Tajar, the City of the Sea, is connected to
Hirse by a long string of farmlands and operates as the primary point of trade between the capital and the outer world. While the
Sea of Mists is a dangerous ocean, it is far less treacherous than endless miles of sandy wastes, and small ships typically drift by the shore to
Lasthold and
Barisea careful not to be caught by the tide and sent further out to sea.
Aside from being a point of trade, Tajar is known as a center for piracy, though most "illicit" activity is actually sanctioned by the crown and targets only foreign shipping, from which a portion is paid to the Shalazzar's treasury.
