He established the City of Tazilqala to be a shipping hub off shadow and taught the Clan Zalriq to manage and organize shipping to Amber. He established a guard compound and a merchant factor. He discovered items in Amber the Tazil appreciated and would trade for. These mostly consisted of glassware and metals. Oils and wines had traditionally been stored in ceramic and the introduction in glass revolutionized the clarity of their produce and helped created some of the finest wines, vinegars and oils that can be found in shadow. |

<span style=color:darkgreen> As of this date there are exactly 7 Tazilwern in the military. I looked it up. One is General Falwies Ablegren-an expert in logistics and a sometime drinking partner of Dame Margot. <small> ''Wink, Wink''</small>. General Salis Drees-a engineer of some skill in road construction. Captain Feldel Bow-A ship's captain in the navy known for escort duty of merchant ships mostly. Two troopers that just signed on in the last decade. And lastly, much to my astonishment, Lieutenant Trent Lakana- a member of the [[Elites]] and a frequent Dungeon guard who I shit you not, I thought was from Begma and who has been a dungeon guard for twenty-one hundred years. I've gotten drunk with the guy, hell of a funny man and he never talks about his homeland. He was friggin assigned to me as an Elite by Good King Random for 5 friggin' years early in my drunken theater days and I've seen him arse deep in showgirls and homemade gin. But he never said more to me then he grew up on a farm and it has been his goal in life to never farm again. | <span style=color:darkgreen> As of this date there are exactly 7 Tazilwern in the military.

<span style=color:darkgreen>An additional note to my comments above since after the initial printing of them I was reminded that Prince Haris Tazil is a member of the [[Elites]] and a court guard. I had forgotten because when he came to Amber, invoking the Golden Circle, treaty I was mostly drunk. There was some trouble at home and he came and collected a half dozen of the newly [[Recognized]] cousins and they all went out and handled things. Afterwards he turned down the crown of [[Tazilwere]] in order to join the military of Amber. He is a pleasant enough fellow, and as a known Golden Circle prince is often mistaken for a courtier in the Court of Amber rather then a castle guard. Mild manners is an unusual camouflage for an Elite. They tend to stand out. | <span style=color:darkgreen>An additional note to my comments above since after the initial printing of them I was reminded that Prince Haris Tazil is a member of the [[Elites]] and a court guard.
