History
The birthplace of the Kingdom of Tryce Swallowshire is the birthplace of the Trynnien Empire as known today. Here High Lord Exurak heard the call of the light leading him to unify the kingdoms under one banner. In the town halls the first copy of the Light's Decrees was penned. Now a just larger town on the Holy Path Swallowshire is home to shepherds and tradesmen looking to make a living in the former mecca of human civilization.
Points of interest
- The Town Halls of Tryce - The location where the Light's Decrees were first penned starting the revolution that lead to the unification of the people and the birth of the Holy Trynnien Empire.
- The Hill of Light - The hilltop where King Exurak first heard the call of the light, a pilgrimage site for the most devout servants of light.
Architecture
Though the town is one of the oldest settlements in the empire the structures hold the test of time. Built in a traditional manner the construction is of mud and brick painted various shade of color, while roofing is made of tile and slate. The main square of town is cobbled stone, and the roads around dirt.
Geography
The town sits in the foothills south of the Prismatic Woodland giving fantastical views and dawn and dusk of the looming forests and rolling hillsides. Wildflowers bloom almost year-round except during the coldest of winters, painting the hillsides brilliant shades of red, pink, orange and blues.
Natural Resources
The folks here produce wool from sheep's, harvest golden grains, and pull lumber from the Prismatic Woodland.
