The recorded history of Theah begins with the founding of the first human city: Numa. Located in what is present day Vodacce, Numa created the first Golden Age of humanity. Numa was a republic, with senators elected from the noble families. It brought about science and philosophy that all Theah still discuss and worshiped gods inspired by the visible planets. But, as with all nations, Numa became corrupt over time until, after 700 years of rule, the republic fell and the Numan Empire was born. In an attempt to preserve their power, four of the Senator families used artifacts from before humanity to make a pact with other worldly powers, becoming the first sorcerers. After years of bloody civil war, a truce was made, with each noble family claiming a province of the empire as their own and paying lip service to the Imperator (leader of the empire). For a while peace was restored.
