Tyrië

Tyrië is a fictional coastal region in the western part of the continent of Ethara in the fantasy setting of Eldoria. It consists of a federation of seven city-states along a crescent-shaped gulf, with rolling hills inland and mixed deciduous forests. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild summers and wet winters, supportive of agriculture, viticulture, and timber.

Historically, Tyrië grew from early trading communities into a seafaring culture. The city-states united into the Tyriëan Confederation to oversee common defenses and trade, while preserving local autonomy. The region prospered through maritime commerce, shipbuilding, and crafts such as glass and textiles. In recent centuries it has invested in ports, roads, and scholarship, hosting maritime academies and merchant schools.

Politics and administration: The Tyriëan Confederation is governed by the Council of Seven, representing each city-state, with a Chief Magistrate serving as ceremonial head of state. Policy decisions are made by consensus, with finance and defense requiring majority agreement.

Economy: Key sectors include shipbuilding, timber, fishing, wine production, and cloth manufacture. Lyrath and Merceport are the principal ports, functioning as hubs of regional trade and cultural exchange.

Culture and society: Tyrië is known for seafaring skill, navigational lore, and vibrant craft markets. Festivals honoring the Tide, harvests, and patron saints are widely observed. Tyriëan cuisine emphasizes seafood, citrus, olives, and herbs.

Notable sites: the Gate of Tides, the Temple of the Sea, the Glass Market in Lyrath, and the Harbour Academy.
