Southern Skaro
By some accounts, the southern continent of Skaro was the original home of the Thals. Alongside Northern Skaro, it was one of the planet's two continents. It had a largely highland landscape.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the early millennia of Skaro, Northern and Southern Skaro were connected. Circa -1,030,000 TL (equivalent to 1,100,709 BC), the first hominids evolved on the combined continents of Skaro. By -190,000 TL (260,709 BC), sapient humanoids had evolved in all parts of Skaro's continents.
In -2000 TL (72,709 BC), the Great Disaster occurred, splitting the two continents. In the era afterwards, the now-isolated modern Skarosians who remained on Southern Skaro began to develop in a different direction to the Northern Skarosians, eventually becoming the Thals. They lived a nomadic hunter/gatherer lifestyle. The highlands of the continent meant that the Thals were exposed to more cosmic radiation.
In 62,000 TL (8709 BC), the Thals mastered agriculture and became making permanent settlements, with one such location being the Thal plateau. They began venturing beyond the continent into Skaro's seas.

In 66,300 TL (4408 BC), oceanic exploration led to the Thals encountering the Kaleds of Northern Skaro. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"]) Northern Skaro, seen by Thals as the "New Land", became the centre of Skarosian culture, with the Thals migrating there.
