- History in Tyrancia can be divided into “Ages”. These ages can be varying lengths, as they usually are based more around a major shift in power, ideology, or after a great catastrophe or event. For reference, UB stands for Uder Bestten, which means “In the Shadow of the Beast,” and WD stands for Wehmit Dracassen, which means “With Dragon’s Fire.”
