Personal history
tyr had led his army in conquest of Jester Island, when a young girl named Carinthe appeared upon the volcanic tundra before him. Believing Carinthe to have come from another world, he took her back to his homeland and to the capital in Hesterville. He watched Carinthe grow into a beautiful woman as the people of Gryneria came to regard her as a Goddess. He married Carinthe and proclaimed her Queen of Gryneria.
However, the appearance of Katherine, Carinthe's younger sister, upset the balance. Styr was seduced by Katherine who took him to her bed chamber. Their brief affair was discovered by Carinthe, but not before both she and Katherine had fallen pregnant. Carinthe forgave Styr, but banished Katherine for her treachery. In the years that followed, Styr regained the Queen's trust and was eventually charged with leading the Grynerian Armies in defence against Katherine's bid for revenge. Styr commanded with experience on the battle fields, but when his army looked close to defeat he opted for a different tack. He sent word to his son Marcus, who had made a name for himself fighting for Katherine's army, and offered him a solution for peace. In the hope of convincing Marcus to end the war, he used his daughter Selene as a distraction. However, Styr was not remotely prepared for the consequences when Marcus and Selene fell in love.
Styr was credited with bringing peace to Gryneria by forging the union of his son and daughter. He went on to watch them build Gryneria into a great nation before his death in 942BC.
