Taliesin
The most powerful of the Namerian kingdoms, Taliesin is the home of the Namer Maeveen, of the music, the song, and the dance. It is also the main setting of the tale. The magic of Taliesin is a mixture of that of all the other Namerian kingdoms, condensed into Marks specific to the warrior who bears it. Taliesin is the most powerful voice on the Inter-Namer Council.
