Cyre was a human kingdom in the southeast of the continent of Khorvaire, and formerly one of the Five Nations of the kingdom of Galifar. Once, it was described as the brightest and most beautiful of the Five Nations and called Beautiful Cyre, Wondrous Cyre, the Jewel of Galifar, and even the Purple Jewel of Galifar's Crown. But it suffered and was dragged low during the Last War, before the entire realm was destroyed by a cataclysmic event known as the Mourning. Now, it is known as the Mournland.[1][2][3][6][7][8] At its height, Cyre once included parts of what are now Valenar and Darguun.[9][10][11][12] It is the homeland of the displaced Cyran peoples.[13]

Before the War, Cyre was renowned for its cultural achievements in artifice, artistry, jewelry, music, philosophy, and oratory, and for representing the best of Galifar.[3][8] It was a peaceful realm[13] even a paradise to many in the Kingdom of Galifar, described as a place where arcane dreams were made manifest. However, its detractors decried it as a realm of arrogance and decadence.[1] Either way, it was considered the most beautiful and artistically developed of any of the Five Nations, known for its artistic traditions, elegance, and style[2] and as a monument to the magical and artistic accomplishments of the Kingdom of Galifar. It had great centers of learning and state-of-the-art development in the fields of magic, artifice, and architecture.[8]

What our dreams imagine, our hands create.
— National Motto of Cyre[1]

Population[]

According to the census of 992 YK, Cyre had a population of 1,500,000 people.[1] The majority of Cyrans were humans, half-elves, and halflings, with some changelings and shifters also represented.[2]

Cyran humans are generally gracile, with slender builds and long limbs. They are known for an innate and easy grace, as well as a poise and elegance that humans of other nations admire. Most have wavy dark hair, though a few are born with pure white hair, which is traditionally linked to magic. Customarily, white-haired young Cyrans are encouraged to practice magic, and many seem to have a knack for it. Cyrans favor hair cut to a medium length and left loose to shift freely as the move.[14]

The warforged were first created in Cyre.[15]

Culture[]

Cyran culture values diversity, flexibility, and versatility in all areas of life, from skills to mindsets. Cyrans consider themselves to incorporate elements of culture from all over Khorvaire.[3] The Cyrans prefer to enjoy life and the fruits of their work,[1] and even after the obliteration of their nation, Cyrans avoid melancholy and hold to a forward-thinking and unique culture.[16]

They were just a fad in Cyre, part of the Cyran appreciation, for dancing. Gliding along the city streets, women, children street-gliding, even at the height of the war. Oh, you wouldn't understand.
— Forley, a revenger of Cyre nostaglic over gliding boots[17]

The "Cyran appreciation" is central to Cyran culture and outlook. This is a philosophy, even a lifestyle, centered around appreciating beauty and magic and encouraging innovative and unconventional practices, not just in art but in life as a whole.[1] One example of the Cyran appreciation was the use of gliding boots—shoes with clockwork wheels—for dancing and gliding down the streets and at the Gliding Balls that kicked off the social calendar in the autumn.[17] Once, the Cyran appreciation was a virtue, impressive and wondrous to all the Five Nations, but during the War propaganda and nasty rumor painted it[1] as softness and frivolity[17] and as indulgence and excess.[1] In turn, under the darkness of war, some Cyran nobles engaged in darker pursuits, leading to a reputation for decadence, immorality, and vile habits.[1] After the War, the survivors struggle to keep up the Cyran appreciation, and this leads to misunderstandings among their host nations.[1]

The Cyrans have a tradition of artisanry that dates back centuries.[13] Thanks to this, Cyre had a reputation for fine arts and crafts and for quality manufactured items. Rich folk across the Five Nations pride themselves in owning pieces by Cyran master artists.[6] Cyre employed many bards and minor wizards, and the dragonmarked houses, to construct a wondrous realm exhibiting light and grace.[14] Cyran wizards are known for their illusions.[18] Cyran magic ranges from the practical to the extravagant.[14] At one end of this scale is the spellsong nightingale, an all-in-one magic item, construct, and spellbook fashioned to resemble a clockwork songbird that was popular with Cyrans who dabbled in magic and had the money to afford them.[19] Some Cyran inventions remain proprietary—the experimental clockwork armor is still claimed as the property of Cyre alone.[20]

Cyre was the cultural center of the Five Nations[21] being the perennial birthplace of new trends and styles that spread across the continent, in the fields of art, music, fashion, and more,[1] though after the Mourning their art has understandably become somewhat darker.[16] The Cyrans love to change, experiment, and advance their art, pushing boundaries and shocking others with how far they'll go to do it.[1][14] Just about every Cyran knows a form of artistic expression: drawing, painting, singing, sculpting, or magic—it does not matter which. But, in particular, every Cyran knows how to dance the tago, learning it when young and becoming adept at it in social occasions over the course of their lives. It is considered the birthright of every Cyran.[14]

