Hi,
I have a question, how do we call a inhabitant/man of Tyria (I mean man that was born in Tyria/lives in Tyria)? Is it Tyrian?
Or tyrian is only adjective? I'm asking for noun.
I know this question is stupid, but I couldn't find anything on google/wiki and I'm asking here, I'm not native english speaker so I'm not sure if it's Tyrian or if that noun exists.
Thanks for help

Tyria is a region as well as the name for the whole planet. So "Tyrian" wouldn't neccesarily be wrong, but it isn't the best description if you know what nationality they are.
Description (Region)
Canthan (Cantha)
Tyrian (Tyria)
Krytan (Kryta)
Ascalonian (Ascalon)
Istani (Istan)
Vabbian (Vabbi)
Kournan (Kournan)
Luxon (Jade Sea) <--Still Canthan, but not part of the Dragon Empire
Kurzick (Echovald Forest) <--Still Canthan, but not part of the Dragon Empire

Tyria is the name of the continent as well as the entire planet. So if we follow the pattern of Earth -> North America -> USA then a character created in Prophecies would be a Tyrian (Planet) -> Tyrian (Continent) -> Ascalonian. However we don't normally refer to each other as Earthlings.

Plus, it is a reasonably common science fiction trope for Earth natives to be referred to as Terrans - possibly because it has a little more gravitas than "Earthling". (Which tends to be used more as a derogatory term by aliens believing themselves to be superior.)
On the whole, I'd probably be inclined to use "Tyrian" as a native of the world, more specific names otherwise. Certainly, though, there are some ambiguities, as "Tyrian" could be an inhabitant of the world or the continent, and "Canthan" could be an inhabitant of the continent or the nation. Possibly the same for Elona now that Palawa's conquered it under his banner, too.
