Kingdom of Vyss

Ta-Jyr

The town of Ta-Jyr was the first city to be created by the Moon Elves and established a foothold on Imarel for their people. When the War of Eternals started Ta-Jyr was leveled by an onslaught of Shar`Vaire airships. The bombardment was so intense, that nothing of the original city remained, save for a blackened crater that properly illustrated the potency of the Imperial fleet. No prisoners or slaves were taken, no building was left standing, nor tree to suffer existence without being blasted from its roots.

It would be many centuries after the war, when the Shadow Elves returned to the surface before anything would stand on the ground of Ta-Jyr once more. The reconstruction followed the flavor of Shadow Elvish architecture, with inter-connecting burrows dug around the crater left by the attack. Within the crater, they planted a sacred Hirsalas Tree. The Hirsalas grew unnaturally fast, thanks to the blessing of Zorah and the dedication of her druids to create a fount of life where nothing but death has existed before. The branches cover the entirety of the city and its roots touch every Shadow Elf burrow. To say this tree is protected with vigorous zealotry is an understatement. No race, aside of Humans has even set eyes on the sacred Hirsalas Tree of Ta-Jyr.