Cyran bard

Traditional Cyran fashion is similar to Aundairian fashion, but focuses more on the bright colors and less on flamboyance in hats and ruffles.[2][3] Glamerweave is especially favored.[3] It varies widely in cut and style, yet often features long flowing parts, typically wide sleeves and short cloaks; Cyrans enjoy attire that billows and ripples with the slightest breeze. However, the most common and obvious attire is gloves. Almost every Cyran owns and wears a pair of gloves, whether short and sturdy for work and combat or longer, finely made and decorated for formal occasions. Cyrans rarely revealed their hands; a handshake from an ungloved Cyran hand is a show of great trust.[14] However, Cyrans also enjoy jewelry to a degree many think is vulgar;[2][14] they acquire whatever pieces they can afford, preferably loose dangling bracelets, earrings, and necklaces, and especially with small bells or colorful feathers. The grandest items are the complex headdresses that extend from the brow and across the head and down to the shoulders and even far down the back. In fact, Cyrans are so well dressed that formal occasions are not discernible by clothing but by greater use of jewelry, as well as masks. Costumes were the rule at balls and festivals.[14] After the War, while some Cyrans hold rebelliously to their old fashions, others adopt the attire of their new homes to make do or blend in.[2][3] Nevertheless, their fashions are chic and daring still. The latest, common among the young, is "mourningwear" or "Mourning wear", which is dark or black but flamboyant in the standard Cyran cut and intended to remember a country they barely knew.[3][16]

However, the Last War saw the once beautiful Cyre become a battlefield as it faced enemies on all sides. Its people and culture suffered and many of its great works were lost, even before the Mourning destroyed them utterly.[1][6] As it shrank, its outer settlements were often left razed while the cities were populated with refugees and poor and homeless folk, their beauty fading.[2][7] Arguably, Cyre suffered the greatest of all the Five Nations.[7]

Like most of Khorvaire, worship of the Sovereign Host was the majority religion in Cyre,[2][3] although a significant minority followed the Silver Flame.[3] However, the Cyrans were not especially religious and only infrequent worshipers of the Host.[14] After the Mourning, many struggle with their faith or abandon it entirely, or hold even more closely to it through their ordeals, and others turn to dark alternatives.[2][3] The Cyran priests of the Sovereign Host faith have since largely been absorbed into the hierarchies of their new nations, but some have started independent, even unorthodox, sects of their own,[22] with some even turning away from the gods to certain radiant idols.[23] Cyran refugees make up a sizeable portion of the Ashbound and the Children of Winter[24] and the most maddened have even joined Cults of the Dragon Below such as the Mourning Circle[25] and that of the mind flayer Chyrassk in Sharn.[26][27]

Tomorrow in Cyre.
— A common Cyran expression of hope, grief, and the desire to reclaim what was lost[14]

Every Cyran remembers where they were on the Day of Mourning and how they survived; it is etched into their memory. And every Cyran knows what caused it; this is more than a theory, it is a certain belief, even if every Cyran has a different explanation for it.[14] Each year on 20 Olarune, Cyrans everywhere come together to remember their lost homeland, by telling tales of the fallen, teaching their history to their children, and performing traditional songs and dances of Cyre, though a few recall only the Last War and curse the remaining four nations.[28]

Alone and isolated, the majority look after themselves and their closest friends and families and try to cling onto their culture and appreciation.[16] Some endeavor to preserve Cyran culture and speak of its wonders, and they seek a new homeland for their people.[2] However, many still harbor grudges, even burning hatred, against all the other Five Nations over the Last War and their treatment following the Day of Mourning.[1][16] The most extreme and vindictive become Cyran avengers, who seek to get to the truth of the Mourning and get justice or revenge for Cyre, and to protect those who survived, with or without evidence.[2][29][30] A secret society known as the Covenant of the Gray Mist and others work to investigate the Mourning and cleanse the Mournland.[31][30] Others fight for the future, protecting Cyrans and trying to claim a new homeland, such as the group called Dannel's Wrath in Stormreach.[30] Some are simply terrorists, such as the Mourning Dawn.[30]

Society[]

"Everything I love has been destroyed. All that's left is my revenge." – Mirasandra ir'Thavar, a half-elf Cyran avenger.

