Recent History[]
Tyrosh invaded Myr under the direction of Archon Tycho Mopyr in 300AC, who had made terms to end the trade war with Lys in exchange for their support in the conquest of the city. The war would rage for the next four years. At the Battle of Pelosse, the Myrish won a resounding victory that stayed the hand of the Tyroshi and the Lyseni for a few moons, before, bolstered by a dozen minor sellsword companies, they marched once again.
The Battle of the Amber Bay was fought in the fifth moon of 301AC, marking the loss of Myrish control over the Sea of Myrth for nearly a year to the joint forces of Tyrosh and Lys. The city was sustained by land, however the city suffers greatly from the loss of trade.
After Lys announced its retraction from the campaign against Myr, Tyrosh was forced to stand its ground in the naval siege against Myr alone. They win a victory against the Wolves of the Wind at the Battle of Morning Wake, but are too forced into retreat at the Prince's Ploy, named for the Prince of Pentos who distracted Archon Tycho Mopyr from his battle plans with offers of trade. Whether this was a deliberate effort in aid of Myr or simply questionable timing remains a matter of contention.
Seeking to bait the Myrish navy into a trap, the Tyroshi admiral Lysandro Lashare sent his fleet to Pryr. When Vyros Drahar ordered the fleet of Myr to ignore the Tyroshi navy and simply attack the city, Lashare commanded a strike that crushed the Myrish against the shores of the Tyroshi isle. Knowing it is unlikely that they will be successful without Lyseni support, the Archon of Tyrosh instead takes the victory as an opportunity to demand a peace treaty with Myr in exchange for a cessation in the fighting. In the demands, the city of Pelosse is reinstated to the Tyroshi officially, having long been ruled over by Myr before falling to the armies of Tyrosh two years prior. As part of the treaty, Tyroshi rule is to remain unchallenged in perpetuity, which proved a controversial proclamation.
