Overview & Canon History

Tasseldale is a land of wide-open spaces. The twelve villages of Tasseldale are connected by the Tasselway, a road that cuts through rolling, mist-covered grassland. The people of Tasseldale are proud farmers, ranchers, and crafters. Tasseldale is famous for the forging of excellent swords. Fifteen years ago, Sembia retreated from Tasseldale, returning the realm to independent rule. The ruler of Tasseldale is Grand Marshair Rora Rudiland, a devotee of Tyr and graduate of the Abbey of the Just Hammer. She is advised by the Elder Council, consisting of one representative from each of the twelve villages. The dale is defended by the Marshairs, a company of sixty mounted warriors who patrol the dale and keep the peace. Tasseldale has a long rivalry with neighboring Archendale.
