==Trivia== * Ghyran has the most settlements of Order after Azyr, and was the place where the first major cities built after the Age of Chaos were established. * Ghyran produces magical water called Aqua Ghyranis that's super nourishing to plants, one of their chief exports and is the favored currency of the mortal realms. You'd think this would make Ghyran super important in the lore...but since it's not Sigmarines or [[Shyish|edgy]] [[Ghur|enough]], it didn't really have a lot happening following Alarielle awakening from her slumber and bringing the Sylvaneth back in First Edition until she enacted her Rite of Life. ** Now why would this be the central currency of the mortal realms? Well, Aether-Gold holds minimal value to any race that isn't the [[Kharadron Overlords]], the [[Fyreslayers]] jealously guard their Ur-Gold and would rather murder anyone who's seen carrying it rather than bargain for it and using realmstones are volatile to varying degrees and have certain superstitions surrounding them. Now you might ask do coin-based currencies still exist? The answer is yes but their value and exchange rate can vary widely throughout the realms (not helped by an incident when the Khardron Overlords flooded the market with precious-metal coinage from Chamon when a standardized coinage system was tried, leading to rapid inflation in some areas), so they don't have a standarized value throughout the realms. So most favored currencies tend to have some inherent value attached (Glimmerings from Excelcis, Spice-blood, Black Salt, Meteroic metal tokens of Azyr to name a few). Also helping is that Aqua Ghyranis serves as not only an emergency potion to heal injuries but also a purifying agent that can help the growth of crops, something that all the forces of order (or at least, those with living populations) rely upon for stability and is held by a steadfast ally of Sigmar. * Like all of the Eight Realms, Ghyran is prone to bizarre and highly fantastical magical terrain and environmental effects. Mentioned in passing are "life-quakes", which can result in spontaneous, immaculately conceived pregnancies. [[/d/|Male pregnancies, perpetual pregnancies, interspecies pregnancies, turning into a plant]] and more are also implicit things you have to worry about happening to you in this realm, especially if you're stupid enough to try and get close to the Realm's Edge. In all, Ghyran is the most [[Magical Realm|magical]] of the realms. * The realmstone native to Ghyran is called Cyclestone, such named for its constant and cyclical change from solid jade-like ice to emerald liquid to green gas and back again. This change is of course representative of the cycle of life itself, and for that reason it is both fiercely guarded by Sylvaneth and coveted by various other races - chiefly being how it might be an ingredient to the ever-valuable Aqua Ghyranis. While it is capable of purifying corruption, it's also quite receptive to corruption in return and is also capable of setting off the various abovementioned unfortunate events. {{AoS-Realms}}
