Tir Murann is a village of Vertani nestled in the southern Dakhota Hills. Meaning "Land of Hope" in the Vertani tongue, the village was founded following the defeat of the Vertani forces by the Achaeans.
Geography
The village is located in the Dakhota hills, near the Great Southern Road, and the Mhojave Desert. It is built around a large Vertani fortress, and has a small quarry, and a spacious pair of animal paddocks. The architecture is notably Vertani.

The notable Vertani include:
- Byor, the Vertani boy

Culture
Unlike the Vertani who went to war with the cities of Ashtan and Mhaldor, the inhabitants of Tir Murann are peaceful. Vertani guards who patrol the area welcome "smalling" visitors with a reminder that the village is their last safe haven, and they plan to make sure it stays that way.
Tir Murann inhabitants did not support the leadership of the Vertani empire who declared war, and have come to Sapience to seek a new life. They still maintain, however, many of the military traditions of Vertani culture including a unique house system.

Flora and Fauna
There are multiple species of native Vertan creatures that have been brought to Tir Murann, including the powerful, zebra-striped moirahs, the scaled, lizard-like xabats, and the massive gours. The only noticably absent Vertan creature is the winged kalyuga.
The flora appears to be native to Sapience, rather than imported from Vertan and includes goldenseal wildflowers, lady's slipper plants, bayberry trees, and hawthorn bushes.
