The Highlands of Tyra-Hym

Just south of Ruglewud is the Mountain Kingdom of Tyra-Hym. An expanse of Dwarven cities built into the Mountainside with scattered quaint forest settlements along Its outskirts. The most Prominent race here are the proud and industrious Dwarves, but many humans find the massive stone walls to be a reassuring barrier against the outside world and settle down with their families. Sometimes referred to as the Lesserwud it was once one nation under the Ruglewud name. The people of Tyra-Hym are hardworking and headstrong. The lands are penchant for rockslides, and the difficulty in growing crops has instilled a powerful adherence to tradition and “the way things are done around here” in the Tyra-Hym people. It’s denizens have lived in close approximation with the Fae for quite some time and recently this has led to some conflict over resources and living space. Tyra-Hym’s adherence to a more ‘might is right’ philosophy makes them quicker to respond with a show of force but rarely leading to actual battle. Their philosophies have led to a more ‘assimilatory’ standpoint on Fae affairs.

The historical division of Ruglewud and Tyra-Hym was precipitated by their philosophies governing fae affairs. Where Ruglewud was intent on keeping some places wild and as homes for the fae, Tyra-Hym thought this would  continue to foment animosity and conflict. Instead the government of Tyra-Hym proposed a plan for integration of the Fae into society. The resulting split was peacefully mandated by diplomats from both nations. Having a long tradition of cooperation and integrated societies neither side was keen on war but thought their differences were simply too great to reconcile a shared government.
