Tiorath isles

Summary

Location

Near the western hemisphere, not far north of Tor'Saarns equator, with the lowest island just south of the equator.

Rough size

A series of small islands, beginning at a small cluster of three mountainous islands, forming a long finger of four islands.

Geography

The South most islands are dominated by mountains, with the lower islands fading to plateaus and then warm plains. The mountains that are situated closest to the equator are covered in tropical jungles, rivers run from the high points of the plateaued middle islands running over the edge in great waterfalls onto the low planes. The last Island, Tiorath major, consists of warm plains and small woodlands.

Boundaries

The isles act as their own nation, calling itself the Tiorath Hierarchy. The Hierarchy once dominated much of the western world, but is now restricted only to a small empire.

History

Creation

The Tiorath Isles were the last of the Realms to be created, forged by Sar'aan to house the small population of now mortal Astrals, who sire the first humans. The isles of Tiorath take their name from the Tiorath family, the ruling family of the isles. The Tiorath dynasty traces it's origins back millennia to the origins of the isle, it's ancestors among the first of the Astrals to inhabit the island.

Early history

Tiorath history begins with the decree of the new calendar, decreed by Teren Tiorath to mark the beginning of Tiorath's conquests of the far-off lands that make up the Realms. Much like the Tiorathy language (the precursor to trade-speak) the Tiorath grand calender would spread to the majority of the world due to the forming empires conquest. This age of expansion lasted from 01/01/01 until 76/04/478/01, leading to the age of the Tiorath ascendancy. This period of Tiorath dominance, in which almost three quarters of the known land belonged to the Heirarchy, lasted until 44/03/1023/01, bringing an end to the first age.

Later history

The second age began at 44/03/00/02 with the incursion of the Titan minds on the Tiorath isles and the sundering of Tiorath, beginning the empires slow decline.
