Tyrosh had its fair share of trouble - as the term of the Archon was running out, Magister Arvaad Marinar attempted a coup, intent on usurping the power of the city and crowning himself King of Tyrosh. He barely succeeded, but it took nearly two months of struggle, and the city's forces were spent in the fighting and the following purges. Lys took advantage, gathered its men and fleet, and sacked Tyrosh, looting the city for all it was worth, killing the newly crowned king and the remaining magisters.
