Tirahnys

**Tirahnys** is one of eleven continents on Newerth and is located in the Serenth Galaxy. Despite only being a single continent, most of the Xyrinfe Shadow Project has taken place there which makes it an important location throughout the series.

## Name

Pronunciation: tu-ran-is

IPA: /tɜˈrænɪs/

Adjective form: Tirahnysan

## Currency

The currency of Tirahnys is the gold dinar, the silver centime and the bronze ducat. 100 ducats equal 1 centime, and 100 centimes are equal to 1 dinar.

## Education

Schools in Tirahnys, like all others are designed to educate. All Tirahnysan schools were decreed to have school uniforms, once Ilina Horton became President as she believed that school uniforms would help with studying and learning. Primary schools are for students ages 10 to 14. High schools are for students ages 15 to 20, and finishing Grade 10 is a requirement for most jobs on the continent. Universities are located only in the cities on the continent, though school uniforms aren't enforced for them and universities are technically optional depending on the job.

Some jobs can be taken while a student is still in school, such as modelling (which allows students at the age of 17 and older to be fashion models).

#### Schools and Uniforms

* Yes Town: Lady Ilina personally chose the school uniforms, as she was attending the school prior to her disappearance. While Yes Town has two schools, they both are very close by, separated by the sports fields where students spend their breaks most of the time.

They wear dark pink skirts as well, though during autumn and winter they may wear grey trousers. They also wear dark pink knee-high socks or, during autumn and winter, black tights; they also wear black school shoes. During winter, gloves and scarves are optional but have to be black; scarves can be dark pink and fingerless gloves aren't allowed. Hair accessories may be worn, but have to be dark pink or black.

## Laws

Most of the Tirahnys laws were unfair towards people because Mi'aro Genryutsukei was a Dark Elf who treated humans and most non-elven races with disdain and hatred.

* Spell casting and knowing spells by non-elves are both illegal on this continent and punishable by death.
* Theft is illegal and is punishable by ten years in jail.
* Attacking elves is illegal and is punishable by becoming a tree for all eternity.
* Visiting the Sky Island or Garmia Spire is forbidden. Anyone found there will be arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
* People from other planets are forbidden in Tirahnys. Any such person will be arrested and given a death sentence.

## Presidents

* The republic of Tirahnys, being a democratic nation, has its heads of state as presidents. As it turns out, age doesn't seem to matter all that much, considering that Ilina Horton has been President since she was 10.
	+ Mi'aro Genryutsukei (b. 1915; 2013 - 2015; current)
	+ Lady Ilina (b. 1996; 2006 - 2013; status unknown)

### Non-Canon

#### Between AS and SS4

Follwing the events of *Solar Shadow 3 (tech demo)*, Valerie Horton's sanity is restored and the Curse of the Castle Masters comes to an end. In 2030, an agreement is formed between Valerie and the Tirahnysan government, in which Valerie is allowed to keep a section of land on Tirahnys' North coast. She uses this land to found the Republic of Jalista. Its capital, Nicotine City, eventually becomes one of the greatest cities on Newerth, despite its severe problem with air pollution.

Eron Araia Armweak attempts to sell her robots to Tirahnys, but they reject her offer because they believe that, by having certain gifted students undergo intense training at sophisticated facilities, one can create elite supersoldiers, each as strong as thousands of robots. She later tries to sell her robots to Jalista, but is again rejected because they believe that their experimental drug, Magenta, can be used to turn anybody into a supersoldier. She thus chooses to keep her robots for her own purposes.

#### Solar Shadow 4

In 2059, Valerie's half-elf son, Jiroth Caldera Horton, is elected President of Jalista. However, while he is in reality a mediocre leader who accomplishes little, Milo Oceanstep perceives him as a crazy authoritarian tyrant and attempts to destroy him. However, Jiroth is saved by the leader of the Elite Guard, Shinova Armweak, and Milo is apprehended.
