To understand '''Ssyra''', one must know a bit about the history of the [[ssylsin]] race. Long ago, a splinter | |||
group of Caananites settled in the western jungles. An earthquake tore a chunk of the western | |||
mountain jungle asunder, separating this people from the mainland. The newly formed island was moved | |||
far out to sea. In time, the Breaking of the Moon caused the people to evolve into the first | |||
ssylsin. Upon this jungle island, the ssylsin thrived and became strong. Their explorations | |||
eventually led them to interactions with the ocean dwelling [[lamiran]]s,who assisted the serpentine | |||
people in reaching the mainland of [[Aetherius]]. Seeking a home much like that of their island, the | |||
ssylsin settled in the [[Dun Valley]]. They came into contact with the [[kohdon]] there, and a hatred began | |||
to grow between these two races as they fought against one another for dominion of the lush valley. | |||
Ssylsin are a hardy people who have survived for many years in Aetherius. The people of Ssyra have a | |||
tribal society which is deeply religious. Most all of the Gods are accepted there with the exception | |||
of Lord Zanik, Whom many feel is at odds with our rustic way of life. Many in the towne embrace the | |||
philosophy of Death. Ssylsin death dancers in particular follow the teachings of Death in their day- | |||
to-day lives. | |||
A great spirit resides within the area, going by the name of Synnessyra. This being tends to take | |||
either the form of an enormous python or a large, ssylsin man. The towne itself was named after him | |||
in honour of the blessing he bestowed upon the towne in times past. It is said that Synessyra | |||
watches over the Ssyran tribe to this day. For this, the ssylsin people of the towne hold a solemn | |||
respect for this powerful spirit in the [[Nogba Wetlands]]. | |||
It is of note that at one time the people of Ssyra did not even welcome other ssylsin to their | |||
towne. Things have changed, with the exception of the ancient grudge which the ssylsin denizens of | |||
the swamp still hold against the kohdon people. Visiting kohdon should not expect to find a warm | |||
welcome from the townesfolk. | |||
People of other races will most likely find a rather indifferent welcome in Ssyra. The towne has | |||
begun to become more open in recent times, and relations appear to be improving. | |||
