Tyr: (based on the culture of Tyre, use to be Waterdeep)

  • King Kalak, the Tyrant of Tyr has allocated an inordinate number of slaves towards working to build his ziggurat, including those owned by the nobility
  • Even the iron mines, upon which Tyr’s economy is based have been shut down to allocate more resources to the ziggurat
  • Nobody knows what the ziggurat is for
  • Kalak’s Templars as well as his personal guard are all armed with iron swords
  • As in most of the city states, while Tyr’s Elven Market is always in the same area, the vendors are always changing from one day to the next.
  • Because most of the slave laborers have been working on the ziggurat, the remaining gladiatorial slaves have been putting on more and more impressive fights, rather than the barbarically uneven matches that were normally seen before. This in turn is increasing the draw that the games have to the point where seat prices have risen dramatically.
  • People are starting to whisper that King Kalak has gone mad.
  • Tyr is located in a valley along the edge of the Ringing Mountains
  • Taxes have also risen dramatically since Kalak began the construction of his ziggurat.

Rumor: Tyr was built atop the ruined foundations of an ancient city. Though many of the passages and byways are blocked off either by more recent construction, or shifting dunes, there are still many hidden access points to various locations under the city. This area is known as UnderTyr.
