Taselak is one of the three great cities and scientific nucleus of the island. Its long history is rich in tales of heroic sieges and mighty commanders, with a very martial culture because of the constant wars that have put the city under great strain.

The hand crafted walls are a sight to behold. The pink granite crenellations are covered in embellishing engravings, which disappear under the chips of wear in the places that have seen combat most often.

This city itself is a cosmopolitan metropolis with very diverse districts from the narrow streets of the slums to the marble pavements surrounding the noble quarters. Many monuments and looming buildings have been built in the city over time, often tied to legendary figures of Taselak whose dreams shaped their realm. Most predominantly casting their influence on the surrounding architecture and culture, the Alexander Palace is the traditional residence of rulers while the underground Mausoleum is where they find their final rest. The Grand Academy is the pride of Taselak, and teaches the brightest spirits of the island on all subjects, from the liberal arts to martial strategy to obfuscated sciences like Rhiccie warmth-healing.

The common folk are an easy-going people who often look with reverence towards the army: soldiership is one of the highest callings of Taselakian citizenship, one associated with the frequent parades of the army in the streets. They are highly religious, and generally follow familial traditions at home and the state religion at work.

The western suburbs are generally a poor place to be, toxic from decades of dumping chemical waste and garbage despite the state-of-the-art sanitation system taking advantage of the Taselak river and many underground tunnels. The areas South and East of the walls are fertile plains with many orchards and good roads allowing trade while the northern wall is the most heavily reinforced and guarded.
