Thallan

Thallan (from Elvish, meaning "one land") is a continent of the planet Ashan. It is the setting of all Might and Magic games from the Ubisoft continuity, such as Heroes of Might and Magic V, Might & Magic: Heroes VI, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes.

History[]

Thallan was united under the rule of the Shantiri Empire, but the Elder Wars between the Angels and Faceless destroyed this unity. After the wars, each of the elder races founded its own realm. Humans created the Holy Falcon Empire under the rule of Ronan the Great, Elves established their kingdom in the forest of Irollan, Nagas retreated to Hashima in the Jade Ocean, Angels made their towns in the sky, Faceless went deep underground to the darkest places of Ashan and Dwarves proclaimed the mountains under Grimheim as their domain.

But the humans and Elves didn't remain united: Mages created their own state of The Seven Cities, and after the Holy Falcon Empire elevated the worship of Elrath over Ylath many of the Ylath's followers left the empire and wandered to the east, where they founded the Free Cities. After Tuidhana's secession from Irollan, the Dark Elves were created, founding their underground realm of Ygg-Chall. After the civil war in the Seven Cities, two new nations emerged - the Mages of the Silver Cities and the Necromancers of the Vale of Heresh.

Geography[]

It is unknown how the eastern portions of the continent look. The western part is seen to possess a rugged coastline with many peninsulas, such as the Agyn Peninsula. To the north of continent there is the Sea of Shadows, to the west the Irisus Sea, to the southwest the Savage Sea, and to the southeast the Jade Ocean. There are several islands, too: in the Irisus Sea lies the Twilight Archipelago and in the Jade Ocean there are the Pao Islands. The eastern portions of the continent consist of the Ranaar Steppes.
