Tinvaakin Kurtulmak is Draconic for "Speakers of Kurtulmak". In 1560 HE, they convinced Ashmerthoon's dragon emperor, a senile yellow dragon named Artang-Sund, into teaching them an ancient and very dangerous ritual. They convincingly told him he would be remembered for not only being a great ruler, but also a great teacher. The most powerful magic they learned was the Dragon Wake Ritual.
Requiring fifteen years to find the ingredients and synchronize with the stars, on 12 Brightstar 1575 HE, they invoked the Dragon Wake Ritual. It came in the waning years of Mir'piamauza and Zeymah'kein, violently increasing the death toll. Known as the Third Dragon Wake (1575 HE - 1576 HE), a dragon scourge, it sped the downfall of both Mir'piamauza and the Zeymah'kein. It caused extensive property damage and heavy casualties in the lands of Ashmerthoon and other peoples beyond the Aerie of Dragons.
When the Third Dragon Wake ended, the Tinvaakin Kurtulmak secured the dragon ritual tome in a Living Vault; one requiring 22 separate keys to open, and never opened since.
Most of guild's members are practitioners of dragon sorcery, and like Ashmerthoon, are no friend to the dragons or the dragon-bloods.
