Some info on the ruling class
The Past: 35,000 years ago.
N'ria, first Azkil of the Thir and her people land on the planet Padir only to find its people technologically challenged and plagued by the ravages of war, famine and disease.
Despite the initial misgivings of Ch'thn, their head of security, the Thir set about doing what they can to assist the Padira while they themselves go about the business of preparing for a return trip to their home world.
To ensure that all goes smoothly, the Thir allow the Padira to believe them to be living Gods.
The Present: 35,000 years later
Z'han, the only child of Z'mad The All-Father, upon her father's death not only inherits his position but now finds herself in a unenviable position:
Does she accept the word of her father's oldest friend-the very man who taught her all she knows when he tells her that all she has ever been taught to believe about herself, her people and the very basis of their rule is a lie.
Or, maintain the status quo-even if that means to continue perpetuating a lie, and therefore condemn her teacher and any and all who would dare to stand with him-among them Tro, her fience, to death.
A tough enough decision to be sure, made all the more so by the fact that Z'han is at best ambivalent about her position-A fact well known to all the members of the Thiran High Council, the ruling body for both the Thir and the Padira. any number of whom on both sides of the debate prepare to do everything possible to either sway Z'han to tbheir cause, or undermine her position and take control.
Introducing, the Thir
A list of who's who and what they do.
Ch'thn-First Thiran Head of Security-PAdiran God of War
Z'mad-35th Thiran Azkil, AKA The All-Father to the Padira. At 1,500 years of age he is considered to be one of the longest lived Thir as well as having the reputation for being one of their most ruthless leaders.
Z'han-36th Azkil, only daughter of Z'mad, reluctantly takes on the mantle of leadership-Often finds herself wondering if her life would have been simply had she been born a rock.
Oscal the Elder-Head of Education. AKA God of Learning. His responsibilities including personally overseeing the training of Z'han, K'lon, Tro and several others on the Council. He heads the push to free not only the Padira but the Thir as well from what he sees as their situation of mental slavery.
Pa'ar-AKA Padiran God of Youth, Beauty and Love. Along with being Oscal's younger brother, Pa'ar can best be described as an opportunist who will use anyone in anyway he sees fit in order to achieve his desires. and his desire is to keep things are they are.
K'lon-Commander of all security and military operations. AKA Padiran Goddess of War. Says nothing more than what she feels is necesary, keeps her own counsel in all things.
Rh'zhn-Captain of the Thiran Host, second-in-command to K'lon. Far more emotional than K'lon, but no less dedicated.
Tro the Hunter-PAdiran God of The Hunt, fiance to Z'han. He sides with Oscal in the struggle to see the truth accepted.
Poral the Healer-Chief of all Medical Operations. AKA Padiran God of Healing. The younger cousin of Tro. While a bit of a hot head, Poral has a good heart and only wants to do what he thinks is best for both the Thir and the Padira.
The Lady Naj-Goddess of The Arts, leads Oscal's defense during his trial and will share in his death sentence should he stand convicted of Heresy and Treason.
The Lady Z'ni-Goddess of Wisdom, she stands in judgment over the Padira and co-leads the opposition to Oscal with his brother Pa'ar.
Shn'dav-Chief Architect of the Thir. AKA God of Arciecture. Shy, easily intimidated, Shn'dav worhsips Pa'ar, who treats his younger cousin and some time lover with contempt.
Adva-Cousin of Z'han. She serves as Z'han's personal attendant.
D'net-Chief among the mysterious "Stewarts of Heaven", he is a pleasant, agreeable person who, unlike his cousin Z'han has no problems when it comes to being in command.
Meet the Thir
This way you have faces to go with the names
I know by now you've been checking these lenses out and hearing me talking about getting the filmed version of the story made and wondered-Okay, but who's playing the parts?
Well, meet the cast, starting with these lovely people right here
Concept Art: thiran Costumes
These are not the final costume designs, these are just to give the costume dept an clear idea of what I'm looking for.
So, what do you think?
We want to hear from our readers (We know you're out there). Tell us what you think about the Thir-Do you like them-Do you think Z'han made the right choice, or should Pa'ar have acted sooner? Are you looking forward to the movie?
C'mon gang, we're dying to hear from you.

A little something to help you visualize
This is where you can see our animatics for the film. An animatic is basically just the storyboards for a film put together like a short film to give people an idea of the style and tone of the film itself-sort of like seeing the movie before the movie gets made.
We will also be listing interviews and other things we think might be of interest.
