Fate of the Therns?[]

Now, its a bit confusing but in warlord of mars some are mentioned as being under the rule of a new leader, he is not named and his race is not specified referred to as he, and after in the book it is said some swore alliance to xodar. . . but as far as i can tell that is all that is known. I have only read up to warlord of mars. ralok 21:59, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Are you referencing the original book, or the comic book adaptation?
If I recall correctly, in the original book series, by the time the events of Thuvia kick off, the Therns have become a broken, scattered people, and most of them have turned to mercenary work. I'll see if I can find it in my Dover edition... -- Gnostic 19:07, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

I am referring to the books, i havent read any of the comic book series yet. According to it some found guidance under an unspecified new leader, and otehrs under the black martians, ad some remained loyal to the false religion maintaining temples in countries that still followed htat religion, and some just wandered away. So basically, yes they were a scattered and broken people. ralok 23:09, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

That is in Warlord. I've managed to find my Dover edition of 3 Martian Novels. In Thuvia, Maid of Mars, which takes place several years after the events of Warlord of Mars, the therns have become integrated into Red Martian society. Later, in Chessmen of Mars, it's mentioned in passing that a "little band" of therns had been attempting to resurrect their cult, but it is implied that even among their own people, they found little success. -- Gnostic 04:55, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Where exactly is this mention of the new unnamed leader? I have been looking over both Gods and Warlord and can find no mention of it... -- Gnostic 18:56, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Religion[]

should a new page be created concerning thernian religion, or should it just go somewhere here ?, also gnostic if you read this please check out the okar talk page . . . because i like to brag about how i noticed that minute detail, provin how pathetic of a human being i truly am :( i have gone and made myself sad through self realization ralok 04:13, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Im not sure I would say yes or just create a section in the Therns page about religion. {{SUBST:Template:Sniperteam82308}} 04:26, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
