A purely fantasy blend of David Edding's Nyssans softly wrapped with islander cultures and the Ji'Ken of Comraich Original.
Tenysia lies in the far southeastern corner of Essealas and is likely to be one of the main arrival ports for those escaping the invasion 1100 years ago. Due to dense jungle overgrowth, Tenysia appears significantly older than any of the other city-states. The architecture varies significantly; pan-Asian elements blend harmoniously with older Mayan style structures and newer Mediterreanean-Desert builds. No matter how well built, structures in Tenysia do not long survive the invasive jungle of the Mvau Marshes.
Due to a wide selection of native spices, the Sythian diet is unusually spicy and exotic. The native diet runs high to all manner of fresh and saltwater fish, rice, and bamboo. The wealthy have access to their choice of unusual imported foods.
