Overview
Therion (Founder), also recorded as Emperor Therion, is the previous-cycle Therion of Soltheris who founds Thalcoris and Tequaltor. He escapes Xalmyrra with Xandor, Orin, Khoradyn, and refugees after Jorhan / Xol'Zahir and Aldred tear the region apart, reaches Tequaltor, and becomes the first recorded sun-shard wielder in Tenari history.
Founder Therion belongs to the previous cycle. Tazarin is the current-cycle King Therion of Soltheris whom Xoh'Tenol later summons to Thalcoris.
Magic and Rule
Therion comes from Soltheris's cosmic-mage tradition and wields Xoh'Tenol's sun shard. As the first sun-shard wielder, he becomes the model behind Thalcoris's divine imperial succession.
History
In the ancient cycle, Therion stands with the Xalmyrran leaders when Jorhan returns from the western island with a spiral shard and declares that the atraxi will rule the world. After Aldred attacks Jorhan, Therion leaves with Xandor, Orin, and Khoradyn while Belanor guides survivors toward safety.
In Xolterran founding history, Therion founds Thalcoris and Tequaltor. After the migration, Xolterra's lands are rich and the darkness weakens. He belongs to the previous-cycle migration that begins Xolterra's AX/BX history roughly five millennia before Cassian reaches Aurivallis.
