Hanno of Tyria was the most-frequently attributed moniker for a philosopher or series of philosophers in the 19th century in what is now Tyreseia. Writing pseudonymously to protect their identity, Hanno wrote extensive tracts, pamphlets and articles during the turbulent early years of the 19th century, when Tyreseia was ruled by numerous petty polities and statelets. Frequently a critic of the nobility, monarchy and bourgeoisie of the Rubric Coast states, Hanno espoused a form of left-wing nationalism that advocated for a unification of the Tyresene city-states in the same fashion as neighboring Talahara's own revolution decades before.

Largely credited with inventing the word "Tyreseia," Hanno played a singularly influential role in shaping the intelligentsia's views on a potential Transrubricine state during an era defined by revolution and intellectual tumult. Though their ideas were on the margins of debate during their prime, they slowly were rediscovered and by the 1860s were being implemented and expanded upon by the ascendant left wing of Tyreseia's intelligentsia. Hanno's works were cited as integral to both the Provisional Government of the Tyreseian Republic and to Azmelcart Xidduni, though their interpretations and executions of their ideas were vastly different.

The question of who Hanno of Tyria was is still debated in Tyreseian society. Considered by many to be an integral force behind the existence of a Tyreseian identity,
