Line 1:
'''Tynemouth''' is a coastal town and the second largest population centre in the [[Gabon|Chancellery of Gabon]]. The Gabonese capital of [[Salisbury]] is directly east. It is under the provinicial authority of Gabon's Lord Council, which meets in nearby Salisbury.
Tynemouth is built on the western coast of Gabon and faces the Bay of Hope. Surrounded by temperate forest on three sides, Tynemouth enjoys a cool climate made colder in the winter by the harsh ocean winds.
Line 11:
Prior to Gabonese settlement, the area today known as Tynemouth was largely uninhabited, with the exception of small fishing communities who were dispersed along the coast. They lived in quiet harmony until the arrival of Captain Television and his fleet, which brought the newly crowned Gabonese monarch.
Under the Queen's rule, the area to the east of modern Tynemouth rapidly developed into the city of Salisbury. The new Gabonese capital flourished, with expansion towards neighbouring [[Bloom]] and large numbers of immigrants seeking
wealth, honour or simply a new start. Despite this growth, the west coast of Gabon remained mainly undeveloped, except for a small number of buildings built under the Lord High Chancellor BritishWanderer's direction.
=== Modern Tynemouth ===
The first development of the land came after Gabonese Councillor OstenUndStolz's construction of nearby South Shields, another small town in Salisbury's surrounding forest. The first development made in Tynemouth was the Tynemouth Pier, notabe for its use of beautiful dark timber. Envisioned as a place for Gabon's citizens to visit and fish on, the Pier is also part of Tynemouth's greater harbour, which serves as a trading hub and export point to Varkonia and the rest of the world. Construction of homes and storage sheds soon followed and the town benefited from new arrivals coming from Salisbury.
