The Ruins of Tyr

## General Information

Tyr was a Small town of about 500 people, nothing more then a Hamlet on a hill. its main exports were rare regrets found only in the mountains and the wool of the mountain sheep they raise in the lowlands. they were mostly subsistence farmers who worked hard every day to just scrape by. A few months ago their was a call for all available troops to convene on the city it was said it was to stem aggression from The East and The West. Tyr has a peculiar poison in the world being located at the apex of all three nations boarders, even while being federated along side the other Free Cities. While staying on their respective sides of the borders they all converged on the city and in the middle of the night when they did something happened, and their was a blinding light and force and everything was whipped out leaving nothing but a crater in the place of the city of Tyr.

## History

### The Founding of Tyr 500BH

Tyr was founded Long ago during the Age of Dragons, before men had even set foot on this planet yet, it was named For the mighty Green Dragon Tyrana who lived in the low laying hills of the Iron Mountains, it is said Tyrana is the one who taught the dwarves the art of stone masonry, and was known as one of the greatest craftsmen of all of the world by the other dragons due to their ability to transmute stone into whatever they wished.

When the dwarfs first came out of the mountains they tended not to stray far from their mother-mountains warm embrace. Tyr was the farthest removed dwarven settlement for many generations and thus relied quite heavily on their patron Tyranas guidance in this new world. She taught them how to mold the stone in their image, how to bring out what they wanted to see from the world around them, a skill that would go on to define the Dwarven people

### The Slaying of Tyrana 460AH

with the rise of men came the demise of the dragons, Humans arrogantly misinterpreted the relationship the original races had with their dragon patrons, they sought to slay the dragons that they saw as the gods of these people. Tyrana was the first dragon to be slaughtered, attacked in her sleep in her own den by the Imperial Army of King Reagar. She but up a valiant fight which shook the very ground beneath Tyr. but was ultimately the first head to hang in Castle Drakovia. During the looting of the dragons corpse they found that the dragons massive heart was a large cut gem. While trying to remove the crystalline heart, him and his troops bloody and battered from the battle, came face to face with the citizen of Tyr who rose up and trapped hundreds of both themselves and King Reagar's men in Tyranas Lair, there by protecting her heart and locking it away.

### Occupation By The Union Republic 500AH-2000AH

After The Slaying of Tyrana, King Reagar and a small portion of his army were able to escape to The Black Forest of Davilivencia to the south to regroup. While the newly formed Union Republic stepped in to oversee the area. The Dwarves of the Union Republic ordered Tyranas Lair to be hidden in stone for none to find and imposed harsh restrictions on personal freedoms on the populace to keep more people finding out what was hidden here, using prison labor to bury the mass tomb, rumor says that the guards and crafts people would let the prisoners fall where they were working and die there so that they could be buried into the stone work. It took 335 years of hard labor to completely hide The Tomb of Tyrana after which the union republic supposedly had everyone who worked on it beheaded.

### Joining the Free Cities 2002 AH

By 2000 Tyr's soil had been reduced to mud and rubble, it stands nothing more then a small hamlet of houses and sad dreary farms, the mountain sheep that are herded in these parts bring a brief glimmer of something brighter. it was land freedom that pushed Tyr to succeed with the other free cities, which they called the Sheep Rebellion as they wanted more room to roam their sheep in the area, But the few Union Republic soldiers who get posted here to "protect the people from the dangers of the Wilderness" Wouldn't let the people up over the hill. When The Brotherhood of The City Guard marched into town they were easily able to over take the few legacy deployments in this area and push them deep into the mountains there by taking the town for The Free Cities.

### Since then 2020 AH

The Brother Hood has found the Tomb of Tyrana but doesn't know what it is,

The Union Republic knows its a matter of time until The Brotherhood finds it,

King Drakovious Is still looking for the Heart of Tyrana but doesn't know where the tomb is.
