History
Themboldis was the first area to be heavily populated by phrinu, and is considered the cradle of Karsene civilization, at least among the Starborn.

Geography and Climate
Most of Themboldis has a temperate climate and relatively flat grassland terrain, suitable for large-scale agriculture and hunting. Large cities are often the only major landmarks for miles around.

The extensive coastline of Themboldis is famous for its picturesque beaches, fishing culture, and interesting colors of sand. Local legends tell tales of ghostly mermaid-like creatures haunting the shores in the distant past, diving out of sight before letting viewers catch more than a glimpse.

Demographics
Themboldis has the highest ratio of phrinu to other races on Karsen. Phrinu in Themboldis tend to be more suspicious of drakes and faeries because of this, and genocides have been instigated by various Themboldese rulers throughout its history and supported by the citizenry.

Government and Politics
Themboldis is unique among Karsene states for being a collection of cantons ruled by a king in a semi-decentralized manner. Each canton is ruled by a hereditary ruler.
