Tailasz

Tailasz is a Talmoëne politician most famous for being the architect of a series of constitutional and governmental reforms known as that Tailaszat – the Tailasz State.
Born in Catagholmoä sometime in the late 280s, she rose quickly through the colonial administration. Her time spent in the government of that somewhat precarious outpost would lend her a lasting interest in Eastern Policy, but of more immediate significance was that it convinced her of the need for constitutional reform.
Prior to the War of Two Serpents, Talmoä had been a geographically compact city state, confined to the city’s home island, some outlying island fortresses, and strips of the river bank. The conclusion of the war, which saw the city annex Szamoä, most of Aranmoä and half of Maramoä, transformed this picture but the effects were not immediately felt, so devastated had the newly won territories been by the war.
By the Fourth Century things had changed. Reisralon – as Szamoä had been renamed – was growing again into a thriving city and Meruszyphon would soon rise from the ruins of Aran to join it. Catagholmoä too had, since Meruszyph had finally brought an end to the Salt War some five decades previously, grown into a thriving colony once again. Yet the Talmoëne constitution still only really catered to the city herself.
After pursuing her career to the mainland, Tailasz became amongst the most vocal of those calling for reform. She rallied to her banner much of the merchant class and influential landowners, many ex-officers who leant the movement an air of respectability. She was opposed by the tiny, city-based state bureaucracy, by many of the saszā, and by the conservative Serai XX Joszao.
Joszao’s death in 306 ABV saw Tailasz elected as a Saidansaia, one of the city’s Council of One Hundred and One, and a sympathetic Twenty-First Serai elected in Serai XXI Maruszaphaszo. Despite some compromises with the cautious and traditional city structures, reforms are passed to put the rest of the state on a more equal footing, dividing the realm into prefectures (Saiännic: alotarieta) and granting the entire realm the right to elect the next Covosaidansai.
