	Earthdawn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The peoples of the world built kaers, underground towns and cities, which they sealed with the Theran wards to wait out the time of the Horrors, which was called the Scourge.
		The primary setting of Earthdawn is Barsaive, a former province of the Theran Empire.
		Barsaive is a region of city-states, independent from the Therans since the dwarven Kingdom of Throal led a rebellion against their former overlords.

	EDPT :: Earthdawn Publishing Trust
		In this story of the three towering giants that are the Theran Empire, the Kingdom of Throal, and the Elven Court, often overlooked are the fates of those nations that did not survive the ravages of war amongst Name-givers and the corruption of the Horrors.
		The Theran Empire literally holds together the fabric of civilization until most of their client states are prepared.
		Although the Theran forces are overextended, trying to hold together pieces of their crumbling empire, Sky Point is a massive fortress with dozens of other ships on hand and the nearby Theran city of Vivane to support it.

	Earthdawn - ArtPolitic Encyclopedia of Politics : Information Portal
		The key points of the history are the prediction of the disaster, the creation of an empire in attempt to ready the population for its coming and the subsequent differences between the actual events and the predictions.
		The Empire had taught the people of the Barsaive how to survive the astral attack in return for their surrender and addition to the Empire and the dwarves were some of their most astute students.
		The Therans in the area are based in the magical floating city of Sky Point while the dwarven realm's capital is the underground city of Throal.

		She has also hinted that there is more to Deimu's contract with Theran than at first seems as she constantly referred to Theran as "weak" and did not have a very high opinion of him compared to Deimu.

	The Bindari: The Thorn In Thera's Paw
		When the Therans tried to move in and take the resources they wanted, the Bindari began a campaign of guerilla warfare against them, picking off stragglers and scouts, damaging or stealing supplies in the middle of the night, luring wild animals into the Theran campsites.
		As far as the Empire is concerned, the Bindari remain an annoying curiosity.
		Dis is regarded by the Bindari as the patron Passion of the Empire.

	Krac
		It is not, however, a Theran outpost, and the technology was not obtained from Thera.
		It was a northernmost landing place for Theran barges and tradeships, with a Theran trade factories sprawling all along the southern Amber.
		Theran traders live in southern part of the city, and they are barely tolerable now, that Thera is weaker.

		For the region now encompassed by the empire of Rakkar, the mana level rose slowly and the Horror presence grew gradually; it never reached the highest levels that were experienced in the Barsaive region.
		There are some high-ranking Therans who are concerned that the Tllanuth races may prove to be a problem in the future; they are far too dangerous to work as slaves, and could never safely become free citizens.
		The Tllanuth in Rakkar understand little of the Theran empire and assume they are just another city-state which will someday fall under the long arm of Rakkar.

	Howler Monkey
		Native to Indrisa, howler monkeys have become increasingly common in other provinces and former provinces of the Theran Empire in recent years as traders, caravans, and adepts bring them -- and lose them -- where ever they happen to travel.
		In their native Indrisa, howler monkeys are sometimes kept as pets, but more often are seen as a nuisance, as they can be overly inquisitive at times, and tend to get themselves into dangerous -- and humorous -- situations.
		Before the Therans arrived, caravans of more than fifty were almost -- though not quite -- common.

		At the northwestern reaches of the Galactic Empire, beyond the Segmentum Obscurum, lies a region referred to as the Rim of Known Space.
		The Rim Guard themselves were equally uncertain of the Empire, and the course it had taken in their absence.
		While the Empire and the High Council of Terra consider this area to be under the control of the Rim Guard, in reality dominion over the Confederation is shared jointly between by the Grand Master of the Space Marine Chapter, and the Eremite Duke.

		Before their coming, the magicians of the Theran Empire warned the world, and the people of the Earth took shelter under it.
		The Therans returned to the province shortly after the Scourge ended, seeking to bend it again to their yoke, but the people of Barsaive rejected the Therans'iron rule and rallied behind the dwarfs of Throal.
		The people of Barsaive must fight to reclaim their world from the last vestiges of the Scourge and protect themselves from the flying armada of the Theran Empire, which waits to re-conquer the land that it once ruled.

