  • An extra-dimensional/underwater mystic realm located off the coast of Europe, home to (among others) the fiendish Fomorians.
  • The heraldry of the Duke of Lyonesse is the Lion's Head. As children Thieruld and his younger brother Carleond were attacked by a Great Lion, the last of its kind to ever be seen in the land of Bretonnia. The two infants killed the lion and skinned it of its fur. Later on in life, when the two become the Grail Companions of Gilles, they would wear the beast's fur over their armour. It would be said that Thieruld fought with the heart and bravery of a Lion. The heraldry of Couronne, Carleond's duchy, also bares the Lion.
  • Lyonesse was settled by humans representing the United Republic of Earth in year 621 N.E. It later became a religious battleground between zealots belonging to the United God Movement and the local Greater Vehicle sect of the Solar Church of the Unconquered Sun, the latter brought by Horsehead missionaries from the Horsehead Empire. Lyonesse and it's local solar system over the centuries suffered from armed raids by the Mantis Lords and some of the more rogue Arvi space nomads. The original natives of the planet included local humans, one of the variant human races found in the Known Universe, dog-like Keiki, and green-skinned Vilaki. The human natives and the Vilaki clashed before contact with the United Republic had religious clashes over whether to worship the Greart Spirit traditionall
  • The Dukedom of Lyonesse is a founding Dukedom that lies upon the north-western shores of Bretonnia. One of the larger Dukedoms following its annexation of Mousillon several centuries earlier, the lands of Lyonesse are infamously known for their rivalry with not other Bretonnian realms, but amongst their own nobility, even in comparison to the other realms of Bretonnia. People blame the unusual geography, particularly the prevalence of excellent sites for fortifications, which deters rival Dukedoms from waging war or feuds with the Lords of Lyonesse. [1a]
  • Lyonesse is an island that appeared in the English Channel on October 31, 2062. The Royal Navy have cordoned off the island and an SAS squad is stationed there. Great Form elementals provide additional security. Lyonesse is located where the Stalker Ley and Stonehenge Ley meet.

  • Lyonesse was settled by humans representing the United Republic of Earth in year 621 N.E. It later became a religious battleground between zealots belonging to the United God Movement and the local Greater Vehicle sect of the Solar Church of the Unconquered Sun, the latter brought by Horsehead missionaries from the Horsehead Empire. Lyonesse and it's local solar system over the centuries suffered from armed raids by the Mantis Lords and some of the more rogue Arvi space nomads. The original natives of the planet included local humans, one of the variant human races found in the Known Universe, dog-like Keiki, and green-skinned Vilaki. The human natives and the Vilaki clashed before contact with the United Republic had religious clashes over whether to worship the Greart Spirit traditionally believed in by Vilaki or worship the Progenitors as gods, though many Vilaki on Lyonesse often worshipped the Progenitors as lesser deities subordinate to the Great Spirit. Lyonesse also saw some of it's "normal" humans involved in human-supremacist movements. Local government has always been vested in the Planetary Assembly, which is democratically elected every seven years and meets in the planetary capital city of Corozon, which is on the planet's northern continent. Lyonesse on average has cooler weather than Earth. During the time of the Jumpweb of the New Universe, many citizens of Lyonesse enthusiastically converted to the Church of the True God of the Unconquered Sun. The local branch of the United God Movement in the New Universe by and large combined with the local human supremacists, which somewhat discredited it. When it comes to United Republic of Earth poltical parties, the people of Lyonesse favor the Interplanetary Conservative Union, the Social Democratic Party of the United Republic, the United Party of God, and the Galactic Populist League in elections to both the Planetary Assembly and the United Republic's Senate. The United Progressive Party has very little support on this planet, unlike most places in the United Republic of Earth.
  • Lyonesse is an island that appeared in the English Channel on October 31, 2062. The Royal Navy have cordoned off the island and an SAS squad is stationed there. Great Form elementals provide additional security. Lyonesse is located where the Stalker Ley and Stonehenge Ley meet. The island rumored to have a magical aura in flux, as if the island is not really a part of either the physical or astral worlds. It is named after the home of Tristan of Arthurian legend. The legendary Lyonesse sank into the ocean and its rise would signal the return of King Arthur. Many Brits have linked the new island to this legend and believe that a new age for Britain is forthcoming.
  • The Dukedom of Lyonesse is a founding Dukedom that lies upon the north-western shores of Bretonnia. One of the larger Dukedoms following its annexation of Mousillon several centuries earlier, the lands of Lyonesse are infamously known for their rivalry with not other Bretonnian realms, but amongst their own nobility, even in comparison to the other realms of Bretonnia. People blame the unusual geography, particularly the prevalence of excellent sites for fortifications, which deters rival Dukedoms from waging war or feuds with the Lords of Lyonesse. [1a] It is very difficult to utterly defeat a Lyonen noble, so rivalries, once started between other Lyonen nobles, tend to continue for decades, if not centuries. This has resulted in a division within the lands that can never truly perish. Without any true outside threat to unite the scheming Lyonen Lords together, it is said that Lyonesse will be plagued with disunion for the rest of their history. Its current ruler is Duke Adalhard.
