The '''Tyrants''' were a mysterious group who ruled [[Amshan]] from roughly {{Year|600}} until {{Year|1100}}.

== History ==
Upon their sudden arrival to Amshan in {{Year|600}} they conquered and deposed the old clan-kings and quickly set about a unification of what is now [[Marhasi]], central Amshan, bringing all existing settlements and clans into their domain. From their palaces, the ruins of which now lie buried under [[Vaumena]], they governed with cruelty and force, scattering the tribes and wholly demolishing the towns of any who dissented as well as destroying all records and monuments they could find of the past.

Ultimately the Tyrants were removed from power almost as swiftly as they came to it. An invasion of dragons from the west swept into Amshan around {{Year|1100}}, descending upon the fortresses of the Tyrants and razing them to the ground, erasing them from history nearly as completely as had the prior era of Amshan's history.

== Identity ==
The identify of the Tyrants is difficult to determine. They may have been a group of [[human|humans]] or other mortals of [[Kishar]] from outside Amshan, yet the few surviving written works from the time sometimes indicate otherwise. The Tyrants are often ascribed immortality, the ability to see the future, and the power to shapeshift into monstrous forms, but the degree of literalness with which to interpret these descriptions have long frustrated Amshani scholars.

No known artwork depicting the Tyrants survives.
