Themes for the Kingdom
Tyria will be staying as close to the game mechanics as reasonably possible to make the learning curve to the Kingdom's culture easy to pick up and enjoy. Thus, our flavor is medieval European with light fantasy elements (with inspiration drawn specifically from the Holy Roman Empire).
Tyria is a diverse kingdom made up of multiple tribes (Neran, To'resk, Waerd, and Dras) and Religions (Virtori, Qin, al-Tafali); though the ruling dynasty are faithful Virtori Neran, Tyria extends the freedom of culture and religion to all its citizens.
