Kingdom of Tyrraness

The Kingdom of Tyrraness was one of the earliest civilisations in Tyrrus. It was based around the ancient city of Tyrra, the first city in the region. The Kingdom built its culture around the respect of nature, and the worship of the light goddess Aysa. At its peak, the kingdom ruled most of the Everwood.
=== History ===
Tyrra was a thriving city for a long time prior to the founding of the kingdom, but it was not until the seventh century that it began to unite the nearby Lamorran tribes into becoming a single nation.
Tyrraness grew to significance under the rule of King Solas Sorrowsong, who expanded their territories, built the castle of Sorrowsong, and fought during the First Dragon War, on the side of Livia, against the dark Rune Kingdom. Such was Solas' heroism, that he became an Ascended of the Light.
During the Second Dragon War, large sections of the Everwood, and the city of Tyrra, were burned down by the fire dragonlord Salvakoryn. The inhabitants of the kingdom tried to rebuild, but only a few decades later, the demonic armies of Azjol destroyed the few remaining towns in the kingdom.
After this series of calamities, the people of the Everwood returned to their original tribal way of life, splitting off once more into fragmented tribes, in the early eighth century.
=== Overview ===
The Kingdom of Tyrraness was ruled by a monarchy, who was advised by a group of druids and priests. It was a highly centralised government, since Tyrra was the only city in the kingdom. Nevertheless, their territory spread far, as various tribes swore allegiance to the kingdom. By swearing allegiance, a tribe was granted protection from their enemies by the kingdom's soldiers, and the kingdom's healers would regularly visit the tribe, to provide healing and medicine, and to cast protective rituals to ward away disease.
The Kingdom of Tyrraness was unique among Tyrranean civilisations, in that they did not use metalworking. Almost everything in the kingdom was made from wood, stone, or bone. They made extensive use of Ironwood for weapons and armour, especially during the first Dragon War, so much so that for centuries afterwards, Ironwood was an incredibly scarce resource.
