Tàeil

Located on the northeastern peninsula of Talivur, the Tàeil confederation is a tight-knit collective of sovereign clans. The capital is An Pourt, a meeting place built among the Ceupon (familial towers) of the oldest clans. 
In the early bronze-age, the Tàeil remained hunter-gatherers and fishers with a strong community identity and an aural tradition which taught of the Book of Talav and sustained superstions surrounding mysterious spirits of the ocean. Maritime trade was established with their closest neighbours, espescially with the Vyti with whom there was some degree of population exchange. Initially maintaining a steady migration west, in the purported steps of their ancestors, Tàeil settlers were shocked to find a finite west coast. The story of their genesis and purpose in doubt, they underwent an agricultural revolution and resolved to an age of consolidation on Talivur Tuth.
Classical Tàeil saw the continued expansion of Ceupon cities within the people's charted borders. Specialisation of skills within these cities saw an early shift to urbanisation. The NanHaig clan, descendents of the famed explorer who discovered Vyt, were chief among the merchant families of Talivur.
The onset of the middle era was marked by the establishment of a Round Hall of clan lords, each representing a province. A boom of ornate stone-glass-metal architecture and urbanisation preceded an era of isolationism and stagnation. This dark era came to an end with the arrival of new Ekastian allies and the establishment of Ports-of-Way in Southern Talivur which opened new avenues for trade. The fall of Vyt and Resil sent shockwaves around the Everchains and sparked a scramble for the archipelago east of Talivur. This race for control formed deeper bonds between the native Talivurians and the Ekastia, while westerners from Idaros also established claims. In the aftermath, The True Council of Una of Malkgarth was established on the Vyti heartland (with condominium over Talikarth) under Tàeil control; Ul'Amat was also seized following the subsequent collapse of the Ma'Atali.
