Tharizianta-RIH-zih-an

The people of the late kingdom Tharyss. Almost obliterated by the traitorous acts of the Balians.

Description

Tharizians are physically similar to Balians, though slimmer in frame and slightly taller on average. They also lack a pinkie, giving them eight fingers in total. Prior to their downfall, the Tharizians were an influential, powerful and technologically advanced people, rivalled only by some of the Sentients of Xaryon. They were also notably secretive, and while trade routes, produce and selected technology were shared with outsiders, it was widely known that they withheld the bulk of their knowledge. When displaced Balian nomads arrived at Tharyss' shores seeking a place to settle, the Tharizians allowed it, on the condition that the newcomers adhere to Tharizian law. The two peoples coexisted under this arrangement, with the Tharizians retaining the right to rule and the Balian leader submitting to their authority.

Snippet of report on the Attack on Lysinn

The civilian number doesn't add up. Our source told us that their numbers had been dramatically lowered. Two thirds of the adult population gone. But what was left at Lysinn was not a hundred thousand Tharizians. Barely fifty thousand were struck down, their bodies counted thrice over. Hardly any children and elderly, mostly women and men of capable ages. Either our source had dramatically miscalculated or the Tharizians gave up their laboring queen for slaughter and escaped by means we have been unable to identify. But the goal was achieved, the queen killed, and her newborn daughter in our custody. There are still fifty thousand Tharizians unaccounted for. Where did they escape to?
