Talgar
Due to the strong local position of the house's branches, Talgar became a shelter to the young former Prince Esterad Thyssen and a large number of exiles still loyal to him after the events of the Secession of Poviss, and the following events which led to the collapse of the East March.
Due to the strong local position of the house's branches, Talgar became a shelter to the young former Prince Esterad Thyssen and a large number of exiles still loyal to him after the events of the Secession of Poviss, and the following events which led to the collapse of the East March. During this time the country was ruled by Lady Bernika who took power after escaping from a mage tower in which she was imprisoned due to the suspicions of being afflicted with the Curse of the Black Sun. Her reign was rather strict - rumor had it that the most seen part of the Talgarian landscape during that period were the gallows.
In the far future, the weather changed enough that northern regions, like Talgar, Caingorn, and Kaedwen, were no longer able to grow certain types of produce due to the colder climate.
History
Settlement
Talgar was first settled by the Dauk and Wozgor people before the First Landing in the 760s, according to a classification by the historian Arnelius Grock.
Incorporation with Kovir and Poviss
Previously being a kingdom of its own, Talgar was likely to have been incorporated to the kingdom of Kovir and Poviss around the 12th or 13th century, especially in comparison with other the Kovirian vassals.
