Thallan was united under the rule of Shantiri Empire, but the Elder Wars between Angels and Faceless destroyed this unity. After wars each of the elder races founded its own realm. Humans under the rule of Ronan the Great created Holy Falcon Empire, Elves established their kingdom in the forest of Irollan, Nagas retreated to the Hashima in the Jade Ocean, Angels made their towns in the sky, Faceless went deep underground to the darkest places of Ashan and Dwarves proclaimed the mountains under Grimheim as their domain.
