Taglios (formally known as Trogo-Taglios, or Troko Tallio according to the maps at the Temple of Traveler's Respose) was a city south of the Sea of Torments and The Lady's empire. It was the biggest city Croaker had ever seen. The people of Taglios were peaceful and were not very skilled in warfare, their warrior caste having been pacified and extinguished during the Khatovar Wars 400 years ago. Their only protection was a nearby river as the city did not have city walls.
Taglios was officially ruled by its prince Prabrindah Drah with the help of his sister Radisha Drah. In reality the head priests of the three major cults (Gunni, Vedhna and Shandar) had all the political power. The priests opposed the Black Company, who was hired by the prince to defeat the Shadowmasters. The priests even made an attempt on the Lady's life. Afterwards she organized a purge and over 1,000 priests were executed. Eventually Croaker became a military dictator and assumed full control over the city in order to defeat the Shadowmasters.
Military
With the coming of the Shadowmasters, the prince and the priests of Troko assembled a rabble led by three veterans from the north - Willow Swan, Cordwood "Cordy" Mather, and Blade. In the first Shadowmaster conflict, the trio from Roses enjoyed a lot of early success holding off the Shadowmasters due to Cordwood's orchestration, ambushing the shadowmaster troops as they disolved into disorganised small raiding parties after facing a lack of Taglian resistance.
Following the successes General Swan, the Priesthood rose up their own rabble.
In those days, Taglios was in service to The Black Company.
Under the dictatorship of the Liberator, Croaker, he reformed the Taglian military to be moldeled after the Legionries found during the ancient times of the Jewel Cities. The legions 30,000 infantry in total, divided into 3 legions, each lead by a Nar general. Besides the infantry,
However the priests, the most influential being the Shadar Jahamaraj Jah, still commanded a sizable army themselves. However Jah's forces would disolve following the Battle of Ghoja Fjord, when Croaker drafts the Shadar priest's army into the Legions forces, leaving him without an army to aid in the siege of Dejagore.
A Change in Captains
With Croaker missing in action and assumed dead, and being the only one outside the besieged city of Dejagore Lady took up the title of captain while no one could argue against her doing so.
Return of The Liberator
The Taglian Protectorate
With the Black Company having "gone to Khartovar" following the Khialune Wars, the city of Taglios was free to construct a wall for the metropolis, without the Company vetoing its construction. However, with no threat in sight, the size of the Protectorate's armed forces shrunk drastically, much to The Great General Mogaba's protest.
