Originally a part of the Gmorōn kingdom, Tyrna became the stronghold of Gmorōn kings after the fall of the city of Gmorōn at the hands of Ermoch.
It became a powerful kingdom on its own in 19th CFR and was the dominant power, only rivaled by the city state of Troun. Tyrna, Nadd and Troun were the three powers that defined Laeooy Coast in the 18th-19th CFR. Ruled by the family of Dōrsag which preserved the lineage of the Gmorōn kings, Tyrna was one of the first Laeooy Cost states to establish a diplomatic and trade relationship with Leykarya.
Tyrna was also a cultural center of northern Tarnaria and established a number of schools that taught philosophy, mathematics, geometry, trained scribes and government officials. There was a large and important school that taught Xaewoon lores - the Moon Book and the Great Lore. After the destruction of the emerging Hadeer civilization, a number of forcibly displaced Hadeer found their way to Tyrna and taught the Great Lore in the tradition of Osdol.
During the Red Orchid campaign of 1841-1842 led by Meerō_Dolysoh Tyrna was twice subjected to a siege, but was able to survive both. In spite of that, its influence rapidly decreases in the years after that, most probably due to unrelated reasons.
Tyrna was then the first out of the Laeooy Coast states to fall to the toorians, this time led by Meerō's son, Mosk-Sopoh Dolysoh. Inhabitants of the city were mercilessly slaughtered and the city was leveled. A large amount of early Tarnarian writings and records were destroyed. In spite of the kingdom's declining influence, its destruction sent waves across Tarnaria, eliciting both admiration and hatred for the Dolysohs. The murder of all Dōrsags in Tyrna led to a blood feud between the remaining Dōrsags and the Dolysohs, which ultimately contributed to the ascension of Brone Tōrmoh over a century later.
Mosk-Sopoh ordered the city rebuilt after the destruction of Troun, as he liked its location better and felt that there was no need for a settlement that would compete with Jhet.
The city again became an independent state following the fall of Toor after the Chaos wars, with Svonōr Fogon, a famous warrior from Tyrna, becoming the Jeenor of the Laeooy Coast armies and one of the Five Kings.
Tyrna then entered into a prolonged conflict with Gaskal, but neither side was able to achieve dominance, neither from a military nor an economic perspective.
