Biography
Thallid Creation
Thelon of Havenwood was an elvish druid from Sarpadia during the Fallen Empires period of Dominaria's Dark Age. As conventional foods such as fruit and animals were becoming increasingly scarce due to the changes in climate following the Sylex Blast, Thelon made it his task to find a new food source. He found that the only things that were successfully growing were wild mushrooms and fungi, which he decided to vigorously cultivate using green mana and a method similar to the Order of the Ebon Hand method to create the thrulls.[1] Calling them the thallids they were raised as if cattle producing saprolings that made excellent food.
Thelonite Order
This saved the elves of his native Havenwood from starvation and led to the creation of an order of elves and insects called the Thelonites. The Thelonites were a dark order of druids and monks that used sacrifices in order to bring about new life.[2] The saprolings the thallids produced made excellent fodder for their practices.
Thallid Revolution
Thelon's miracle was short-lived, as over time the fungi, termed thallids, grew sentient and aggressive. Debate raged across the elves over whether or not they were truly intelligent and how to treat them. This rift at it's highest was represtend by the Thelonite druid Morgan and the Master Scout Loren. Morgan believing them nothing more than fodder for food and cultivation would eventually ambush and kill Loren. Loren's death would further widen the rift between the two elven factions allowing for the thallids to over run all of Havenwood in almost a single day.[3]
The Future
Thelon's specific fate is unknown, but it is likely that he was amongst those killed by the thallid swarm. Thousands of years after the fall of the elves, Thelon would be was among those granted a second chance at life thanks to the ravaging rifts in time in Dominaria's post-apocalypse era. Their he would bear witness to the death of all Dominaria, but would see the thallids thriving in the apocolyptic wastes. It is unknown whether Thelon would disappear when the rifts were healed.
