Welcome To A Whole New World
Théah is a world rife with fascinating places and precarious adventures. She might be a remote cousin of our world – a fictional Europe, caught in between Baroque and Humanism, between Absolutism and Enlightenment.

Documents
Scripture is civilisation’s root – this is an axiomatic truth in Théah. So noble Grand Dames pass the time reading jovial novels and scholars thumb through dusty tomes of ancient philosophers, while kings and queens put their illustrious signature on weighty contracts. But even in simple letters, stories are told…

The Creator’s unseen hand commands the changes in the world. In a divine game of dice, the complex workings of fate and fortune determine the lives of mere mortals. But Fortuna is a fickle mistress… and who says, that one has to obey the rules…
