Theia

Theia / Theos was the first Tzar of Zarthura; their two given names have been used interchangeably in various historical accounts of their life and legacy. They were considered to be a high elf of considerable beauty, though their exact depiction tends to shift depending on the Province. The most popular myths depict them with two children-- one The Amira and one The Suria-- but sometimes they have as many as five children and in other stories they have none. Their symbol is an open eye, as they were believed to have been born with incredible powers of sight and insight and, over the course of their life, developed the ability to predict the future. Some of the more superstitious Zarthurians believe that Theia / Theos blessed this continent (and perhaps even the whole of Sharum Mal'Kari), and that this blessing is what provides radiance to gold, silver, precious metals, and gemstones.
