<div class="floatleft">(http://mygirlfriendisadm.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/cyre.jpg)</div><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 36pt;">C</span><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">YRE</span></strong>Just four years ago, an entire nation disappeared.  In an instant of cataclysm, the Jewel of Galifar was erased, its art and wonders destroyed, and its few remaining people made orphans and vagabonds, refugees fleeing from the deathly pallor that even today grips the landscape.<br/><br/>Today, New Cyre is home to over four thousand refugees, given a spot of land by the crown of Breland, and is ruled by Oargev ir'Wynarn, last son of Cyre's royal family, and ambassador to Breland.  As mayor of the town, he is responsible for his community, but as Prince of Cyre, he is also driven to reclaim and rebuild what he can of their former nation.  Funding expeditions east into the Mournland is one way.  The other is funneling adventurers and capable expatriates to Sharn, to find the contacts and quests to protect their place in Breland and recover the glory of Cyre.<br/><br/>It is from here that a ranger heads out to the big city, the tallest certainly, to find his fortune, and perhaps that of his homeland as well.
