'''Timatyab''' (/timatʲab/), officially the '''Island Fortress of Timatyab''', is a Ward of [[Cataw]] located in the [[Sea of Thevs]], directly north of [[Paz Kiiam]] and south of the coast of Eastern [[Tardigradia]]. It is directly connected to mainland Cataw via portal magic, allowing it to be governed as if it was a continuous territory. As of 2026, Timatyab has 19,764 inhabitants.

Prior to Catawan colonisation, Timatyab was inhabited by a small population of Zigisians related to the Faeries of Cataw. They spoke a highly divergent Guazan language, which only has around 10 speakers in the modern day. At some point, the City of Cataw colonised the island and built a resource extraction outpost, which also served some military purposes. This outpost later expanded into a small trading port, which was then further extended to house the people living and working on the island.

== Economy ==
Timatyab is the home of Cataw's medical industry. It is also Cataw's only open-sea port, and due to its position outside of the Cataw Valley the Faerie gods have less jurisdiction over it, allowing for slightly less strict border control.
