Thalcoris is a Tenari nation in northern Xolterra, ruled by Emperor Tazarin from Tequaltor. Its cities combine geometric stone architecture with aether and resonance magic.
Geography and settlements
Dense jungles cover much of Thalcoris, with river valleys and savanna between its cities. Tequaltor is the capital, built around a great golden pyramid. Canals run beside its streets and geometric buildings. Aurivallis lies farther inland in a valley, while Xalatun stands beside a river on the savanna. Chalxata, near Tequaltor, is the principal port and trading hub.
A gate near the coast connects with Erenmyr, and another stands in the jungle south of Xalatun.
Magic and society
The Tenari use aether magic for flight and practical works such as baths supplied through canals. Many mages wield two kinds of magic. Resonance magic can heal or damage, and Aurivallis is known for its divine and resonance mages. Tenari clothing uses geometric patterns in pinks and yellows.
Razen and Amaril taught combat magic at Tequaltor's war school, which enrolled children as well as adults.
Xoh’Tenol was revered in Tequaltor, while worship of Xoh’Metztli centered on Aurivallis.
History
Founding
Thalcoris grew from city states established by people who fled Xalmyrra through the gates. Therion founded Tequaltor, while Xandor led the people who settled Aurivallis. The founders accepted help from the sun and moon gods against the darkness. Orin and Khoradyn rejected divine rule and took their people south to establish Thalassai.
The moon goddess's control
Xoh’Metztli spread mind control through the songs and voices of her followers. The Tenari fought a war whose deaths supplied essence to Xol’Zahir, fulfilling her agreement to keep Xolterra from being swallowed by darkness. Tazarin protected his mind and tried to end the control by killing a wielder of the moon shard, but the goddess simply chose another.
After Zayren and Razen attacked Eira near Xalatun, Lythariel unleashed darkness magic that destroyed an essence tower and devastated the surrounding land. Cassian killed Xoh’Metztli and her wielder Meliora in the Temple of Resonance, breaking the control over the Tenari.

Rebuilding and Thalassai
Thalassai helped Thalcoris rebuild, arranging trade and mage deployments with Tazarin. Essence core production increased even though towers had been destroyed. During the invasion of Thalassai, Razen's army helped defend Terranova, while Tazarin fought at Chronasis.
After the battle, Thalcoris formally joined Thalassai. Tazarin took the sixth seat among its archons as archon of cosmos. Tequaltor was rebuilt, supplies arrived by windweaver, and new roads connected the Tenari cities with their southern neighbors.
