Location[]

Tyr is located on the Tablelands, near the Ringing Mountains. It claims the broad central part of Tablelands. It was one of the few cities with an Iron mine and was thus quite wealthy.

From Tyr to Draj, humans are the dominant people, dwarfing other populations in the city-states.

The History of Tyr[]

Tyr was ruled by Sorcerer-King Kalak for a thousand years in a reign of terror. He was iron-fisted and refused to listen to his council of city elders. Drawing near the end of his reign, Kalak began the construction of a massive ziggurat in the arena. None were sure what the structure was for until the entire population was called to the arena to watch the Ziggurat games. As soon as the fight ended (which featured the champion Mul gladiator Rikus and his fighting partner Neeva) a great obsidian structure shot through the ziggurat and began to drain the life out of the spectators. None could escape, for the gates had been closed and could not be opened from the inside. The reason became apparent: Kalak was accelerating his transformation into a Dragon by robbing all the citizens of their life energies. At the last moment, Rikus would strike Kalak with the Heartwood Spear, and although this did not kill the evil king, a band of heroes would finally end Kalak's thousand-year reign of evil.
