- Planetary Features:
- Mythara is primarily wild, with vast stretches of untouched forests and craggy mountains. Deep scars and ruins of the ancient war that once raged between Thalorande and Felnoreth mar its surface and can be found scattered throughout the world, left as haunting reminders of a time when the entirety of the planet teetered on the edge of oblivion.
Located on opposing hemispheres, Thalorande and Felnoreth represent the distinct characteristics of their ruling court. Thalorande, a city characterized by its tranquil landscapes and the citizen's harmonious relationship with nature, strives to protect and preserve the environment at all costs. Lush greenery, stone buildings, and tranquil landscapes, are the hallmarks of this kingdom. In stark contrast, Felnoreth is synonymous with relentless technological advancement at any cost. The citizens residing within this dark, innovative city show little regard for the environment or morality, focused solely on progress and personal gain. Deceitful and callously ambitious, there's a reason the citizens of this kingdom have cultivated a reputation for being untrustworthy.
Nestled between these contrasting kingdoms lies Eilareth, the capital city that emerged as a neutral gathering place for subjects from both Thalorande and Felnoreth after the devastating war of eons past had concluded. Eilareth acts as a bridge between the two polarized societies, allowing them to come together in a diplomatic setting. Over the hundreds of years since its establishment, Eilareth has become a melting pot of the cultures separated by distance and ideology, but united by necessity. - Major Locations:

- Freedom & Oppression:
- In Thalorande, the society values purpose, dignity, and a harmonious coexistence with nature. As such, the government maintains stability by promoting social welfare and environmental conservation. Policies are inclusive and provide equal access to resources and opportunities. However, strict adherence to traditions creates a certain amount of repression, especially for those seeking to diverge from established norms.
Felnoreth's society is driven by unbridled technological progress and personal gain. In this kingdom, an elite class dominates the political and economic structures. This elitism fosters societal inequalities and oppresses the lower classes. Xenophobia against those who are non-Mythari is strong, often leading to blatant discrimination and a gross disregard for the lives of those they've classified as 'other'. A cutthroat culture persists within Felnoreth's government system, with ambition determining one's relationship to power.
Eilareth, the capital city, stands as a place where both ideologies can coexist but inevitably clash from time to time. Striking a delicate balance between freedom and oppression is an ongoing challenge here, as each kingdom attempts to advance or preserve its own interests at the expense of the other.
- Military:
- Both Thalorande and Felnoreth maintain their own standing armies, each with unique tactics and resources aligned with their respective ideologies. These separate forces are brought together under the banner of Eilareth when their unified strength is required to defend the planet.
Thalorande's military philosophy centers around guerilla warfare and leveraging the natural environment to defend their kingdom. Their soldiers are adept at using the terrain to their advantage and utilizing Force magicks to augment their armors and abilities.
Felnoreth's approach to warfare is characterized by advanced military technology, cutting-edge space craft, and relentless aggression. This kingdom boasts a powerful space navy and mechanized ground forces that are supported by ambitious engineers and scientists driven by personal gain.
The planet's overall defense is both enhanced and hindered by the differing approaches of these two kingdoms. Eilareth's role as the meeting point for both forces enables them to cooperate on matters of planetary defense, although their inherently conflicting ideologies often lead to clashes in decision-making and there has been frequent debates and arguments on a more unified military that could be used to push expansion. - Technology:
- There is a wide range of technological capacities due to the polarizing ideologies between Thalorande and Felnoreth. Thalorande maintains a technology level just below the Galactic Standard, consciously pursuing sustainable practices and preserving their natural environment. Felnoreth, on the other hand, pushes well beyond the Galactic Standard through rapid technological innovations and unhindered experimentation, often with little regard for ethics or long-term consequences. The capital city of Eilareth possesses a mix of both extremes, reflecting a unique blend of tradition and progress.
EARLY HISTORY
The origins of Mythara and the establishment of its inhabitants, who have come to be known as the Mythari, remains a puzzle with no definitive answers regarding their settlement on the planet. Scholars among the Mythari suggest that their dual civilization has thrived on Mythara for thousands of years. However, due to early oral traditions and a now-lost primordial language, historians cannot pinpoint an exact timeline. All they can confirm is that the Mythari's existence appears to predate some of the oldest recorded histories that have been discovered across the Galaxy.
