Geography

History

Discover in antiquity by Prince Oscric of Amber. It was a isolated region of nearly 7 million sqr miles (just less then Australia) surrounded by mountains and had little connection to other shadows. The Agrarian people had been living a peaceful lifestyle raising sheep, goats, and fowl and growing grapes, olive trees, pepper trees and fruit trees. a wide range of vegetables were also grown.

Depending on how one views the functions of shadow according to Prince Osric he had sought in shadow a peaceful agrarian realm able to provide food stuffs to the growing populace of the Kingdom of Amber and Tazilwere fit the requirements well.

The Tazil had no military tradition and were not a combative people. Nor did they have any royalty being ruled mostly by Clan and family leaders.

Clans specialized in a products though often produced enough of other produce to need little trade. Still a robust barter economy had developed with regional fairs and clan agreements to trade produce.

Osric found a clan at the confluence of three large rivers, each of which were large enough to shadowsail a merchant ship on. 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.

The Rebalas Invasion

In 5241, being the 40th year of King Random's reign, a people called the Rebalas invaded the Tazil region quickly and seized the royal family. They expelled the small Amber military presence transporting them magically to Diaga Raks. They married the crown Pricesses to one of their princess, deposed the king and queen and put their prince, Prince Padat Rebalas, on the Tazil throne.

They claimed right of conquest and informed the Amber Merchant Factor that the trade of produce in to Amber would not be disrupted.

A young prince escaped, and arriving in Amber invoked the golden Circle Treaty between Tazil and Amber. Prince Haris Tazil gained the aide of a small band of young Amberites to return to Tazil and oust the invaders.

Prince Haris is considered the only soldier the Tazil ever produced. After reinstalling the king and Queen, and slaying prince Padat Reblas, he was accepted into the Amber military, eventually becoming an elite.

Royal Family

The royal Family of Tazilwere is the Clan . Currently its ruler is King Trebin and Queen Gazala. Royalty rules for twenty years then resigns, and conclude overseeing a Jubilee of Life. During the Jubilee those of the family wishing to serve a king put a signet ring in a bowl. the rings are taken and backed into a giant cupcake pan. The pan is cooked. The cupcakes are removed and the king picks one at random. The signet ring included in the cupcake represents the new ruler, regardless of their sex.

The royal couple is sometime hard to tell from the gentry. They royal family does not embrace sumptuous dress beyond the average man. A simple coronet is all that separates them from the general citizenry.
