A hidden garden in a desolate land, where predators will destroy the ecology if left unchecked. Ancient technology lies useless, for its inhabitants have long lost the ability to understand it. Legends speak of an ultimate helm might reside there, which can allow a spelljamming ship to free itself from the domains of dread. And, yes, there are also giant space hamsters.

Geography

Weather

Climate varies and is usually rainy and warm to the north, within the jungle. The southern part of the domain is cool and unchanging.

Terrain

Mountains & Hills

• The North and West edge of Theka is a large mountain range. Within the mountains is a valley with a jungle hidden in its depths.

Forest

• The jungle valley deep in the mountains is a huge rainforest that has overtaken a classical level advanced civilization. Pillars and statues still peek from the foliage. The only humans within the valley are unthinking predators, either feral tribal living ones or rare feral vampires from south Theka. The jungle is full of strange beasts found nowhere else and with an overabundance of life. Those who stay too long in the valley start losing themselves and become no different from the feral creatures of the valley.

Plains

• The southern part of Theka is a desolate and vast rocky wasteland similar to Bluetspur's. Only the Tower of Night breaks its flat featureless plains.

Population Distribution

Villages

• New Thesalys (pop. 100) - In the mountains is a race of humans, Thesalians who are immune to the feral effect, but they have lived in their complex so long that they do not know of the valley and the existence of other lands and those who leave never come back. T'lann uses the complex for his feeding larder. They revere him as their leader.
• Tower of Night - A complex under the tower holds people to use for T'Lann food and experiments.
• Tribal Savages gather within ruins and caves of the hidden valley.
