The Thayads were a lineage created by the goddess Thard. The Lineage of the Thayads, or of Thard, was composed solely of women. Inspired by the Argonas, semi-divine guardians of the goddesses made by the goddess Maráhadar before the First Era, this lineage embodied the independence of women and established a kingdom ruled by a warrior queen, not by a king with a queen by his side. Thus, no men existed within the Thayad lineage, nor in its succession. This posed a critical issue: pure reproduction. Without men, there was no way to ensure the pure continuity of the line. The problem of reproduction, however, was resolved after the lineage’s creation by Thard. Resolving this matter was crucial for the lineage to thrive and endure across the Eras and Ages that would unfold throughout the realms. A solution was found, though it defied all that was known. But this was not a simple issue to accept or resolve, as it needed to be approved by Thuror and later by the High Council of the Gods. Initially, the solution met with strong opposition from most gods. The debate within the Council was intense, with arguments and counterarguments exchanged in both calm and heated tones. The first objection concerned the approach, as it was neither customary nor traditional. The second stemmed from the methods and those involved. The solution Thard found was for certain Thayads to reproduce with those of purest blood. However, this blood could not come from any of the existing lineages, as it would mix with the others, diluting the purity and dissipating the power bestowed by the gods. Thus, the solution was to continue the Thayad lineage with beings whose blood was not only pure but divine by nature. Only two possibilities existed, yet only one could suit the need. Since the Thuorom bore great wings, it was the Gontthers who were chosen. The choice of the Gontthers lay in the purity of their blood and their divine nature, as they had been created by Thuror in alliance with Naumathar. Moreover, as they comprised the Army protecting Mount Naumathar, they were of the utmost trust of the goddess Thard. After much deliberation, Thuror left the decision to the Gontthers themselves. When consulted about the eternal task, many volunteered, though only ten warriors, each with unique qualities and traits, were chosen. All understood the eternal sacrifice that would be required. The gods’ resistance lay in the lack of purity in the Thayad lineage and in the fact that the Gontthers did not belong to it. Thuror, however, explained that, as semi-divine beings with immortality and a Divine Lineage, their blood was far purer than that of the Thayads, even though the Thayads were god-descendants. With this understanding, the Thayad Lineage would remain pure and untarnished, and reproduction with the Gontthers presented no issue. Despite the thorough explanation, some gods, such as Gerndar, Therbás, Anuth, and the goddesses Ankaendhar and Akala, still opposed, as it was unclear what would be done with any male offspring. But what would be done with male children was to remain a closely guarded secret within Thard's Lineage.
