Thalse is a land mentioned in several mythological accounts, said to have existed in northeastern Anásthiasplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAnásthias

Anásthias [a-NAS-thee-ass / ænæsθiːæs], or [an-ass-THEE-as] is an equatorial island continent, heart of the Civilised World. The north straddles the equator and is hot and humid, while most of the equatorial centre is an upland plateau with fertile river valleys, and stretches of arid plains and desert in the shadow of the mountains. The south is temperate but more wild, separated from the civilisations of the north by the almost impassable Harthera during the Emerald and Jade Epochs. Thalse was the original homeland of the Thalsic peoples, the ancestors of most of the population of modern Anásthias.

Thalse is mentioned in the Helevosien, the mythic history of the world written in the Anrel Isles. During the era of the Godmen, perhaps 12 millenia BMEplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigBME (Before Modern Epoch)

The Godmen were the mythical inhabitants of a landmass contiguous with the modern Natorn Archipelago, said to be the ancestors of all the Thalsic peoples of the northern Civilised World. In the Emerald Epoch they created the first great civilisation, referred to as the Realm of the Godmen. The Godmen are said to be mytho-historic, memories of an ancestor race shrouded by millennia of HartheraAnrelAnrelherherAnrelAnrel fled over the seas and built a new land on a hostile continent, which they called Thalse.

Modern historians believe Thalse was a peninsula of northeastern Anásthias, then roughly 600 km from the landmass of Arelia. The Junda Isles are today all that is left of the ancient land of Thalse.