Cyran adventurers are often artificers, fighters, wizards, and clerics of the Sovereign Host, and may even become archmages, eldritch knights, hierophants, loremasters, and master inquisitives.[13] Many who follow the code of the samurai are Cyran[32] and a bare handful of Cyran knights remain after the Mourning—proud and exceptional, they hold tight to their honor, for it is all that they have left.[33] Cyran warmages also keep alive their craft, especially in New Cyre.[34]

They are often skilled in diplomacy, the healing arts, and crafting items of various kinds.[13] Since the Mourning, they have also been forced to be enduring and streetwise.[2]

Royalty & Nobility[]

Under Galifar's system of succession, Cyre was ruled by one of the children of the current king. Over the centuries, a tradition formed that the governor-prince of Cyre was the child that would become the next king or queen of Galifar.[3]

After being governor-prince of the state of Cyre in 858 YK, Mishann ir'Wynarn declared herself Queen at the outbreak of the Last War in 894 YK, but maintained her claim to Galifar. She reigned until 908 YK.[16]

She was succeeded by Brusst ir'Wynarn, who reigned from 908 YK to 913 YK.[16]

Brusst was succeeded by Connos ir'Wynarn, who reigned from 914 YK to 942 YK.[16]

Connos was succeeded by Queen Dannel ir'Wynarn, who reigned from 943 YK. She was the last ruler of Cyre and was slain in the Mourning in 994 YK.[2][16]

Oargev ir'Wynarn

A portrait of Prince Oargev ir'Wynarn, the last scion of Cyre.

The only surviving scion of Cyre's monarchy is her son, Prince Oargev ir'Wynarn, who was ambassador to Breland at the time of the Mourning. By default, he is now the king-in-exile, though the kingdom is no more, and governs the survivors at New Cyre.[3][35][36][37][38] Other, lower-ranked members of the royal family may also survive.[37][note 1]

The monarchs of Cyre traditionally wore the Cyran regalia.[39][40] They reigned from the royal palaces of Vermishard in the capital city of Metrol.[2][41][42][43]

The heraldic symbol of Cyre was a crown and a bell above a hammer and bellows, on a field of green.[1]

Not many Cyran nobles survived the Mourning, and with little wealth, resources, influence, or power left, their status is in question. Those in the remaining embassies work to justify themselves to their hosts. But some of the more prideful don't want to live on charity or memories; instead, they plot to seize land for a New Cyre, and seek a means to do so, however reckless.[44]

Armed Forces[]

During the Last War, the armed forces of Cyre included:

Cyre even fielded warforged-only regiments to help fight[34] and together with Breland and Thrane had the biggest warforged armies of the Five Nations.[46] Among them, they included spellcarved soldiers.[47] However, some warforged felt abused or unvalued—one group defected from Cyre to Thrane, calling themselves the Redeemed.[48]

Although the Cyran military made heavy use of warforged, it found it impractical to have an artificer with every unit to repair them. Thus, they developed the oil of repair to restore them to full working condition.[49]

The Cyran military also made the greatest use of warmages, and the top warmage college was located in Cyre.[34]

Cyre's fleets were stationed in Kraken Bay, its only coastline.[50] Steel krakens, manufactured in the same creation forges as the warforged titans, were deployed in Kraken Bay to defend the southern shore.[51]

Near the end of the war, desperate Cyran commanders even summoned arrow demons to support their forces.[52] They would employ war troll mercenaries against Karrnath.[53]

The Sword of the Southern Front is a lesser military decoration given to Cyran soldiers for participation in a specific battle or campaign.[54]

Dragonmarked Houses[]

House Cannith's ancestral estates were located in Cyre,[14][55][56] with its base of operations in the city of Eston, a mining town,[2][3][7][41] and facilities at Whitehearth and Rose Quarry.[43][57] Workshops, mines, foundries, and forges operated by Cannith were scattered across Cyre.[3][8][34] These were constructed both on and within mountains, in subterranean mazes, and suspended over canyons.[8] Cannith had its own areas of jurisdiction in Cyre and beyond.[58] Their only genesis forge was in Cyre.[59]

House Phiarlan also had its original family enclave and headquarters in Making in Cyre, with its Demesne of Shadow in Cyre's capital, Metrol. Phiarlan's Entertainers and Artisans Guild was credited with fueling much of Cyre's creative energy.[6][7][60][61]

House Vadalis was also active in Cyre. They engaged in questionable practices at Clifftop.[12][39]

Economy[]

When part of the Kingdom of Galifar, Cyre was the richest of the Five Nations.[8]

In Cyre's system of currency, the silver throne is valued at 5 sp. It remains in circulation around Khorvaire even after the Mourning.[62]

History[]

Age of Monsters[]

