Who is King Thar?

King Thar ruled the Idylists, a group of peaceful Atlanteans, who had exiled themselves from Poseidonis , for 4,000 years. He, along with his brother Slizzath , had inherited magical power, so they both practiced sorcery. His wife was named Berra . Origin Slizzath resented Thar for his having power, believing he should have it. Slizzath was denied his birthright because he dabbled in the black arts by practicing necromancy – the evocation of the dead. He was banished from the Hidden Valley but returned 20 years later with an army of undead soldiers. Fearing his brother's attack, Thar assembled an armory of weapons, specifically designed to stop Slizzath. The Idylists, however, thought Thar was going insane.
