Nouvelle Cyre

Nouvelle Cyre is a town in eastern Brelande and the new home of the refugees of the ruined nation of Cyre. The town began as a refugee camp and is now quite large.

Prince oargev_ir_wynarn, Queen Dannel's oldest surviving heir, acts as nominal leader and representative of the town. Large Town, Population 4,200 Building a community out of the wreckage of Cyre, Nouvelle Cyre continues to attract survivors of the Day of Mourning and new residents of other lands seeking a home after the war. An empty stretch of grasslands below the northern Montagnes de la Digue when King Boranel granted the area to Oargev and the Cyran survivors, the town is becoming the economic heart of the region. All the Maisons Marquées Du Dragon have gone out of their way to send representatives to Oargev’s court, and with their help he has established the town as a seat of civilization and a fair reminder of the grace and style that was once the birthright of all Cyrans.

arms dealer. Zeed’s ambitions to start a war, with the goal of eventually securing southern Thrane for the Aurum, are an audacious attempt to elevate himself to the platinum concord, and do not have the full support of the Cabinet Fantôme, which generally prefers more cautious advances. Zeed’s activities have also attracted the attention of the King’s Citadel, which is currently considering sending in new agents or even a few trusted outsiders who would be unknown to Zeed and his minions.

à New Cyre (Large Town, 4,200): What started as a refugee village in the wake of the destruction of Cyre has rapidly grown into a large town with over four thousand inhabitants. While the disaster that destroyed the nation to Breland’s east wiped out much of the Cyran population, those living near the western border had enough time to cross over into the Brelon countryside ahead of the strange wall of dead-gray mist that eventually stopped just a few miles to the east of Vathirond and Kennrun. King Boranel took pity on the refugees and established the camps that evolved into a village and then a town.

Today, New Cyre sits on a trade road southeast of Starilaskur, in the middle of Breland’s eastern farm country. The prince of the city, Oargev ir’Wynarn, is the last son of Cyre’s ruling family. He was serving as an ambassador to Breland when the mysterious disaster befell his nation and has since become the unofficial leader of the Cyran refugees scattered throughout the other domains. He hopes to one day gather all of Cyre’s homeless children to this refuge in Breland. His other desire revolves around discovering the truth behind the destruction of his kin and country, and exacting revenge on the guilty parties. Until then, he graciously accepts the hospitality of Breland (even if the Brelon have given him unwanted land in the middle of nowhere) and works to rebuild the confi dence and honor of his subjects. He serves as mayor of New Cyre while also playing the role of a king in exile.

The people of New Cyre work as farmers while their prince plots and plans the future glory of the Cyran crown. Prince Oargev regularly seeks out news and information from those foolish or brave enough to venture into the Mournland. He has been known to fund expeditions into the blasted, wasted remains of his once-proud nation, hoping to discover some hint or clue that points to the cause of Cyre’s demise. In the meantime, Oargev works to improve the plight of his people and dreams of rebuilding Cyre—either in a restored Mournland or someplace else entirely.
