The Realm of Ghyran, also know as the Jade Kingdoms or the Realm of Life, is one of the eight Mortal Realms. It's a bounteous realm forever flowing in cycle and the most verdant of lands when blooming. The life in there was everywhere and innumerable shapes, spreading with a hunger that defied all logic. It has countless emerald gardens filled with verdant life of every kind, lush valleys, babbling streams and glittering mountains. The skies are covered in tangling canopies, vast clouds of spores, shattered husks of sky-islands and storm-reefs. The entire realm responded to the eternal song of Alarielle, her voice echoing from every corner of the realm, except where darker gods held sway.The ancient laws of Alarielle forbid logging in the realm, which is strictly enforced by the Sylvaneth, forcing cities to import stone and timber.

Ghyran is a realm of verdant life and lustrous forest. The landscape consist of beautiful streams and waterfalls, glimmering mountains, mystical vales and enchanted springs, and many a great forest spread through out the realm. There are vast beautiful oceans, lush valleys and babbling springs, all brimming with life. The air is covered by thick canopies and spore clouds and here and there are great islands that float in the sky. There are great trees the size of mountains, branches crest the sky and whose roots and bark are as hard as iron.

As the forces of the chaos god of plague, Nurgle invade the realm, the dark god of decay's influence has started to corrupt the land, killing trees and starving the wild life of sustenance. Many great bogs, fens and marshes have started to form as a result.


Inhabiting Races:
Primarily humans , various aelven factions with wood aelves in the majority, duardin, orruks, goblins, ogres, beastmen, and the Sylvaneth.

Prime Worship:


All of the gods are worshiped in this realm by their own individual races but Allarielle is the most powerful deity of this realm. Humans, Aelves, and the Sylvaneth worship her primarily.

Timeline

Age of Myth
Alarielle plants soulpod glades across the Realm of Ghyran from these come the first Sylvaneth, the Oakenbrow Glade and Gnarlroot Glade. She becomes a member of Sigmar's Great Alliance and appointed as Protector of the realm of Ghyran, but as time passed she continued to pine for the lost World-that-was and increasingly desired only to tend to her own Realm of Life. She rued returning to the Vault Celestial for council due to the endless bickering. Alarielle during the Age of Myth ruled from the Verdant Palace.

Age of Chaos
Nurgle devastates the realm of Ghyran, infesting it with disease and his plague infused followers and daemons, Alarielle and her peoples resist but as time passes, Nurgle only grows stronger and the realm of life weaker. Eventually she fled her home and hid for centuries in the Hidden Vale of Athelwyrd. From there she commanded the Sylvaneth through the World Roots in a war called the Hidden War, sending forth powerful enchantments and commands to defeat the invading chaos, but she saw every atrocity and grew despondent and could not bear to look any further. She sought comfort in the simple things of nature and memories of a prosperous past and stopped answering her commanders.

Age of Sigmar
Only the arrival of the Stormcast Eternals to the Verdant Palace broke her from her reverie, pacing back and forth, wondering if it was time to leave her mourning aspect and into her war aspect.

The Realmgate Wars
Hidden: Depressed, Alrielle has retreated to one of her last hidden strongholds - Athelwyrd, Sigmar sends Stormcast Eternals to locate her but they also lead Chaos to her, forcing her and few remaining followers to flee.

Last Hope: Despite the unrelenting pursuit of Torglug the Despised and the loss of all her followers, the soulpod is planted on Blackstone Summit in the bloodsap of her most devoted daughter, the Lady of Vines.

Awakening: Alrielle is reborn in her most warlike aspect, rejuvinating many parts of her dying realm and her followers, a new War of Life begins as her spirit-song sounds across every realm.

Aftermath: She sensed Sigmar's manifestation upon the Nevergreen Mountains in Ghyran and sent a lesser manifestation to confront him, angry at his invasion. The god offered to help the goddess rescue the Sylvaneth Soul-Pods held hostage within a Flux-Cairn by Tzaangors. She refused and tried to rescue them with her sylvaneth, but they failed and soon erased her manifestation, leaving Sigmar alone with the laughter of Tzeentch.
