Cyre

Destroyed at the end of the Last War, Cyre now only exists in the hearts of the refugees scattered across Khorvaire. Before the war, Cyre was the seat of the kings and queens of Galifar. The wealth of the kingdom flowed through Cyre, and it was a nexus for commerce and culture. By tradition, Cyre’s Princess Mishann had the rightful claim to the throne of Galifar. 
While Cyrans take pride that they alone were in the right in the Last War, they unquestionably lost more to the war than any other nation. As a Cyran, you stand on the moral high ground, but that may offer little comfort. Cyrans like to say that their culture represents the best that Galifar had to offer… which is to say, a little bit of everything. Cyrans value diversity and versatility, both in talents and thought. Cyre couldn’t match Karrnath in martial discipline or Aundair in the arcane arts, but as a nation it was characterized by the flexibility of its forces.
While the Sovereign Host was the dominant faith of Cyre, the Silver Flame had a significant following. Many survivors have questioned their faith in the wake of the Mourning, but some believe that this is a divine trial and a time when faith is needed more than ever.
Queen Dannel ir’Wynarn was in Metrol on the Day of Mourning and is presumed to be dead. Her son Prince Oargev ir’Wynarn holds court in New Espera, the capital of the Duchy of New Cyre that was recently set up in Breland.
Interesting Things About Cyre:

• Cyre was the ancestral seat of the dragonmarked House Cannith, the house of Making. The house maintained arcane workshops across Cyre. Who knows what treasures wait in Cannith vaults for those who brave the dangers of the Mournland?
• Stories say communities of warforged live in the Mournland, including the insurgent called the Lord of Blades.
• While not as flamboyant as Aundair, Cyran fashions involved bright colors and glamerweave. Some have made a point of continuing this custom. Others wear clothing cut in the Cyran style, but entirely in black; this is generally known as “Mourning wear.”
