Tyalu

Tyalu is a town located in the southwestern Dominion of Ashura, and formerly of the Aurlûnor Velande (specifically in Erúme Province). It is located at the terminus of the Nandan River along the Bay of Ashura. Tyalu serves as a port city, and mainly conducts international trade with the Huitca Federation, The Kingdom of Alda, Galínios, and others.

The land itself was occupied by various Dune Elven tribes, namely the Belet and Nabut. After the fall of the Second Ashuran Dominion, the land was occupied briefly by Viridian until coming under the nominal control of the Aurlûnor Velande. The area of Tyalu proper remained relatively inactive until it was settled by the squatters of New Betaburg, who were defeated in the Fifth Barbarian Rally.

After the squatters were evicted, old New Betaburg remained mostly abandoned ruins until Oshotty revived the area, inviting settlers to the new town of Tyalu. The town thrived under Aurlûnoren rule, but many of its denizens wished for Ashuran independence. This was granted on April 4th, 2022, and the town has remained one of Ashura's largest since.
