Team

The core team is a group of friends inspired by fantasy franchises, such as Lord of the Rings, World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls & Dune. The creation of Tyrrha started before the initiation of the Chains of War project by creating our lore, background stories, and artworks. The blockchain and NFTs offer us the platform to create a community, raise investments, and be at the forefront of blockchain utilization. This gives us the fantastic opportunity to build our fantasy world.

The core team draws inspiration from iconic fantasy franchises such as The Lord of the Rings, World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls, and Dune. Before Chains of War officially began, we were crafting Tyrrha’s lore, developing stories, and producing artwork purely out of passion. The arrival of blockchain and NFTs now provides a platform to build a thriving community, secure investment, and leverage cutting-edge technology—enabling us to bring our fantasy world to life on a grand scale.

Each core team member brings professional expertise across areas like 3D modelling, video production, development, merchandising, branding and licensing, project management, storytelling, and legal affairs. Many also have hands-on blockchain experience, allowing us to move confidently to the forefront of this emerging space. Combining industry skills with a deep enthusiasm for Cardano and its possibilities enables us to create an authentic, engaging experience.
