Lyrion

Lyrion is a fictional continent used as a setting in fantasy literature and role-playing games. It features diverse environments—from coastal plains to rugged highlands—and a tapestry of cultures with long-standing legends of rivers, wind, and song.

Geography centers on the western Tamarin lowlands and eastern Sable Peaks, with a coast on the Silver Sea. Inland plateaus host towns and fortifications; rivers and sea routes link settlements, supporting a climate that ranges from maritime to alpine.

History: Early city-states traded along rivers; a later federation, the Lyrion Concord, unified several duchies under common law. Over centuries, diverse languages and faiths emerged, shaping regional identities that persist in contemporary narratives.

Governance: Often depicted as a feudal federation with semi-autonomous duchies and a ceremonial monarch. A central council of noble delegates approves treaties and major projects, while local rulers manage day-to-day affairs.

Economy and culture: Agriculture, mining, and crafts form the backbone; key exports include timber, wool, and metalwork. Cultural life centers on music, storytelling, and ritual poetry, with regional styles across coastal, riverine, and highland communities. Multilingualism is common.

Notable sites: Glass City of Lysara, Sable Pass, and the Library of Echoes, a repository of historical manuscripts and song. These landmarks anchor Lyrion’s geography and serve as frequent settings in stories about the continent.
