Tiranoc
Tiranoc is one of the ten realms of Ulthuan and is one of the Outer Kingdoms. Its capital is Tor Anroc.
It is located on the western side of the continent, bordered on the north by Nagarythe, on the south by Caledor, on the east by the Annulii Mountains and on the west by the Great Ocean. Tiranoc was a land of vast, sweeping plains, bearing a strong resemblence to the neighbouring Inner Kingdom of Ellyrion and the people of the kingdom have recreated what that can. [2a]

History
During the High Elves' Age of Discovery it rose to pre-eminence amongst the Elf realms and it was from Tiranoc that the majority of the elf colonists who would settle the Old World originated from. The kingdom suffered terribly during The Sundering and most of its land was sank due of the magical backlash. It never recovered its ancient power.[1a]
Some colonists returned to rebuild their shattered land, creating cities in the west and restoring grassy plains along the coast for the chariots to race again. [2a]
The north of the kingdom is often subject to raids from the Dark Elves, with near constant war being fought against the invaders - many Druchii armies have been destroyed in Tiranoc. [2a]

Military
The nobles of Tiranoc are famous for their love of chariot-racing, and have honed charioteering to a fine art and Silver Helms are rare as the nobility prefer to ride to war in their chariots. Indeed it is seen as a sign of relative poverty for a high born to ride to war on a horse rather than in their chariot. When the armies of Ulthuan are assembled Tiranoc sends these chariot-teams as its contribution. [1a]
Many warriors from the Kingdom have served on the Eagle Gate and bear its symbol on their shield. [1a]
