New Cyre

What began as a refugee camp has evolved into a struggling town hosting thousands of Cyran refugees. Prince Oargev holds court in New Cyre, considering himself a king in exile. Though resources are scarce, New Cyre remains a symbol of hope for many refugees. It's also a last stop for those determined to explore the Mournland.

On the Day of Mourning, 20 Olarune in 994 YK, the nation of Cyre was destroyed in the Mourning. While the majority of the Cyran people were killed, some who lived close to the western border managed to flee in time and escaped into Breland ahead of the dead-gray mist.

In the aftermath, taking pity upon the survivors, King Boranel of Breland welcomed them and let them form refugee camps within his kingdom's borders. 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, 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.

The thankful Cyrans renamed the Brelish Camp as New Cyre, and it quickly grew from a camp to a village to a town of over 4000 people. The dragonmarked houses sent representatives to Oargev's court, and he used their aid to built New Cyre into a flourishing town.

“These Brelish laws are fit for the Brelish, but they have no authority over the sons and daughters of Cyre. — Prince Oargev, private remarks to close aides on the Brelish legislation"

However, with more and more of the survivors coming every day, 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. Oargev opposed the bill, and the matter remains held up in debate and awaits a final vote. Even if the bill becomes law, Oargev has no intention to abide by it.
