Ṭisuraku [ˈʈi su ra ku] was founded early in the fifth century by Ṭisuram on the shores of the Namal, at the height of its power. As the balance of power and profit shifted towards the Littoral, it declared itself independent of its parent city (555) and attempted to assert its place among the new crop of progressive nations. They quickly deposed their poşmim and adopted utampas or democracy, a move inspired by Kolatimand and its own success at nation-building.

Ṭisuraku didn't prove quite as successful, though. It and its mother city came under attack by Guṭḷelik forces in 724, and after 14 years of siege, it finally fell to the combined arms of Guṭḷeli and Papliopagimi. The occupation of the city marked the end of its independence, and even though it would change hands a number of times throughout history, it would never re-emerge as an actor on the stage of Skourene politics.

Interestingly, Ageşoram was the only other city that was part of the small nation of Ṭisuraku; during Ageşoram's brief independence after the collapse of the Mudric Confederacy, Ṭisuraku would be the only other city that was part of its territory.

Modern Čisuragu is no more than a small town; it has been overshadowed by nearby Mutab.
