The World of Tir Elar

Aethrandis is the southeastern heartland and stronghold of the Empire of Eternal Dawn. It is a realm of fertile river valleys, vast plains, ancient forests, fortified cities and isolated villages that have survived beneath Imperial rule for centuries.

To those born within its borders, the Empire teaches that Aethrandis has always existed beneath the blessing of the Sun God, Belenus. History, however, tells a far older story…

Most mortals will never cross the borders into other realms, as they have been taught that unchecked magic is a sin. Many believe neither the Tus Loryow or the Tylweth Teg still exist.

Yet, beneath the Empire’s carefully curated history - the old trade roads remain. Ancient pacts linger. And beyond the Veil, older powers have never forgotten the united realm that once stood as a single, mighty Empire.

Amongst the oldest peoples in the world of Tir Elar, the Tus Loryow are the immortal elves who dwell to the southwest and occupy the Moon Throne.

Their name translates loosely as The People of Lore, reflecting a civilisation founded upon memory, truth and the preservation of history. While kingdoms have risen and fallen across Tir Elar since the dawn of time, the Tus Loryow have maintained libraries, courts and traditions stretching back thousands of years.

Where the fae are often associated with passion and power, the elves are remembered for discipline, scholarship and law.

Their cities are said to be carved from pale moonstone and silverwood beneath the light of the moon, where every oath is recorded, every lineage preserved. and every victory remembered and documented with care.

At the heart of their civilisation stands the An Lys Loryow which is the Court of Lore  - a body entrusted with safeguarding the collective memory of civilisation. Among the Tus Loryow, history is not merely studied; it is considered sacred.
To outsiders, the elves are reserved, enigmatic and slow to trust.

To themselves, they are simply the last custodians of a world sliding into destruction, since the first flame was extinguished many moons ago.

The Tylwyth Teg, translate as The Fair Folk, who are the immortal fae who once ruled to the northwest of Aethrandis, and historically have occupied the Sun Throne.

Renowned for extraordinary beauty, powerful magic and lives measured in centuries rather than decades, the Tylwyth Teg were once counted among the oldest races in existence in Tir Elar. To mortals, they have become legend- reduced to nursery tales and forbidden myths after centuries of Imperial censorship.