Like much of southwestern Khorvaire, Cyre holds a number of ruins dating back to the Dhakaani Empire. These were extensively excavated by scholars prior to the Mourning.[63]

Pre-Galifar[]

Circa −2,500, the first settlements that would grow into the Five Nations were made in central Khorvaire.[5][64] The settlement known as Seaside flourished into a small but prosperous nation-state around Kraken Bay and expanded northward, growing into the precursor of Cyre.[65][note 2]

Around this time, the Mark of Making first manifested in the humans of the land that would become Cyre,[5][64] among the artisans and itinerant tinkers. The dragonmarked Clan Cannith emerged here, growing into House Cannith.[55][56][58]

In his campaign to conquer the Five Nations circa −2,000, Karrn the Conqueror drove the defeated goblinoids out of Karrnath into the wild south, but his true purpose was to invade the land that would be Cyre. Surprised, it was quickly taken and added to his empire.[5][66]

The rulers of the precursors of the nations of Cyre, Karrnath, and Thrane attempted a genocide of the changeling race around 1300 years ago. Many escaped into hiding in Breland and Aundair.[67]

Under Galifar[]

At this time, the land was a realm of its own, known as Metrol, and one of the Five Nations.[12][66] Then King Galifar I and his sons and daughters came and united the Five Nations by conquest to form the Kingdom of Galifar in the year 1 YK. In recognition of their services, the sons and daughters of Galifar were each granted control of one of the Five Nations as governor-princes; the youngest son Cyre took Metrol and the southeast.[5][64][66] Cyre and the other nations existed in close alliance under Galifar.[12]

In 32 YK, the Five Nations were renamed for their rulers; Cyre's domain of Metrol became Cyre.[5][66] In 40 YK, Cyre succeeded his father as king of Galifar.[5][64]

In 858 YK, Mishann ir'Wynarn, eldest scion of King Jarot ir'Wynarn, became the governor-prince of Cyre. She succeeded her uncle, Jarot's brother, after learning the skills of the position from him.[1][16]

The Last War[]

After King Jarot's death in 894 YK, Mishann should have, by all rights and traditions, assumed the throne, but she was prevented from doing so by her ambitious siblings. When they met at Thronehold for the funeral and intended coronation, Thalin of Thrane rejected Mishann's claim and the whole concept of primogeniture, as did Kaius of Karrnath and Wroann of Breland. Furthermore, Thalin and Wroann each declared they should rule and marshalled their vassals. Mishann was initially supported by her brother Wrogar of Aundair, but this was not enough to decide the issue, and the scions departed Thronehold. Within the year, this conflict over who should inherit the throne of Galifar ignited the Last War, with Cyre and Aundair facing off against Breland, Karrnath and Thrane, before even these alliances collapsed.[1][2][4][5][7][68][69] That year, Mishann declared Cyre a sovereign nation, as did the other four for their respective realms.[1] Over the sea in Xen'drik, Brelish seized the Galifar consulate in Stormreach and some Cyrans petitioned Mishann to maintain links there. Although uninterested and distracted by the war, she permitted Lord Traven ir'Thavar and some merchants to settle in Stormreach, establishing a trading outpost.[70]

Over the next century, alliances would be made and broken and betrayed by all of the Five Nations,[68] though Aundair usually supported Cyre.[71] But sitting at the heart of Khorvaire, Cyre was surrounded by foes, fighting battles on every front at various times[7] and becoming the main battleground of the Last War. Cyre faced the armies of Breland, Karrnath and Thrane, as well as Lhazaar pirates and Talenta tribes, and later Darguun and Valenar.[1] Battles between Cyre and Karrnath seemed the bloodiest of the War.[72]

The first extended campaign of the Last War was the siege of Eston in 895 YK.[73]

At the outset of the Last War, Cyre was quickly pressed on all sides and seemed at risk of imminent defeat to the alliance of Breland, Karrnath, and Thrane, and therefore sought allies wherever it could.[1][9] Under pressure, around 900 YK, Cyre turned to mercenaries to supplement its armies. However, this strategy ultimately wound up costing Cyre dearly.[9][10] To Cyre and Breland both (but mostly Cyre), House Deneith provided goblinoid mercenaries from the Seawall Mountains, their numbers rising until tens of thousands were stationed along the Cyre–Breland border.[10][11][74] Cyre also hired Deneith's Blademarks Guild directly; one Cyran general was angered when blademarks under his command refused to attack an enemy garrison also guarded by Deneith forces, attacked them, and was routed by their combined forces.[75] In 914 YK, Queen Mishann called for more allies to come to Cyre's aid. The elves of the Valaes Tairn of Aerenal answered. With deft negotiation with war leader Shaeras Vadallia, Cyre hired elf mercenaries and let them within their kingdom, where they made their camps at the southernmost tip. They seemed resolute in their loyalty and desire solely for gold and military glory. Through the War, the elves operated as cavalry and commandos and would fight Brelish and Karrnathi forces, hobgoblin mercenaries, and Talenta halfling warbands.[1][9][76][77][78] Their battles against Karrnath would be the most vicious of the War.[72] Thus bolstered, Cyre stood firm while its enemies turned on each other, and Cyre survived and succeeded more than its size and power would've suggested.[1]