		The game is set in an era where the world is emerging from a self imposed exile called the Scourge, where the level of magic wasso high that malevolent beings from Astral Space swarmed the world and fed on any life they could, warping and twisting it to cause pain and suffering.
		Most of the world built underground shelters that were magically protected, developed by the Theran empire (a powerhouse empire that stretches far and wide and employs slave labour for such constructions).
		Barsavians have rejected the tenets of slavery and unite against the reclamation of their lands by the Therans.

		In addition to fleshing out Theran society and introducing numerous potential story lines, the Theran Empire also presents four new player-character races.
		Though Thera may lay claim to these vast countries, the Empire is not welcome in all of them.
		Some provinces benefit from the Theran presence; others seek to throw off the Theran yoke through violence, and still others maintain their independence by more subtle means.

		Standing on the banks of the sluggish Byrose River, a major tributary of the mighty Serpent River, Travar is one of the major port destinations for the riverboats that sail the waterways of Barsaive.
		Its proximity to the Theran markets means that Travar has one of the only legal slave markets in Barsaive, though it remains outside the city walls-and the city tax on slaveholders makes slave ownership a luxury available only to the very wealthy.
		Troll air sailors have settled in the city since the end of the Scourge and one corner of the city is now inhabited exclusively by trolls from the highlands of Barsaive.

	Reviews -- Earthdawn -- Sky Point and Vivane
		The first book is the best as it covers the Theran Empire and Vivane in general, before looking at the four sub-quarters of the Barsaivian quarters of Vivane.
		The second book is noticeably smaller as it only has to deal with the five sub-quarters of the old city (as the Theran quarter of the city is known) and the artwork is (I believe) inferior to that in the first book (a question of taste).
		The final book covers the province in general, looking at the Theran military base of Sky Point, the north-west, north-east and south-east corners of the province (the south-west is Vivane) and those lands close to the province.

		The Allmother and Allfather (the Creators of the World) sent the Seven to liberate us from evil: each of the Seven was the embodiment of the ideals eventually taught to the civilized world and the foundation of the Reliquis faith.
		While a god cannot die, at least in the way we understand death, the Seven were the mortal forms of the divine: in short, the Emperor killed them, although at the expense of his own existence.
		The Empire claimed the region and ruled over the elves, but if you belief the history of the elves, the Empire exaggerated their claim.

	The Lore Merchant: The Earthdawn Timeline
		"But to attempt to correlate events happening in lands across Barsaive and the Theran Empire is a task that even I would hesitate to consider.
		The latter holds out, if one takes into account Theran dating, which is measured from the announcement of Empire after the Battle of Sky Point in 443 TH.
		Problems like these cropped up time and again, and there are many times when records only indicate "about a hundred years" or "three decades later." Such ambiguity makes precise dating difficult, to say the least.

	"Uncle Ancient's Guide to Orichalcum Prospecting"
		Some eight centuries before the Scourge, the Theran Empire, based from the island of Thera in the Selestrean (now Mediterranean) Sea, began importing orichalcum to construct defenses for the coming Horrors.
		Given the value of orichalcum and the power of Theran magicians, most people disregard this official explanation and assume they perform some vital function, like keeping the world's mana at a certain level or preventing the nastiest Horrors from manifesting or something.
		During the Age of Legend, the Therans unknowlingly mined the decrepit ruins of the ancient magical college of El Aethor, which contained orichalcum.

		This because their homes are only a few in Barsaive, in numbers one could say that they are with as much as the Obsidimen in Barsaive (which isn't strange at all, which will become clear later on).
		I say "in Barsaive" on purpose, because throughout the Theran "Empire" (and beyond) there are far more of them, especially in some of the north-western parts of Vasgothia.
		In their being they are practically the same as Obsidimen; first and foremost because they also are an Elemental Spirit in a "shell"; secondly because they are deeply spiritual and follow almost every of our rituals in the same way.

		Through the secret manipulations of powerful beings and the righteous spirit of the free people of Barsaive, the Theran Empire is swept from their land with relative ease, leaving them looking more like incompetent and bloated aristocrats than a fearsome military empire.

		Thera was a part of the Minoan Empire, and, being a group of islands between Egypt and Greece, had not only the world's first navy, but aquaducts (long before the famous Roman water systems) and a surprisingly highly-evolved culture.
