Tamingazin is the north subcontinent of Otaria on Dominaria.

Description

Tamingazin is located north of Krosa. It is the home of humans, Viashino, Garan elves, and the En'Jaga race.

History

Institute of Arcane Study

Little is known of Tamingazin’s early history, but it became a refuge for mages after the Fall of the College of Lat-Nam, leading to the founding of the Institute of Arcane Study in the Valley of Tamingazin. Later, after the Fall of the School of the Unseen, more wizards and scholars found sanctuary there.

Betrayal of Tamingazin

For centuries, Tamingazin was a land of war and shifting alliances between the Valley of Tamingazin, the warlike Skollten to the north, and the expansionist Suderbod to the south. Though invaders, including the monstrous En'Jaga, sought its fertile lands, the magical Magewall shielded the Valley from external conquest.

Within the Valley, bitter conflicts raged between humans, Garan elves, and Viashino until human leader Tagard Tarngold allied with the elves and, with rogue mage Aligarius Timni, subdued the Viashino city of Berimish, but Tagard’s dream of unity was cut short when he was assassinated. His general, Karelon, seized power, blamed the Viashino, and waged war on them — while secretly conspiring with Suderbod. Manipulated by Suder agents, Aligarius Timni stole the Magewall Hub, disabling the Valley’s defenses and allowing a full-scale invasion.

As the Valley neared collapse, Tagard’s daughter, Tallibeth Tarngold, led a resistance, allying with the Viashino leader Lisolo and Garan rebels. They overthrew Karelon at great cost. Meanwhile, the exiled elf Recin and young mage Kitrin recovered the Magewall Hub with unexpected help from a remorseful Timni. In an act of redemption, Timni restored the Magewall just in time, severing Suderbod’s invasion force and saving the Valley. With Suderbod repelled, the Valley emerged stronger under Tallibeth’s rule, now governed by a council representing all three peoples.
