"This blade is older than your entire civilization, and so too is the power with which I wield it."[1][FRPG:47]
The anarchs of Shyr are swordmages who based their fighting techniques on traditions of a long and almost forgotten past from a realm not too far from Toril. These anarchs can harness the magic and power stirring within the Elemental Chaos to empower their abilities to become devastating attacks.[1][FRPG:47]
An order of genasi swordmages who developed a unique form of fighting style millennia ago in Abeir to defend themselves from the enemy, the draconic empires. The order fell once they turned to kingmaking ways, yet there were a few who remained fast in the order's ways and ancient purpose. When Abeir and Toril merged briefly during the Spellplague, some of the disciplines of these anarchs carried the order's traditions with them, and it has since spread throughout the Realm. An anarch of Shyr may no longer serve Shyr, but they are true to the honor of those anarchs in the past.[1][FRPG:47]
