!!Thracean Pantheon

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Great King Thrace]]
The first leader of the 'Fourth' Tribe of Equestria, Thrace led his people on an exodus away from the other Three Tribes into the archipelagoes which would become the homelands of the Thracean Dominations, distilling upon them a Friendship-hating Social-Darwinistic philosophy which would eventually evolve into the doctrines the slavocratic, militaristic, expansionistic, totalitarian civilizations the Thraceans would follow. He would eventually ascend to become the TopGod of the Thracean Pantheon watching over them, although recently he's starting to have second thoughts at his own worldview and how his people turned out...
----
* DisappointedInYou: It's implied he's not entirely happy with how his people turned out, either because they had fallen short or they're going beyond [[EvenEvilHasStandards even what had in mind]].
* VillainousBSOD: Briefly went into one [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/991283735/5095368092 when]] King Kōkai - someone who was once very similar to him - showed him the kingdom he once lorded over and followed his earlier similar social-darwinist philosophy... or rather what remain of it after most of the population exterminated each other to prove their own superiority, leaving only the dead and scattered bands of psychopathic bands of raiders roaming and killing each other over the overgrown wastes it had become. Thrace was reportedly horrified upon seeing it, either from the horror-show or from a realization of just how the similar beliefs he and the Thraceans have could result in this as well.

----
* DefectorFromDecadence: Once sent to infiltrate and sabotage Equestria from within, Swift Foot was changed by her experiences there and decided to try and reform the Thracean people from the inside without success, becoming an ally of Equestria and a leader of Thracean dissidents and rebels in exile.
* ReformedButNotTamed: She's trying her best to change, but her Thracean upbringing still shows up every now and then. One [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/930826834/5092892128 incident]] post-defection saw her violently dislocating the claw of a Griffon waiter who served her the wrong drink on instinct due to being raised to treat slaves with cruelty and ruthlessness to ensure their continued fear, motivation and obediance, although she immediately regretted it afterwards.

** Their reliance on fear, brutal tortures, and inhuman treatment to maintain control over their slaves not only mean they require a constant influx of slaves to keep their Dominations functioning due to the sheer number of slaves that end up crippled or dead, but don't breed true loyalty. This not only leaves Deities able to dispel fear (such as [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/909949548/4986359467 Princess Marea Equestria]]) incredibly well-positioned to incite slave uprisings, but ultimately culminates in the 'Great Slave Revolt' that erupts all across the Thracean Dominations and their colonies.

* MightMakesRight: Thracean philosophy revolves around the presumption that beneath the veneer of morals and values the 'truth' of sapientkind and civilization is power and the pursuit of it, and believes themselves superior in that [[AtLeastIAdmitIt they don't need the excuses]] made by 'cowards and hypocrites' to justify their pursuit of it, pursuing power, conquest and domination of all others for its own sake because it is everything.

* VirtueIsWeakness: The Thraceans ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/930826834/5092891359 glorifies]]'' in the fact they not so much disregard friendship and violate the golden rule but outright reject them both for the 'vile lies' they are, calling it a crutch used by the weak to stand up to the strong and declaring they need no such things to thrive.

* {{Expy}}: While based on the Thracian Tribe from ''"[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFeatsOfFriendship Feats of Friendship]]"'', the Thracean Dominations drew much inspiration in both philosophy and personality from the [[Literature/TheDraka Domination of the Draka]].

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The Thraceans are infamous for their willingness to enslave literally anyone - including other Ponies - who are not themselves for their own purposes, controlling them with unimaginable cruelty and sadism. Having your limbs cut off and nailed to the door while whip wounds treated with poison are some of the more standard things Thracean slavers would do to abuse their slaves.
