## City Description

Tyragarde Pinnacle is the capital of Itramos, it is a bustling city of many trades and a pit stop for most sailors leaving or entering Velen through the Terretos Sea. The city itself is built below the mountains on the beaches, with a waterfall flowing from the cliffs downward into cobblestone carved rivers dividing the city into different districts. Perched on the cliff beside the waterfall is Tyragarde Castle, which is visible from all districts of the city. Tyragarde is patrolled by peacekeepers known as needles, and has a population of about 8,000.

## History

### Founding

Tyragarde Pinnacle was founded over 300 years ago by a group of sailors hired by a noble from Eyrr. Itramos Isle was spotted through thick mists, and the sailors took shelter there from the coming storm. In the dead of night, the native population of pixies there found the explorers and became friends. The noble forged an everlasting alliance with the Mystics Guild, in exchange for guiding the pixies across the three seas, they would be granted arcane powers. This tradition continues on to this day.

### The War of Thorns

When the Pirate King sieged the pinnacle, he also destroyed the majority of the city. Once the army reached their keep, the castle vanished leaving behind a green mist and a large crater. This event is referred to as the Battle for Tyragarde.

Later on during this war, the Misfits would return with House Duskwind, Belkarth, the Mystics Guild,
