uining their efforts by stealing the artefacts they had obtained. Later, she helped trigger the diatribe that resulted in the madness of Alphas and the destruction of her world. Her cult survived among the exiled Alphatians and she became involved in Mystara’s history upon the arrival of the surviving Alphatians. From the moment of Alphatian landfall, the cult of Talitha has grown to encompass all the lands of the Empire and beyond. Talitha has become the patroness of greed, malice, treachery, and theft. Personality: Talitha lives only for herself, and enjoys humiliating others and in causing distress and pain. It is not important for her to simply steal something, but to be meaningful the theft must always cause the ruin or the suffering of the victim. Talitha is a hedonist without remorse; she loves to be worshipped for her enterprises and is extremely vindictive. Over the course of centuries she has woven intrigues and conspiracies against both immortals and mortals, and even now she is one of the most active Entropic immortals in the Multiverse, a fact testified by her fast rise in her Sphere’s hierarchy. She loves to play the ally of some Entropic only to turn the tables against him at the end, benefiting from her rival’s fall. She is currently doing so with the boisterous Alphaks, hoping to steal away all his worshippers in the Alphatian Empire, whose patron deities she passionately hates.

History: Tarastia was the priestess of a Jennite tribe that it lived in Skothar around 2500 BC. After she had been humiliated and abused by the leader of her clan, she took her revenge by killing him. Due to Jennite law, she was banished from the clan and wandered the Jennite steppes for a long time, gathering various disciples, especially women warriors, the Amazons, whom she taught to live according to honourable and just rules, and to carry her words of justice to various other regions. After creating her own horde of followers who recognized her superiority, she vanquished mad wizards and drove dangerous predators away from her territory. Later she built various sites to be used as safe refuges and holy meeting places for her people, and she asked for Ixion’s help in guiding her toward immortality. Ixion listened to his devout follower and showed her the path of the Paragon, which she completed successfully in 2300 BC. From that moment, and by virtue of the deeds she accomplished while a mortal, her name became famous and whole tribes started to worship her and follow her teachings. Unfortunately, over the centuries, Rathanos grew interested in the Jennites (the descendants of the Oltecs) and tried to reform the Jennites according to his wishes. He urged his followers to change the laws of Tarastia and to promote male supremacy and fire-based sacrificial rituals. The war that occurred in XVII century BC between the two factions was devastating for the Jennites, who died by the thousands and whose culture reverted to Stone Age barbarism. Luckily, Tarastia spirited away some of her most loyal tribes before they were exterminated and placed them in the Hollow World; saving the Jennite culture before it became corrupted by Rathanos’s machinations. Since that fateful moment, she has always opposed Rathanos, and she has spread her teachings of Justice and Order to the four corners of the world. She also took the mortal identity of Valentia the Justicar, first Empress of Thyatis (widow of Tatriokanitas), and she devised the Codex Iustitiae, a system of laws and rules which formed the basis of the modern Thyatian bureaucratic and juridical corpus. With this act, she intended for Thyatis to follow the way of Order and Law, in opposition to the chaotic ways of Alphatia, and therefore she holds a place of great importance in the Thyatian pantheon. Personality: Tarastia is obsessed by the concept of Justice. She helps those who pursue a just vendetta, but only if it concerns an important and serious deed. She does not urge her faithful to give out punishments that are severer than the crime, but she shows no mercy when dealing with people who have deliberately ignored the laws. To her thinking, these are the only pillars that keep
any society from falling into anarchy. Tarastia does not approve of the methods of Koryis and Alphatia, which are too peaceful and permissive in her view, even if she does not consider them enemies. Her real enemies are the chauvinist Rathanos and the brutish Jammudaru. Her only ally is Diulanna, who shares Tarastia’s determination and appetite for justice.

History (PROBABLE THEORY): When Milen gathered his subjects and decided to flee to the south via the sea in order to escape the destructive gnolls, following the visions of the prophet Tiresias, the general Androsar, Milen’s right arm, was busy organising the expedition. After crossing the Sea of Dread and losing a third of the fleet (King Milen among them) due to the adverse climatic conditions and marine monsters, Androsar led the survivors up a river in the Davanian north-western coast, to escape the enormous creatures of the abyss that had harassed them in the final months. There they established the city of Milenia on the lower side of this river. Androsar then organised the defence of the small community, and quickly assumed King Milen’s ancient powers, becoming the figurehead for all. With the passing of time, Androsar’s ambitions increased, until during an expedition in the southern mountains he encountered a seer, who revealed the path of Immortality to him. After seeking and gaining the support of Khoronus, Androsar left the palace to his son and successively travelled into the future appearing with other identities. The last of these was Taroyas, the individual who turned the kingdom into an empire and who granted to the senate the powers previously held by the king. Androsar became an Immortal in the Sphere of Time in the VII century BC taking the name of Taroyas. Personality: Taroyas is worshipped in Milenia as the patron of nobility, good government, and order, and has a large following among those who hold high positions. He is an extremely noble and authoritarian individual, and defends with his sword the values of order and tradition. Currently he is the lover of Patura and, besides his mentor Khoronus, he is also an ally of Palson and Tiresias (mortal contemporaries).
