Tinturbean
Tinturbean is the third largest continent on Magicians' End. It is west and somewhat north of Myruthea, over the Kellwrack Sea and it has a rather cooler climate than the planet's main continent.
Articles about many of the most important places on the continent are linked at the bottom of the page, shown in chronological order of their foundation.
History
Although civilisation arose first on Myruthea, Tinturbean was settled at an early age and indeed, during the ancient days when the Trinity Moon Triple Enfolding rose to prominence amongst the New Kingdoms, it was a more important continent than Myruthea, since their capital city of Goolsyn, in the centre of the continent was the greatest city in the world at the time.
Tinturbean suffered badly from the after effects of the Sundering and took longer to recover than Myruthea. Its various small states were absorbed by the Old Pale Empire between 4448 BPC and 4430 BPC and even though there was later to be a continent wide insurrection (and perhaps, arguably, more than one), they never succeeded in breaking free for as long as the Empire lasted.
After the Planar Conformation, the continent found itself on the front lines in the struggles against the Dark Domains and once again (with some noteworthy exceptions), it generally suffered worse than Myruthea.
Under the rule of the Moderators' Council, however, during the second half of the third millenium APC, as the home of the Institute of Magical Analytics and the Free Union of Magical Scholars it briefly regained the centrality it had last enjoyed under the Trinity Moon Triple Enfolding. Quarowl was the home of the Council and stood at the heart of it all. But when the Council fell and the Time of Terrors began, Myruthea took the centre of the stage again and Tinturbean has been relegated to its traditional supporting role in the drama of world history ever since.
In recent years the continent has become something of a stronghold for the Congress of Concerned Citizens, with its capital at Quarowl. The Congress is particularly strong in the north and outside the other big cities. Much of the south, though, is governed by the Trans-Oceanic Empire, whilst Cynran and Greystow are isolated outposts of the Alchemical Alliance.
