===[[Ghyran]] (Life)===

Trees, trees and more trees. Alarielle and her tree-friends hang out [[Ghyran|here]] and do a bit of gardening. Quite similar to the Realm of Beasts, only with more of an emphasis on life (duh) and nature over stark craggy canyons and shit. Contrary to popular belief the realm of Life is not an endless forest but actually contains all kinds of different land areas. However regardless of its regional location any area of Ghyran is full of life. So even a desert or craggy area in Ghyran will be fill with desert animals and plants and will be much more abundant than a similar area in another realm. The realm obviously has been greatly valuable as a source of crops and arable land which many civilizations take advantage of. However great care must be taken when logging, as this can easily draw conflict with local [[Sylvaneth]] communities. The realm also contains many varied and fantastical creatures and landscapes, though not anywhere near as dangerous and wild as the creatures and lands of Ghur the realm of Beasts. Ghyran serves as the main home of the Sylvaneth, but virtually every race has members that reside in Ghyran (even undead). Currently much of Ghyran is still corrupted by Nurgle and is embroiled in the war of life to reclaim the realm by the forces of Order from Nurgle's forces.

Currently Sigmars forces of Order have made many in roads into Ghyran. Such as the establishment of several new free cities and a loose-alliance between Sigmars forces and Allarielles. The War of Life to claim the realm from Nurgle is still far from over but real gains have been made in recent centuries following the Realmgate Wars. Ghyran has four major cities: Sigmar and his boys established the youngest and largest of them, Hammerhal Ghyra, which has a realmgate leading straight to the ream of fire, with its own city, Hammerhal Aqsha. The others are called the Seeds of Hope. The Living City was sung into existence by Alarielle herself in a matter of days, but is mainly inhabited by anyone not a treeperson. Greywater Fastness is an industral hub, bringing smog and lung cancer into the realm of forests. Needless to say, the locals were not amused, which caused violence and big loss of life on both sides. Thanks to Alarielles intervention the city is at least allowed to stay alive, instead of being starved out or serving as a reenactment of the Last March of the Ents, but Alarielle also promised a future reckoning for the harm they've caused. Lastly, Phoenicium is a proud aelven city from the age of myth that got sealed in amber. You know, like Pompeii, but more like an insect, especially since Ghyran has volcanoes that spew molten sap instead of lava. When the city was rediscovered, two phoenixes sang and flew around it, melting the amber and allowing for recolonization.

There is also subtle horrors in Ghyran, such as way that life magic interacts with reproduction. Mention is made of "the undulating island of Irridia, where even the soil itself is pregnant with new life", whilst "life-quakes" can result in spontaneous outbreaks of immaculate conceptions - not too bad in and of itself but imagine the problems that occur when a couple living in poverty suddenly find themselves expecting triplets. And then there's what happens if you dare to get too close to the Realm's End of Ghyran, the place where the boundary between Ghyran and the Realm of Chaos is especially thin and thus the magical energies of super-concentrated life are unchecked. Here people can [[Halo|sprout foliage all over their body]] or turn into plants while females also risk becoming [[/d/|perpetually pregnant]] or [[Broo|get pregnant with and give birth to different races or even species from their own]].
