Zenith Age The World of Tyleth

Created by

Born of a world not so different than our own, Tyleth is something of a mystery, while most of the fauna of the old world was hunted or pushed to the brink of extinction, the flora has thrived under the foot of its new residents. While the echos of Tyleth's past is drowned out in the calls of its future, other problems have risen to give the new beasts of the lands a run for their money. Between Time Ripples, people, wars, taming, fighting, and enslavement, the long-dead beasts of our past have not had an easy time trying to hold their claim as ruler of these lands.   While people broke apart and fell back away, others ripped through those who had sheltered them, and some would find hard labor and gaping jaws the only thing for them and their short lives. The lands are just as wild and just as untamed before man step foot onto Tyleth maybe even more so since. Though even with all the bad there is good, people who still do the right thing and help not only others but the beasts that they share the world with.   Welcome to Tyleth, do you have what it takes to tame the largest beasts in history? Or will your flesh line the bones of those who have fallen before you?

Tyleth

Listen little one, the winds speak when you are silent.
They tell you of the beasts that come.
They tell you of the people who tread.
Fear the storms.
Fear the crackle.
Fear the ancient's words.
Hold tight, little one, the winds do howl.
Hold tight, little one, hold tight.
For I am no longer here.
Be brave, little one, be brave.
For I am not longer here.
Run, little one, run!
— Lullaby of the Rownaks
Is a near earth-sized celestial body that revolves around a large yellow sun and has three moons. Most of the original fauna and flora has been eaten and replaced with beasts from a bygone era from Allosaurus to Quetzalcoatlus to even Dire Wolves and Dire Bears. Though, if the wildlife doesn't eat you, the natives might.   Between the raiders and nomadic tribes, it is hard-pressed to find a quiet place to make a life. Each living thing plays that vital part in the circle of life here on Tyleth. From the smallest herbivore to the largest predator, everything and everyone has their place.   Though there are other strange happenings going on. Time Ripples, once you are slung through from our world there is no going back. Whether or not you like it, you are here to stay or till you get eaten by the natives.

 
I understand that a lot of Dinosaurs have feathers. But a lot of the Dinosaurs in this setting will not have feathers. Forewarning you just encase you had your hopes up for a flock of feathered dinosaurs. Also, a lot of the dinosaurs may be a bit of fantasy, such as larger Pterosaurs for rider allowance. Because let's face it, people riding through the air on the back of a Pterosaur, isn't that just magic?


 
Author note again. So a lot of these pages are blank at the moment or missing things. Anything in {} is generally a place holder. Anything with an * either is blank or has not finished written information.
 

Quick Start Guide

What is a Freshie?

Freshies is the term the Wave 38ers use to describe people who came through a Time Ripple and were not born on Tyleth. A Freshie can come from any year up to 1999. The closer to 1999 the rarer they are. It is more likely to find someone who knew Wyatt Earp than who knows what a cell phone is.

Are these the only tribes?

There are plenty of nomadic people just trying to live in a world of Dinosaurs.

What are the languages

Everyone speaks/understands a common language. It is a process that happened when either you passed through a Time Ripple or from growing up on Tyleth.

What is the technology level?

The technology level is very low, steam-powered at its highest for most of the common world. The Wave38ers are the only advanced tribe and even that is limited.