Some nationalists who mourned the collapse of Galifar and declined to fight in the War looked to build a new kingdom outside it. In 928 YK, King Connos of Cyre gave Duke Ven ir'Kesslan permission to settle the land of Q'barra beyond the Endworld Mountains. Thousands of colonists protected by Cyran military sailed off and settled Adderport.[5][79][80]

Cyran forces besieged Korth, capital of Karrnath, in 936 YK.[81]

Meanwhile, House Cannith had focused on developing various constructs that functioned as soldiers, siege engines, and other war machines. Their first creations were barely sentient golems, which were deployed in battle on the Cyran side in the late 930s YK, but they were hard to control in the field. But better versions like the warforged titans were developed over the following two decades.[82]

Then, after half a century of fighting for Cyre, in 956 YK, the elves under Shaeras Vadallia annexed the entire southeastern part of the country for themselves, claiming it had formerly been an elf land on the basis of an ancient trading colony there. They went on to create the nation of Valenar.[1][5][9][12][64][76][77][78] While some claim the queen of Cyre had insulted Vadallia, it was more likely the desire for a greater challenge or mere boredom that drove him.[76][78]

With this loss of land and allies, Cyre seemed doomed, until[1] the modern warforged was perfected by House Cannith in 965 YK[5] and first sent into battle that year.[82]

Then, in 969 YK, a hobgoblin mercenary chieftain named Haruuc united the goblinoids of the southwest and rebelled against Cyre and Breland. They killed hundreds of humans and enslaved others, while the rest escaped into the surrounding lands. This took Cyre and Breland utterly by surprise, and neither could muster forces to retake the land. Haruuc laid siege to Warden Keep until its 2000 defenders starved to death. Thus, Haruuc carved the new goblinoid nation of Darguun from the southwest of Cyre. While Breland made peace, Cyre continued fighting the goblinoids for the rest of the War.[5][10][11][12][64][74][83] Meanwhile, Cyran refugees fled to Stormreach, and Lord Traven's trading outpost grew into the Dannel's Pride ward.[70] But others did not get away—the goblinoids captured and enslaved the hapless Cyrans left behind.[84]

Last War

But Cyre was able to hold its own thanks to its wealth. The warforged reinforced Cyre's armies and helped the kingdom stay strong despite the high cost of war.[1] Cyre went on to have one of the biggest warforged armies of the Five Nations.[15] But Cyre still needed weapons and warriors to give it an advantage and achieve military superiority, so it began pouring money into House Cannith's continued development of a much larger version of the warforged titan, known as a warforged colossus.[82]

Over 971973 YK, Cyran forces once again laid siege to Korth.[81]

However, as Cyre's fortunes ran out late in the War, it struggled to sustain its war efforts and was beset on all sides by warring nations. Cyre was pressed hard, with battlefields across the north and west and the enemy advancing ever closer to Metrol and the largely untouched south. Queen Dannel's leadership kept Cyran spirits and morale high nonetheless.[1]

Then, at the beginning of 994 YK, Cannith unveiled the warforged colossus, the biggest and mightiest warforged yet. The colossi were first deployed in 994 YK, without delay the first was sent north to defend Metrol from the Karrnathi. They left a path of destruction behind them, but laid waste to armies before them. However, the Mourning occurred before they could be used to their full potential.[82]

Near the end of the War, great battles were being fought on Cyran soil that threatened to finally overwhelm Cyre for good, though the people were still ready to defend their homeland with lives.[7] Cyre made a push for Atur in Karrnath, and Karrnath launched a counterattack in the north.[8][39] On 17 Olarune, in the Battle of Arjon Ford, a Thrane company in Cyran territory was ambushed by Karrnathi, who were attacked in turn by Cyran soldiers and warforged. The Karrnathi were defeated, and the slain Thranes buried in a mass grave (but they would rise again as undead mourners).[85][86] At the time, nobles of the Thavar family were negotiating with Vadallia at Taer Valaestas for a treaty between Cyre and Valenar.[31]

The Day of Mourning[]

