## History

### The Founding

The town of Tinith was founded by a foreigner to this realm, Norvosi White. After his great wandering, Norvosi found his way to the doorsteps of Heran, the capital city of the Unitary State of Praskova. There he was warmly welcomed by the nation's leader, Sirus Markov. He brought Norvosi to the city of Kolyferma. There he was given supplies to construct his own home and begin his life in Kolyferma.

Months passed before the thought of Tinith's existence began to circulate. Sirus would contact Norvosi with plans. He wished to expand their borders and offered Norvosi the once in a lifetime opportunity to start a new settlement. According to Norvosi himself, a voice in his head urged him to accept the deal. A possible name rattled around in his head even though he didn't know why. The voice was so overwhelming that, before he knew it, Norvosi had accepted Sirus' deal. Sirus promptly showed Norvosi the land where he wanted him to build and told Norvosi to claim as much land as he possibly could for the sake of Praskova.

Norvosi would start in the middle of that summer. As he wandered looking for a place to start, he stumbled upon a supposedly abandoned road. Using this as a sign, Norvosi would set to work, erecting the first house in a matter of only a few days. And so, the foundations of this new town were laid and Tinith was born.

### Praskova-Durucari River Crisis

A few weeks later after the first three houses were erected and the food sources of Tinith were established, a few men came wandering up the grey road. The leader, Snowman, approached Norvosi. He asked a few friendly questions before quickly coming to the point of his visit. As it turned out, Snowman was the leader of a neighboring nation called Durucari. He claimed to have built the road that the city was founded on and claimed that this meant that the area belonged to the Durucari nation. Confused, Norvosi calmly explained that he had been sent by the leader of Praskova to start a new settlement. Snowman laughed. He told Norvosi that he had been set up by his leader because Sirus knew this land belonged to him. Norvosi quickly dismissed this "revelation". As he would later recall, something about that situation was eerily familiar. Norvosi dismissed them. Once they were on their way, Norvosi quickly wrote a letter to Sirus, recounting all that had transpired. Sirus wrote back, not surprised by the sudden claims. He explained that Durucari has always had it out for Praskova, even since its founding. Sirus told Norvosi not to worry about it and that all would be taken care of.

A few day later, Sirus would reach out to Norvosi via letter. He asked if Norvosi would be willing to move the town as he was trying to get every Praskovian's opinion on the matter. Norvosi replied that if needed so to avoid war, he would be willing to move the city block by block. But if moving the city could be avoided, he would prefer that. Sirus thanked him and told him a resolution would come soon. Norvosi would go on to send a letter to the leader of the Durucari to negotiate personally. However, these proved to be in vain as Snowman gave one option that he would accept: Tinith was to join Durucari. Norvosi angrily declined this offer and burnt Snowman's letter.

More days passed before anything else happened. Norvosi, as the first Otec and leader of Tinith, was invited to attend a meeting regarding the border crisis. He accepted this invitation and attended the meeting. After two hours of debate and negotiating, a decision was made. New borders were agreed upon and Tinith remained in the same spot. This event that had begun long before Tinith's founding was dubbed the Praskova-Durucari River Crisis. Unfortunately, due to the newly agreed upon terms and borders, the Markov Manor was to be given up in the process. This was a home to the slave Nayak Npazruutj. Nayak was given a new plot of land to build a new manor near by Tinith. And because of the closeness to the town, Nayak suggested to Norvosi that the manor would be a part of Tinith. After some conversation, the two men agreed to have the site of the new Npazruutj Manor be located in Tinith.
