Euthora is a planet of the Manaverse. It orbits a single sun, Cor, and in turn is orbited by two moons, Shyr and Rae, named after the two gods of this planet and a sacred dragon. It consists of five main continents, most of which are broken into several countries.

Races
Most of Euthora is settled by humans, like other planets in the Manaverse. However, there are also four other races created by the Divine Spirits; the most well-known of these are the planet's dragons, a diverse race of several different species that appear more common than they actually are. There are also Shapeshifters anywhere that can possibly support Euthoran life, both in cities and in the wilderness. Rarer races are the elusive Lupynn and the almost never-seen Phoenix.

Theology
Euthoran religious beliefs center mostly on the two gods and the four Divine Spirits under them. According to legend, Cor and Rae created life on Euthora when it was nothing more than a barren stone orbiting a star. The world flourished in the sunlight, but most animals feared the night and "howling wolves warn(ed) of the moon". In anger, Rae- being the goddess of the moon- fought with her counterpart, Cor. The resulting battle lasted for years and nearly destroyed Euthora.
As a compromise, Cor and Rae created the four Divine Spirits to fight for them, with less damage to the planet. Instead they worked together to rebuild Euthora and created four of the five main races of the planet: humans, Shapeshifters, Lupynn, and Phoenixes. They quickly realized that their desired unity is ignored if each of them worked alone, so as their creators slowly came to a shaky truce, the Divine Spirits worked as one to create the dragon that would later be known by the name Shyr.
Euthora's theology is planetwide and accepted as a whole by the populace. It has also been a major influence in other areas: their sun is named "Cor", and their moons "Rae" and "Shyr"(Shyr being the smaller of the two).

Radiant Era
The Radiant Era is better known by Euthorans as "the days of the Skyking". It involves the creation and advancement of early Euthoran life. Dragons in these days are far rarer than in the Dissonant Era and considerably more powerful, ruling over small regions known as protectorates and given the title of Skyking. Society is generally little more than small towns and clusters of houses that pass for villages, and aside from the occasional feud, the land is relatively peaceful. These are the days of Shyr and his offspring, of Skyking Súndávr, and of Koth Grimseeker.
Dissonant Era
The Dissonant Era is also known as Euthora's Song. This period of time is defined by harsh conflict, particularly on the continent of Forvolrasuls, possibly influenced by the ever-growing tension between Cor and Rae. Many species of dragon go extinct in this era, and Durasken's rivalry between humans and Shapeshifters causes at least two small wars, in addition to a revolt that drives humans out of Durasken entirely. ===Harmonic Era===' The Harmonic Era is defined by both divine and mortal peace, with few wars and vast technological advancement. During this era, Euthora establishes trade with other planets in commodities such as stained glass, jewelry, furs, and exotic fruit. However, near the end of this era, most species on Euthora- including Shapeshifters, Lupynn, and most of the remaining dragons- go completely extinct. The end of the Harmonic Era is marked by the pantheon eradicating all life on Euthora in order to gain a fresh start.
Reformative Era
The Reformative Era begins with life returning to Euthora. While most old species- such as humans and shapeshifters- are absent, most beasts such as the Féniul and Sélrakh remain, as well as two species of dragon- the Voidwalker(now known as the Véredey) and Phasma(now known as the Setati). A few planets that had been trading with Euthora in the Harmonic Era probe for human life, and are met with harsh resistance as the planet seems to be actively attempting to kill them. The Voidwalker takes over as the dominant species on Euthora and no friendly contact with other planets is reestablished.
