The **Tiranian Archipelago** is the principal region of the Tiranian Empire. It was formerly one of the constituent regions of the Aurelian Republic after the Traveler's Conquest, but seceded during the Dystopian Heretic War under King Lenard. Following the Enlightened Genocide, the Tiranian Empire waged war against the Heretic Empire, when King Lenard found out that the Enlightened living on Tirania were brutally killed. This action led the entire country into a full lockdown. Not allowing anyone from leaving or entering until the war ends. Sometime during the War, the country was promptly invaded by the Heretic Empire. After the War, and when King Lenard regained control of the country, Tirania once again joined the Aurelian Republic. Katelynn Tezzar finally allowed the country to become independent shortly after the resolved conflict of the Tiranian Uprising

The Country of Tirania is ruled from the castle of Limenas, once ruled by King Lenard. It is the smallest of the eight major regions of the continent. Its total population is under one million. Tirania is also considered the poorest region of the Aurelian Republic.

## Culture

Tirania is a mysterious and isolated country located off the coast of Western Harpeia. It has long been known as a place that is difficult to reach, as the country has closed its borders since the beginning of the War of the Dark Ages. Tirania has remained neutral throughout the war and has been locked down ever since, forbidding entry to outsiders due to outside conflicts and dangerous individuals. The Emperor of Tirania has been strict with this rule, and only the nobility are allowed to use magic to portray themselves as gods, while the commoners are forbidden from doing so.

The customs and traditions of Tirania have developed over time as a result of their isolation from the outside world. One of the most notable customs is their strict hierarchical system, which is based on social class and bloodlines. The Emperor and the noble class hold all the power, and the commoners have no say in the government or society. This strict social hierarchy has been in place for centuries, and it is deeply ingrained in the culture of Tirania.

Another unique aspect of Tirania's culture is their use of magic. While the commoners are not allowed to use magic, the noble class has access to it and uses it to their advantage. Magic is a part of their everyday life, and it is used for everything from transportation to communication. It is considered a symbol of power and status, and the nobility use it to portray themselves as superior beings. Despite being closed off from the rest of the world, Tirania is not devoid of life. The ancient cities of Tirania are still inhabited by those who have been born and raised there. These cities are home to the nobility and their servants, who maintain the cities' infrastructure and keep the country running. The architecture of these cities is a blend of ancient and modern styles, showcasing the country's history and its present state.

The Emperor of Tirania is a figure of mystery and intrigue, as little is known about him or his reign. He has maintained a strict grip on his country, and the people of Tirania are deeply loyal to him. Despite the rumors that the Emperor is a ruthless ruler, his subjects believe that he is a just and fair leader, and his decisions are always for the good of the country.
