Tymaria (Adarani: टाइमनिया) is a ruined city in Çakaristan, located on the southernmost island of the Norfolk Isles. Earlier, the city was known as "Tymaria City". The city was abandoned in 1639 AN. In 1723 AN, the city was discovered by chance. A ship bound for Hana'apui suffered shipwreck and the survivors were stranded near Tymaria.
The island enjoys protected status. The ruined city is not allowed to be inhabited and can only be visited under escort. Access to the island is allowed only with special permission, which can be obtained from Tymaria Office in Jaaguzanbul. Flights go to the island only from Jaaguzanbul.
History
On first map of the whole of Micras, as far as is now known, the island, on which the ruined city is located, is visible. This island, like the rest of the Norfolk Isles, were under the flag of Shireroth. On version 4.5, the city of Tymaria became visible, but it was not until 1567 AN that the city became the formal capital of the Shirerian Norfolk Isles. Only to later lose that position of capital in favour of Augesbury. In 1618 AN, the city, along with military station Halifax, became part of Apollonian Republic of Shireroth's East, while the rest of the Norfolk Isles still remained under Shirerian flag. A year later, the rest of the Norfolk Isles passed to the Apollonian Republic. Tymaria City was the second most populous city in the Apollonian Republic, with a population of 9,387,000. But in 1639, the city and the island on which it was located disappeared.
In 1723 AN, the ship "Voltarno" departed from Manbai to Hana'apui, capital of the Taka'atui. A storm unexpectedly struck North Raynor Sea, the ship suffered shipwreck. 13 passengers did not survive the shipwreck, the others managed to escape the sinking ship in lifeboats. As the weather cleared, it became clear that land was nearby. It turned out to be the island that had disappeared from the map. The ruined city of Tymaria was discovered by castaways.
After the Çakari flag was planned on the island, work began on a village on an undeveloped part of the island. A small airport was also constructed. All in preparation to allow tourism to visit the ruined city.
Is it on or off the map?
Early claimsmaps show the island; with the appearance of the city, the island was completely covered. But when the city disappeared, the island also disappeared from the claims folder. On the physical map, the island cannot be found. Also on Shirerian maps from 1632 AN, the island cannot be found.
Tourism
The ruined city can be visited from Jaaguzanbul. There is a direct train connection from Kadim, a stopover on the Apollonian Express, to Jaaguzanbul airport. A permit to visit the island and ruin city can be obtained from the Tymaria Office at Jaaguzanbul airport. In addition to the permit, one can get a ticket to fly to the island on the Tymaria Express. The flight takes 1 hour and 14 minutes. The ruin city can be visited by means of a tour bus, with a guide narrating.
The more adventurous traveller can take a free hike, but this is often not covered by travel insurance. Special insurance can be taken out at the Tymaria Office; carrying a tracking device is mandatory. There is no possibility of staying overnight on the island; all tourists must leave the island again before sunset. There are high fines for breaking this rule. A multi-day visit is possible via a cruise trip, where one can stay overnight on the cruise ship.
There are plans for a cable car through the ruined city, but these are still on the drawing board.
Tymarian Palace
The Tymarian Palace, in the center of Tymaria City and surrounded by the large gardens, are an impressive sight for those who can get close enough. The artwork - according to sources - became a mix of the two dominant Eastern Shirerithian cultures: those of Kildare and Aryasht.
The building had fallen in disarray around 5200 ASC (1605 AN) but was eventually rebuild by command of Dutchess Sophia I, who wanted to use it as a family residence after it was agreed that She and the Prince of Aryasht would marry, following the agreement between both States in 5266 ASC (1608 AN).
Trivia
- In 1606 AN, the city's name was changed to Sarvabhaumapur (City of the universal empire). The name did not last and did not appear on a claimsmap. See here.
