SUMMARIZED ORIGIN: From Loresona TCR Stat

At the Shimmering Splinter, there are cases of unknown magic anomalies and natural disasters occurring. And because of that, extreme geographical anomalies are common to record there. Expert Mist Patrols won't recommend the usual residents to visit due to extreme natural conditions and disasters there. As there are cases of hexagonal clouds are likely to form alongside rogue waves. Added to the large swaths of
Underwater volcanoes, the popular nickname was named in this place as the Talreshian Coast, because of the site’s common occurrence of the Talreshian tribe.
Records are few, but there are distinct groups found especially near the grave of the dead ships(including some ancient skyship from
Dukran’s Age): the Contacted ones & the Uncontacted ones.
Given there’s no centralized authority, many would presume their lifestyles vary from scavenging to migrating to a better place, such as in the nearby Mt. Xargasdon regions
But returning to their homeland won’t be so easy, so they referred to travel by sea, diving around 1 thousand feet

CHARACTER LORE SUMMARY
Deva lived in the underwater village most
of his life; local people famously called it an
underwater sea grave. People think these
bygone era ships have some sort of magical
properties, but most of them don’t touch
these things nowadays, since there’s a
superstition that they might get cursed if they
stay too long.
Deva had a curious mind, he visited one of
the Skyships before & saw a strange book.
Most books would get warped writings
because they get submerged in water, but it
seems this one had a faint glow, and the ink
doesn’t warp itself.
A few of his childhood friends would break
their parents’ rule and enjoy talking about
how the world's infrastructure works. There,
they read the unheard words: Windmills,
Trebuchet, Cannons, etc. He hopes to meet
the fabled Author: Modessit
There, Deva looks at the ruined lanteen of
the Sky Ships, wonders if he could join the
Realms once more. Most of his friends would
not believe his silly dreams. The Modessit
and Shafer ships would continue their little
house until they reached of teenage years.
But the good things won’t last long, as the
danger lurks beyond their waters waits. Once
a year, his home village had to initiate a
tributary gift for the protection of the Dawnstar
Empire, earning its place as a vassal state.
But a misfortune happened, a supposed
tributary gift they were supposed to give for
the representative was stolen by an unknown
entity. Because of that, fear and terror struck
his home.
There were only two representatives from
the far nation: a Ketantrope and a
Tyranthrope. The only thing they were
supposed to give a exchange for their lost gift
was to find the Modessit & Shafer ship’s
artifacts. But Deva and his friends had to hide
the precious artifacts that they were deemed
too important to take away, as they hoped it
would improve the lives of their own people.
The two high ranks don’t have patience and
start murdering a few of the people, one by
one. Deva doesn’t let himself watch many of
his folks die, so he admits he knows he had a
befitting gift: himself.
People would look in horror, but Deva would
rest assured that everything would be fine in
the long run, as he’s the only one in the
village who has high knowledge of the world.
Because of it, he doesn’t know what fate lies
in store, as his fate would be an expendable
piece on a morbid masterpiece of the empire
His first decade of training would be an
excruciating journey, even if it meant the
safety of his town. There, he experienced the
atrocities behind one empire he had respect
for.
People there weren’t informed of what their
fate was, even if it meant they would receive
a miracle for them. The Selection tore his
psyche a little bit, even though he meant to
receive the Kemanthropy status. There he
was, in the corner, trying to think what things
should’ve been if he hadn’t brought them to
the Dawnstar outpost.
Decades passed, and the general informed
them they would launch the offense, that is,
the Siege of Tauronia. They were not ecstatic,
even if it meant they would have a proper
living if they succeeded.
Deva doesn’t mind, even though he’s the
sore thumb of the group. As the offensive
started, the Kemanthrope started the killing
spree, even kidnapping some of the Tauronia.
But while they started in the first phase of
enveloping the kingdom, Deva, by a sliver of
chance, saw another Talreshian, looking
mortified at the sight of the massacre.
There, he thought, if people like him were
made as an asset of war, why would he be
attacking one of his species? Nothing makes
sense for him, which he ends up rescuing
one, maybe two, out of his principles
There he was, and he found his way out,
even if it meant fighting a lot of
Kemanthropes in his way. A lot of the
Wounded rescuers began evacuating. His
A sliver of hope was overwhelmed by a
Ketanthrope, whom he had been familiar with
a decade ago
He was branded a traitor, and just before all
Hope was lost while protecting his people. A
A barrage of light appeared outside the fields of
Tauronia. It was the radiant light that
enveloped a lot of rescued humanoids and
Bovaurians, killing most of the Kemanthropes
in the vicinity
A few squadrons were at the front of Deva
and said.
“Tell me, what is your name? You seemed to
be the sore thumb of the beasts we usually
attack at”. There, Deva told his name - Diwa

Deva had to ask her name for thanking his
safety. The girl, clad in white armor and
wings, said:
“You don’t need to thank me. Meet me at
Locindor after this. Many people would like to
know you”, the girl told in a gentle tone
“Just tell the Sky nights that you are the
refugees from Tauronia”
“B-but!”. Deva said before his words stopped
The girl laughed
“...Modesitt sends her regards.” There, she
later moved to rescue the stranded people in
the fortress. Later, she was one of the people
who devised the surprise plan for Tauronia’s
freedom for the next few years
Deva would like to meet her someday, as he
would continue honing his skills, psyche, and
a curious mind
