Lyissa is the homeland of the Lyiss. It is the smallest country by both population and landmass - fitting, considering the size of its inhabitants.
Lyissa is a small country nestled in between Tyreon, Viërra and Lytha. Because of its geographical location and rich mineral and rock deposits, Lyissa has become an economic hub through which other countries organise their imports and exports.
The country is run through democracy and a largely free market, allowing its citizens to use their craftsmenship for an income. Many Lyiss specialise in gem cutting and jewelry-making, due to the rich veins of precious stone that run through the mountains of Lyissa. The high quality stone that can be found alongside the gems, mainly marble, is cut out by miners and either used in sculptures or architecture by stonemasons, or exported to other countries for a hefty fee.
Euralla lives an almost solitary life in the capital, but has surrounded herself with Scholars who study ancient texts. She is responsible for the country boasting the largest (and most valuable) library in RPGverse.
The other inhabitants of Lyissa are separated by financial class, ranging from the rich upper class to the unfortunate slumdwellers that reside in the outskirts of Illa.
