Thrull covers most of western Grarjord, which is
mostly tundra, mountains, and islands. With little
farmland, its inhabitants have turned to raiding and
pillaging to sustain themselves.
These raids originate primarily from the Thrull capital
of Tyburn, a coastal town for longships that prowl
the coastline. Tyburn is largely composed of wooden
longhouses and huts, some with thatched roofs. Where
wood is scarce, many families have to make do with turf
and sod roofs, and animals often climb atop homes to
feed on stray grass.
Tyburn’s economy runs on captured laborers. Prisoners are
brought via longships to the city, where most are
sold to work in fields or in rich households. The more
able-bodied are put to work in mines or operating the
bellows of a forge.
Tyburn itself is controlled by the largest tribe: Clan
Volgr. A tribe of devoted warriors, the Volgr are the
muscle of the Prismatic Circle and responsible for
raiding. The other clans maintain a presence in the city
as well. Clan Syr is most adept at forging and supplying
weapons to the Thrull army, while the powerful magics
of Clan Rune keep their enemies at bay.
