Empire of Tyria

The Empire of Tyria was a chartered hereditary monarchy on the western continent of Zavala, south of its territory of Norhold and north of the Tapiri Dominion and Kogano. Centralized in Solgarde, it was led by the reigning monarch of Emperor, his council known as the Assembly who conducted much of the day-to-day, led by the Hand of the Emperor.
With the ascension of Empress Tyria, the Second Age began and so did a golden age of the Empire.
==History==
Branching from the Tyrus Freehold, then-newly crowned Slave-Queen Tyria raised a force of hundreds of thousands of fomrer slaves and elf rebels, with support also coming from Norm migrants in the Wolveswood to the north, to further liberate of their chained kin under the elven blight of the Valhey Dominion. Within a decade she had taken the fight south, pushing the elves and their allies into Tapiri territory and south-east past the Calytera Forest back to their ancestral land.
After two decades of fighting, Dar'sol seceded from the Dominion, forcing the Grand Lord of the Valhey into the Tyrian Charter; leading to disarmament of their forces and de-militarization of many holds, paid tribute, cessation of lands, and secretly the execution of certain high-born Valhey officials. While the Dominion initial stance was surrender, it was well known, many holdouts still existed wishing to bring about the rebirth of elven supremacy. One such figure eventually founded the Order of Nor.