On 20 Olarune in 994 YK, Karrnathi forces seized Cyran land in the north, preparing to use it as staging ground for an invasion of Breland.[72] That same day, the last major battle of the Last War, though it was not known at the time, was fought in southwestern Cyre. Cyre's Western Army fought the allied forces of Breland (gnomes and humans led by the warforged Bastion, who arrived weeks earlier) and Thrane, together with mercenaries of Darguun (fighting in the area for the last year), Valenar, and Zilargo, with tens of thousands of soldiers in all, in a massive and messy pitched running battle along the Saerun Road in the kingdom's southwest. Yet the Cyrans held their line. It was a decisive battle for the kingdom, but it was to be shockingly curtailed.[2][8][42][43][73][87]

Without warning, the entire nation of Cyre was wiped out in a magical catastrophe known only as the Mourning. The causes of this event are unknown, whether accidental or deliberate, whether an enemy assault or a Cyran project gone awry, and accounts of what actually happened that day vary. But it is known that a cataclysmic blast of magical energy engulfed the whole kingdom with a rolling wall of mist and anything caught within it was killed or transformed, while the very land of Cyre was reshaped into strange new forms behind it. By the end of what was later dubbed the Day of Mourning, Cyre as a nation was gone. All that was left was the Mournland.[1][2][5][6][7][8][12][41][64][87][88][89] The final battle was left eerily preserved in the Field of Ruins, while the great Glowing Chasm opened up in the north and the enormous Glass Plateau rose in the south,[2][42][43][87] and the old kingdom's last borders were marked by the dead-gray mist.[8][87]

Over a million Cyrans were slain, the majority of the population and nearly all those in central Cyre, while hundreds of thousands tried to flee the destruction.[8][12][35][90] Queen Dannel herself was lost and presumed slain.[2][3][7] Some who lived close to the western border managed to flee in time and escaped into neighboring lands ahead of the dead-gray mist, such as farmers and merchants. Other survivors were those outside of Cyre's borders, such as soldiers in other lands and people abroad for business, or those able to flee Cyre quickly through mundane or magical means.[6][35][89][90][91] In Seaside, hundreds crowded the long docks and watched as the wall of mist stopped at the shoreline, a few feet from them; they survived, but those who ventured back in on the first day died.[42]

A small number of Cyran refugees made it to the border with Aundair, but the Aundairians refused them entry and turned them back. Fearful that the Mourning might repeat, and not wanting the social problem, the Aundairian authorities wanted nothing to do with Cyre. This was seen as a serious betrayal after Aundair supported Cyre in the War.[92][93][71] Cruelest of all, the elves of Valenar massacred thousands of refugees who fled from Cyre's southeast, and the goblins of Darguun attacked who escaped into their lands, both alleging them to be "invaders".[1][7]

The dragonmarked houses were also impacted. House Cannith lost its ancestral estates and its patriarch, leaving it disorganized and divided.[7][41][55][56] By a stroke of fortune, while House Phiarlan lost its headquarters in Cyre, all the house leaders were out of the country on the Day of Mourning, prompting rumors they had foreknowledge of the catastrophe.[6][7][60]

The Mourning After[]

That was the judgment of the Silver Flame, I tell you. The corrupt and faithless Cyrans got what they deserved.
— Thrane merchant Erebeth Zaharno on the Mourning[94]

On hearing of the Mourning, those Cyran forces surviving in Brelish and Karrnathi territory quickly surrendered.[88] Elsewhere, the Cyran refugees suffered troubles. Brigands preyed on them, like the ogre known only as the Bandit Lord who took a group captive until they were rescued by Kuduth and Corrash.[95] Thrane flat-out refused to grant Cyran refugees a new home.[96]

But, in the aftermath, taking pity on the survivors, King Boranel of Breland welcomed them and let them form refugee camps within his kingdom's borders.[35][90][97][98] However, many of the camps were disorganized and filthy, spreading disease and furthering suffering. But the refugees kept gathering and the camps kept growing. Realizing they were inadequate,[97] Boranel gave permission for Prince Oargev, Cyre's last prince and ambassador to Breland, to establish a town and granted them the land and the authority to govern themselves.[97][99] The thankful Cyrans renamed the Brelish Camp to New Cyre.[1][97]

The Last War officially concluded with the Treaty of Thronehold in 996 YK, as the threat of the Mourning forced the nations of Khorvaire to agree to peace. Despite this, Cyran representatives were forbidden—Aundair's Queen Aurala declared "Cyre no longer exists. The refugees have no voice in these proceedings." and Valenar's High King Vadallia agreed—so they had no participation.[1][7][2] This left them with no official status among the nations of Khorvaire, except in New Cyre.[16]

