Kaladin refers to the Thaylen accent as sounding like mumbling, and Shallan - in thinking of the Thaylen language - says that they are "mashing letters together without proper vowels."

==Culture==
The dominant cultural tradition in Thaylenah is Alethi Vorinism. Thaylen women cover their safehands, though more of them wear gloves for practicality or to keep up appearances.
The monarchy of the kingdom is not a hereditary position. The councils of merchants and naval officers pick the new monarch. They have great influence in Thaylen City.
==Accoutrements==
According to Rock and Dalinar, the kingdom of Thaylenah has five Shardblades and three full suits of Shardplate, each held by an ancient family line sworn to defend the throne.

Thaylen bread is fluffy and brown and is referenced often in The Way of Kings. It plays a large role in ardent Kabsal's interactions with Shallan.
==Notable Locations==
Thaylen City has a four-pointed star pattern.
Its ten temples - each dedicated to one of the ten Heralds - are large spaces with a high-domed ceilings and massive braziers. There, ardents burn thousands of glyphwards for the people, who supplicate the Almighty for mercy and aid. Smoke pools in the temple domes before leaking out through holes in each their roofs.
According to Navani, the progression from temple to temple is traditional in Thaylen City. Visiting all ten allows a survey of the Royal Ward, and is a not-so-subtle reinforcement of the throne's Vorin piety.
==Thaylen People==
===Appearance===
Long, white eyebrows are characteristic of the Thaylen people. Some wear them tucked behind their ears. Mrall, however, shaves both his head and eyebrows,* which is definitely not traditional Thaylen practice.
Thaylen men have stark white beards and long white eyebrows, regardless of their age or the color of their hair. Their eyebrows grow very long and are sometimes worn tucked back behind their ears. Tozbek (the captain of the Wind's Pleasure on which Shallan took passage), wore his in a spikey fan pattern above his eyes. Thaylen women's eyebrows are also long; the wife of the book merchant, Artmyrn, that Shallan visits, curls hers to hang down the side of her face like bangs.
Traditional merchant clothing consists of flat-topped conical caps, and vests. Starched robes used to be more popular several years ago.
