Tirisfalen Dróttinnate

"Great is Elune."

- Common Mush'ar War Cry

The Tirisfalen Dróttinnate, also known as the Qusintani Dróttinnate, was one of the major Lyuudri polities of the ancient world. Consolidated from the various Lyuudri tribes of northern Lordaeron around 4,500 PC, the Dróttinnate was a powerful nomadic empire that, despite its relatively small land area, commanded a large sphere of influence by dominating trade on Lordamere Lake and the mountain pass connecting Silverpine Forest to Tirisfal Glades. It had a relatively informal structure, held together more by personal loyalties and a shared culture than by a formalized government; the Dróttinnate only ever held a handful of major permanent settlements, all clustered in the northwestern corner of Tirisfal where the Dróttinn herself ruled.

While an early power in the region, the Dróttinnate failed to keep up with advancing technology and military doctrine, and by the Troll Wars in 2800 PC the Dróttinnate had shattered, with its major settlements held by the Amani Empire and the bulk of its population killed or assimilated into nearby Tyric tribes.
