![]() The Grasslanders responded, specifically the forces of the Karaya, Lizard, and Duck clans. Tinto invaded the Grasslands in 465 with its army led by Gijimu, initially to quell an uprising that occurred within Tinto's newly acquired lands. This has brought Tinto into direct conflict with the Zexen Confederacy as well as the tribes of the Grasslands on numerous occasions. Over the years since the foundation of the Tinto Republic, the nation's borders have expanded rapidly to the west and north across its natural border of the Lana River. The reasoning behind this was that Tinto's priorities differed vastly from those of its former allies to the east due to its isolated location to the west and as such Tinto felt as if it could best address its concerns alone. After Highland was defeated and a sense of normality was restored to the Dunan area, the Tinto Republic was founded, rather than Tinto joining the Dunan Republic. This caused friction between Tinto and South Window and led in part to the eventual demise of the Jowston Alliance.Īfter the collapse of the Jowston Alliance, the various city-states were in disarray until rallied under the New State Army. Eventually, South Window's forces withdraw by the order of Lord Granmeyer, and without their support, Tinto soon withdrew as well. In 458, after the collapse of the Scarlet Moon Empire and the formation of the Toran Republic, the new nation went to war with the forces of Tinto and South Window which still occupied Senan. Kasim Hazil soon surrendered to the Toran Liberation Army and Senan fell under the control of Jowston. In response, Tinto and South Window sent their troops into Senan, diverting Kasim Hazil's forces toward them. In the year 456, in order to defeat Kasim Hazil's forces at Moravia Castle, Mathiu Silverberg sent a letter to the Alliance, informing them of a (false) Scarlet Moon Empire plot to attack them. Emperor Barbarossa, along with the Six Great Generals and the tactician Leon Silverberg, managed to push them back across the border.Įyes still set on Scarlet Moon, Jowston proved easy to manipulate during the height of the Toran Liberation War. The Jowston forces attacked in the Dana region, taking Kalekka while the nation was preoccupied with its War of Succession. In 447, the southern regions of the Jowston Alliance, Tinto and South Window launched an attack on the Scarlet Moon Empire. The race eventually relocated to Two River City. In 432, the strip mining that made Tinto such a financial powerhouse began to have a detrimental effect on the land, forcing the Winged Horde to leave Tinto. Tinto contributed as a member of the City-States of Jowston for many years, contributing mostly in terms of financial aid but also with troops to help push back the Highland Kingdom invasion of the Dunan region. That same year Tinto joined the Jowston Alliance. In the year 366, the mining town of Tinto, located in the far south-eastern reaches of the Grasslands became an independent city-state by using the Tinto Miner's Guild core bureaucratic structure, setting in place the foundation of the very same government that run the Tinto Republic today. As such, its expansion is intended to providing living space and enough food for the nation to not over-rely on foreign imports. As a city-state, Tinto was very small and had little farmable land. The country generates great revenue through mining, especially with the mining of Water Gems, which are a very important magical material, used for, amongst other things, the creation of rune crystals. Tinto's expansionist policies are not to gain land for financial gain. A popular dish in the area is the Tintoburger, in which they add Mayonnaise to their Hamburgers, rather than the standard mustard or ketchup, apparently. Its culture and customs draw from several sources including the period of Jowston membership, its attempts at western expansion into the Grasslands, and its unique socialist government. Tinto's land, pre-expansion, had been known for its dry and arid nature, partly due to its own wasteful mining methods, leading to the need for crop imports from surrounding nations. ![]()
