Cyre

Humans, half-elves, and halflings are common survivors of the Mourning, along with the occasional shifter or changeling. Most people of Cyre followed the Sovereign Host, which is true of most survivors, but some have turned away from the religion, or else devoted themselves to darker faiths in their search for vengeance or succor. Cyran fashion tended toward bright colors—similar to Aundairian fashion but without the flamboyance of Aundair's hats and ruffles. Cyran style also favored large amounts of jewelry, in quantities that others sometimes found gaudy. Although some Cyran survivors try to blend in to their new homes, others cling defiantly to the fashions of the dead nation.
Cyre was twice the victim of the Last War. King Jarot's daughter Mishann should have, by all rights and traditions, assumed the throne, but she was prevented from doing so by her ambitious siblings. For a hundred years, Cyrans viewed the Last War as a personal affront, a war against them as a nation. Losing both Cyre and Queen Dannel to the Mourning was a doubly heavy blow, and survivors still harbor grudges against all the other Five Nations. During its heyday, Cyre was a land of plenty, with lush farmlands, thriving cities, traditions of art, and elegant styles. As the primary battleground of much of the Last War, however, it was dying by inches even before the Day of Mourning. Its outlying settlements were all but razed, and its cities were filled with the hopeless, the homeless, and the destitute.

Geography

Cyre is a land of lush farmscapes and expansive flat lush plains. Before the Day of Mourning Cyre had very few hostile beasts roaming the lands. The most a citizen may need to worry about was a roaming pack of wild boars. The south end of Cyre was home to amazing sea fishing, fantastic ocean trade routes and Lush crops thriving on the ocean breeze that rolled in from the sea all along its southern border. The full northern end of Cyre is surrounded by lakes and rivers also keeping its lands very lush and farm-able. Trade was easy and rapid quickly making Cyre the capital province of Korvair.
