Mainworld Topography and Geography

Tyrfing's capital city, Munarvag, is located on the western edge of Dagmark, the largest continent.

Starport

Tyrfing’s highport is modest, capable of handling a large volume of traffic but not impressive to look at. Its design is unusual, though, with a central hub area having only shuttle docks, and several specialist ports handling different types of traffic.

History & Background (Dossier)

A temperate world in the Sword Worlds Subsector of the Spinward Marches. Prior to the Fifth Frontier War, Tyrfing was a member of the Sword Worlds Confederation, but in the aftermath of the war Tyrfing became part of the Imperial Client state known as the Border Worlds Confederation. As a member of the Border Worlds, Tyrfing is an important conduit for trade with the Sword Worlds Confederation. A slapdash city, Brakigastad, has grown up around Tyrfing's starport.

World Culture

Extremely conservative, Tyrfings often practice a focused form of Aesirism that concentrates on Freya as the god of fertility and crops.

Language

• Sagamaal

Trivia

Tyrfing was a magic sword in Norse mythology. The dwarves made the sword, and it shone and gleamed like fire. They cursed it so that it would kill a man every time it was drawn and would be the cause of three great evils.