With more and more of the survivors coming every day, even in 998 YK, the Brelish Parliament introduced legislation to put a cap on the population of New Cyre, as they did not want potentially 20,000 Cyran refugees inside their borders.[91]

Recently, Darguul goblinoids have brazenly crossed the Darguun–Breland border and launched raids targeting Cyran refugees in Breland. They've been opposed by Cyran avengers like Mirasandra ir'Thavar.[100]

At its height, Cyre was a prosperous land with fertile farmlands and flourishing cities.[2] By 992 YK, the land of Cyre covered some 1,020,000 square miles (2,640,000 square kilometers). It had a temperate climate.[1] Apart from Eston, all the major cities and towns stood beside bodies of water.[42]

In the southwest of central Cyre were once rolling plains. This area is now just the Field of Ruins. Through here runs the Saerun Road, or what's left of it.[43] In the southeast near Kraken Bay are lush hills.[43]

The hills around Eston held rich mines that produced iron and adamantine used in the manufacture of warforged.[42][43]

The land that is now Darguun was once Cyre's southwestern borderlands,[10][12][83] specifically Darguun's northern plains.[10][11] The goblinoids dwelling in the lowlands have occupied and rebuilt former Cyran towns;[74][101] the capital, Rhukaan Draal, is based around the ruins of a Cyran frontier market town.[101][102] However, others remain razed and abandoned.[74][83]

The land that is now Valenar, meanwhile, was once Cyre's southeast,[9][12][103] though it was not a significant presence here.[104] It was a sparsely populated land of intermittent human villages, wandering halfling tribes, and hidden hobgoblin clans. Former Cyran cities remain here.[9][76]

The Cyre River marked the northern border with Karrnath. The Last War saw fighting up and down and on both sides of the Cyre River and in trenches across the north.[105]

The Talenta Plains were held to be part of Cyre when the kingdom of Galifar still stood. During the War, Cyre claimed parts of the Talenta Plains, though the halfling tribes held back invaders and avoided them entirely when the Five Nations fought there.[106][107]

The highest mountain in Cyre was Kenn Peak, with a height of 7,576 feet (2,309 meters).[1]

Cyran Diaspora[]

Kind of moot, isn't it? I heard the Cyrans who survived are all Brelish now. I don't know whether it was their own fault or someone else's, and to be honest, I don't care. We survived the war, they didn't, and that's what's important.
— Aundairian farmer Arwyn Clearwater on Cyrans[108]

It's estimated that only around 20,000 Cyrans survived the Day of Mourning.[91] They are a dispossessed people, exiles of a nation that no longer exists. They can be found living across Khorvaire, mainly among their former enemies in Aundair, eastern Breland, Karrnath, and Thrane, as well as in Q'barra, the Mror Holds, and Zilargo (namely Dragonroost and Zolanberg), either in small communities of their own people or among others.[1][6][13][38][7] Some have traveled as far as Stormreach in Xen'drik, settling in the Dannel's Pride ward in the Cross district as previous generations did.[70]

But these nations aren't always welcoming. As much sympathy as the Aundairians profess, they don't want many, or even any, Cyrans to actually settle among them.[92] Aundair privately supports the creation of a new Cyran state, just nowhere near Aundair.[93][71] Queen Aurala ignores both representatives of Cyran refugees and the Cyran ambassador, who waits with her family in Passage's Cannith enclave while trying to find a surviving Cyran noble who can reauthorize her diplomatic mission.[93] A number of other countries have even expelled their Cyran ambassadors, seeing them as pointless with no nation to represent.[44] Similarly to Aundair, Karrnath ostensibly supports a reverse of the Cyran diaspora, with resettlement in Q'barra or elsewhere, but King Kaius III would prefer a new Karrnath-friendly homeland carved out of Breland as a way to weaken the Brelish.[109]

Thus, Aundairians, Karrns, and Thranes have little sympathy or liking toward the Cyrans.[31] Cyran refugees may be feared, suspected, or shunned for the belief that they carry the curse of the Mourning with them[2][110] or simply in lingering animosity over the War. Where they do settle, they are impoverish and unemployed. Cyran nobles in particular desperately try to reclaim all that they've lost.[111]

King Boranel has extended the hand of friendship to these poor souls, so who am I to disagree with the king. Still, you have to wonder what they're doing out there. They even named their settlement New Cyre. Is that sad or what? And a little disturbing, if you ask me. This is Breland, after all, not Cyre reborn.
— Brelish wheelwright Bartis Lonn on Cyrans[112]

