take form. Additional ideas of craftsmen daimones, such as Daktyls and associated Kouretes and Korybantes found a place in the backstory of the nation." - Illwinter
