Tyran Arylon is the second son of Taran Arylon, The Elder. His father, while a great man, was not very present in his life. Five years his brother's junior, his father poured all of his love and attention into his older sibling. Tyran, long since learning to rely on himself, would never complain of that fact, as he considers it the simple reality of my upbringing. As a result, though, Tyran I developed a self-reliance and independence which has served him well, perhaps at no time more than when his home in Atamara was destroyed, and he and his brother became separated from their father. Landing on Beluaterra, suddenly it was Tyran who hunted for food, fought off rogues looking to steal what little they had, and finding work that paid gold. It was quite some time before the realm of Nothoi would hear of a noble family from Atamara joining their ranks, and by then Tyran was alone, his brother having set off for the glory of war in the south.

Now alone, but armed with a gritty persistence and some very practical survival skills, Tyran has vowed to build his own legacy in Nothoi, and is obsessed with deserving his place among the great families. He has since fought tenaciously for his new home, against both human invaders and monsters, rising quickly to become Strategos during the waning days of the long war against Thalmarkin. He has since been raised to the Throne of the White Wolf, serving as Hegemon. Since doing so, he made formal peace with Thalmarkin, supervised the peaceful settlement of Vordul Sanguinis near Nothoi, and has taken his place as one of the most prominent rulers of Beluaterra. When Thalmarkin once again asserted its aggression against Nothoi's ally Irondale, the Hegemon did not hesitate, and declared war to defend Irondale.

Over time, Nothoi under Tyran's leadership became known as the jewel of Beluaterra, and the fang of the Hegemon grew long. Tyran's efforts resulted in Nothoi becoming the largest and most militarily dominant realm on the continent, a status that persisted well beyond his tenure. Most scholars agree that, despite the grand achievements of his cousin Gheric, Tyran was the most politically adept, influential and powerful ruler in the Arylon family. However, Tyran, a committed Republican, also believed that leadership should never be concentrated in the hands of one man for too long, so after a long rule whereby he created a dominant realm that was stable in the long term, he stepped down as Hegemon. In his retirement he remained one of Nothoi's most prominent citizens, serving as the Duke of Mesh and the Governor of the shining forest city of Craesur, and fighting on the front lines defending the realm. At the age of 40, in the face of a tremendous invasion of his city, Tyran fell to the black beasts seeking to slaughter his people. After his death, the Arylon family commemorated him in a large ceremony, appropriate to his honored status. Tyran was, in the end, a legend known all over the world. For days, the family graveyard was swarmed with his friends and admirers. Artists composed songs and poems about him, and young maidens cried in their chambers over his loss.
