🏞️ Description

The Principality of Thorinthia is a realm of veils, performance, and layered politics — a coastal crescent of masked courts, mirrored harbors, and desire-bound rites. Ruled by a line of passion-princes and masked consorts, Thorinthia’s nobility thrives on spectacle, secrecy, and the subtle art of Echo-tempered emotion. Few speak plainly here; intentions ripple beneath curated identity and illusion.

Cities glimmer with candlelight illusions, echo-mirage façades, and tower gardens that bloom based on nearby emotional resonance. The court conducts diplomacy through dance, scent-language, and poetic duel — truth is performed, not declared. Memory is currency in noble circles, with entire estates built upon shared recollection rights and curated pasts.

The principality’s coastal Echoes are said to carry voices of old loves and unshed tears. Its influence lies not in force, but in the orchestration of perception — diplomacy through enchantment and memory weaving.

🕰️ History

• Founding Myth: Born from a romance between a dream-fugitive and a mirrored sea, Thorinthia was founded as a refuge for those too complex for simpler empires.

• Key Historical Events:

  • Hosted the famed Conclave of Twelve Masks, ending a regional feud through choreographed memory-drama

  • Temporarily merged its lineage with Kingdom of Cabuero through an Echo-pact marriage — later annulled after a disputed dream-duel

  • Created the Consort’s Lament, a national poetic rite for emotional cleansing broadcast nightly via echo-mirrors

🌟 Key Locations

• Cindralune: Capital of artifice and allure; floating opera halls and light-sculpted streets

• Thresall: Twin-city of emotion archives; one half mourns, the other celebrates

• Vaether’s Gate: Grand harbor where dreams and sea-Echoes mingle — used for ceremonial partings and identity reinvention

• The Prism Archives: Secretive noble library of curated lives, where edits to a person’s past can be ritually sealed