However, Breland willingly received a great many Cyran refugees, with an official policy to give them welcome, food, and shelter, and even grant them land to settle. In Breland, the Cyrans have founded the town of New Cyre, while others formed or expanded communities in Ardev, Wroat, Shavalant, and especially Sharn,[1][113] in ghettoes.[111][114] In the City of Towers, the existing Cyran population in Smoky Towers in Middle Menthis swelled, and folk like Doras now speak strongly of rebuilding,[115][116] and the High Walls district in Lower Tavick's Landing was converted to house Cyran refugees and other displaced people, but an increasing number turn to the Dragon Below or radiant idols.[23] But while most Brelish are tolerant and feel obligated to provide aid, a few factions maintain the antagonism of the War, have no liking or pity for the refugees, see the Mourning as punishment, or even want to complete the genocide.[113][114] In the Brelish countryside, agitators and extremists occasionally attack the peaceful Cyrans.[114] Either way, many see the Cyrans as an unwanted burden and second-class citizens.[31] The Cyran embassy in Sharn's Ambassador Towers was established before the War, has been permitted to remain open, and now represents New Cyre. Led by Lord Jairan ir'Dain, the embassy staff mostly manage Cyran refugees in Lower Tavick's Landing, recording their names and skills and finding them jobs, and recruiting Cyran adventurers to carry out special tasks for New Cyre (often recovering things from the Mournland, investigating the Mourning, or else helping those who can help Cyrans). Spymaster Tyrala is prominent in this. The embassy also raises funds for the Cyran restoration, largely by pressuring and shaming fellow Cyrans into donating 20% of their income. While the embassy has discretionary funds in the Kundarak Bank of Sharn, it can't pay much more than patriotism.[44]

In Breland, New Cyre serves as a gathering place and beacon to all the dispossessed Cyrans. Prince Oargev, son of Queen Dannel, rules New Cyre, home to the largest concentration of Cyran refugees.[35][91] New Cyre is a beacon to all the dispossessed Cyrans[91] and joyous reunions of separated families are said to happen there every day.[14]

Cyran refugees also live in Q'barra, with large influxes into Hope and New Galifar, in the greatest number outside Breland. However, their arrival has triggered tensions with the various groups of settlers. Nevertheless, these folk have refused Prince Oargev's call to New Cyre and instead chosen to commit to new lives in Q'barra. They've begun to assimilate into existing communities as well as found a few new ones.[79][38][80]

Cyrans still dwell in Valenar, once a part of Cyre before the elves annexed it, and now giving them fealty. These farmers produce food for their elf rulers, and receive protection in return. Life seems little changed for them, even being easier and freer, with lighter taxes.[9][77][38][76]

Of those Cyrans caught by the goblinoids in Darguun, they, and their descendants, form the bulk of the slaves toiling there and exported to Stormreach and beyond. Many of the bloodbound gladiators of the Red Ring in Stormreach are Cyran slaves from Darguun.[84]

Meanwhile, those who can't, or won't, settle continue wandering, living itinerant or adventuring lives.[2]

Pronunciation[]

According to Keith Baker, here, there is no one correct pronunciation of "Cyre". In 2019, he stated that "SEER", "SIGH-ur", "SEER-ee", and "KEER-ee" are all valid pronunciations, as is any other pronunciation the players use at the table. There is a great deal of regional variation in Khorvaire, and just about any possible pronunciation is used by someone somewhere on the continent.

Keith has also stated that pronunciation differs in the "three Cyres": the Mournland, the former Cyran territory now part of Valenar, and the former Cyran territory in what is now Darguun. The word is thus used as a shibboleth, a word whose pronunciation reveals an individual's ethnic or regional identity. However, the exact pronunciation for each region is not canonically defined.

Keith says that he personally uses the pronunciation of "SEER-ee", having picked up this pronunciation from Bill Slavicsek in 2009 or earlier. However, this causes a problem with Keith's iPhone, which interprets the word as invoking the app Siri. In 2017, he suggested that perhaps the people at the heart of Cyre pronounced it "SEER-ee", those in the south said "SEER", and people of other nations tended to use "SIRE". Yet another pronunciation is "KY-ree".

According to a chat with Keith Baker in 2010, the natives of Cyre pronounced it "kai-ree".

Notes[]

  1. Eberron Player's Guide page 23 says "Much of Cyre's ruling family was destroyed" and "The most powerful remaining member", both implying the survival of other members of the royal family.
  2. Five Nations page 8 says the pre-Galifar name of Cyre was "Metrol", implying the nation began at the capital Metrol. It's possible there were two kingdoms, either concurrently or one after the other, or that it was renamed from Seaside to Metrol with a relocation of the capital.
