Tysíans

Tysíans¹ are a Mörkel tribe inhabiting Aralrar on the central Plain of Kings, southeast of Fekai Lake. They are related to the Útlúks in central Outer-Dagtí, and are the only major ethnic group in the kingdom, though small communities of Tysían descendants exist in Tlókon as well.

Warfare

Tysían warriors are identified by their tall, conical helmets with a plume of green feathers or dyed hyrning-wool at the top, along with orange cloaks with blue edges, and red and white loincloths. Their favoured weapon is the axe, associated with the war goddess Datena, usually wielded along with a shield.

Culture

Common Dress code

Tall, conical hats made of thick hyrning wool or leather are popular among Tysíans, often adorned with colourful ribbons or -for the wealthy- gold and a strip of fine cloth around the base. Similar headgear is worn by neighbouring tribes to the east, such as Núrels, Sehonites and Tlókonans.

Common Myths and Legends

The patron deity of the Tysíans is Datena Öþekí, an aspect of the war goddess Datena, to whom they trace their lineage. Her image in the main temple in Ónesrak depicts her holding a triple axe fashioned from gold and silver.
