Tyrrus
A shadowy name whispered in the archives of Rivellon's forgotten past.
Tyrrus is a name that surfaces occasionally within the deeper historical texts of Rivellon, though his presence in the primary narrative of Divinity Original Sin remains obscure and often debated among scholars of the Void's history. Unlike prominent figures such as Fane or Lohse, Tyrrus does not hold a singular, defining role in the main conflict between the Source and the Gods, leading to speculation about whether he was a minor agent of the Elder Gods or a historical figure whose deeds were lost to time.

Lore & Background
The ambiguity surrounding Tyrrus has led to various interpretations among scholars and adventurers alike. Some believe his name is a corruption of a title rather than a person, while others argue he was a minor servant of the Void Engine who operated before the current cycle of gods began their war. Regardless of the truth, his legacy remains shrouded in mystery, serving as a reminder that not all history survives the ravages of magic and time.
In Their Own Story
The dust motes danced in the single shaft of light piercing the abandoned library. The scholar ran a finger over the crumbling page, stopping at the faded ink. 'Tyrrus,' he whispered, the name feeling heavy on his tongue. It was not written with the reverence of a god or the malice of a demon, but simply as a record of a presence that once walked these halls, now swallowed by silence.
Reader's Guide
Understanding figures like Tyrrus requires navigating the fragmented history of Rivellon before the Source's dominance. Magical theories suggest that many pre-Source entities were erased or rewritten by the Gods to secure their power. Conflicts in this era often revolved around control of elemental nodes rather than the Void itself. Historical records from this period are unreliable due to magical interference and the passage of centuries.
