Tyrraneans

Tyrraneans are the humans of Tyrrus. From the year 0 to 20.20, the people of Tyrrus were mostly isolated from the rest of the world, penned in by high mountains and the Storm Barrier. Tyrraneans are supposedly protected by the Dragon Sovereign Zythia.

Tyrraneans are descended from the Caerth, who came into the fertile valley of Caerland from the west. They are named after the city of Tyrra, which was supposedly the first city to be constructed in Tyrrus.

Tyrraneans possess advanced technology, compared to the rest of world.

## Tyrranean Ethnic Groups

### Alban

Albans are the inhabitants of the Hinterwald. They are descended from a mix of Whyteholders, Thassalians, and the native Athelings. They are renowned as being a particularly hardy group of people, even by Whyteholder standards.

### Erdannian

Erdannians are the people of the Erdannian Empire's heartland, in Southern Tyrrus. Most Erdannians have dark hair.

### Forest Dwellers

#### Atheling

The Athelings are a druidic tribal group who reside in the Hinterlands in the North-East of Tyrrus. They once controlled a group of kingdoms in Albavayn, known as the Atheling Petty Kingdoms.

#### Caerth

The Caerth are the oldest ethnic group in Tyrrus, and are the predecessor to all other groups in the region. All forest dwelling tribes in Tyrrus could be said to be of "Caerth" ethnicity, though most of the time they split into more specific groups, like the Athelings or Lamorran. There are few Caerth still in their ancestral home of Caerland, since they gave the land over to the Elves.

#### Lamorran

The Lamorran are a druidic tribal group who dwell in the Everwood. They are descended from the people of the Kingdom of Tyrraness, before that kingdom fell, and have now splintered into many smaller groups.

### Highlander

Highlanders are the inhabitants of the region between the Central Dominion of New Haven, and Caerland. They are descended from the ancient Zythan tribes.

### Loclander

Loclanders are the inhabitants of the Loclands, the Riverlands, the Barrows, and sometimes this is extended to Morvay too. They are descended from the ancient Zythan Tribes, and have been one of the core ethnic groups of the Dragonvale Republic, and later the Dominion of New Haven.

### Thassalian

Thassalians are the people of Thassalus and Silvershire. They are a mostly peaceful group of people, with a rich cultural history. They are said to be the most beautiful people in Tyrrus, and usually have blond hair.

### Mountain Dwellers

#### Zythesran

The Zythesrans are the dwellers of the Zythesra mountains, hidden among the Dragoncrags. They are particularly orthodox worshipers of Zythia, and share most in common with their ancestors of the Zythan tribes.

#### Vaskarr

The Vaskarr are a small group of technologically primitive people who reside in the eastern mountains of Tyrrus. They are a dwindling group, often considered barbaric by the other people of Tyrrus.

### New Havenite

New Havenites are the people of the city of New Haven. They can be easily identified by their bizarre hair colour, and are often magically gifted. They are perhaps the most recent ethnic group to appear in Tyrrus, having diverged from the Havenites and the Loclanders after founding the city of New Haven.

### Rivenish

The Rivenish people are the inhabitants of the Rivenwald. They are descended from a combination of Whyteholders, Thassalians, and Erdannians. They have a reputation as being excellent mercenaries.

### Whyteholder

Whyteholders are the people of the heartland of the Kingdom of Whytehold, which includes the King's Plateau and the White Cape. They are mostly descended from the Weits and the Reiks of Old Tyrrus. They are well known for being tall and broad-shouldered, with hair of blond or red.
