Geography
Sitting on the northeastern corner of Sapience, Tasur’ke faces the vast Eastern Ocean. The Temple of Ourania is also located here on the outskirts of the village. Thalassa market takes up the largest portion of the village, with the Seabreeze Tavern and the citizen baths on the west side and the Flowering Sands Inn to the east just past the market. Further east on the coast just off the beach is the Tower of the Blue Abyss a temple of the old Sea God, Caspian, now under the care of His son, Neraeos the new God of the Sea.

- Constantine the jeweller
- Carmina, the diver’s wife
- Jalin, a young man

Other villagers include the numerous young children, women and also a pearl diver. A drunken vagrant who hides behind the tavern and a travelling minstrel also reside in this village.
Culture
The village of Tasur’ke is a peaceful, friendly community under the leadership of elders. The only threat other than the sharks in the water are the adventurers. Their biggest form of commerce comes from sale of wood and cloth commodities as well as their unique pearl jewellery.
Shops
There are many shops in Tasur’ke, one of interest is the Allira’s crystal shop where she supplies crystals to rogue mages for a price. Adventurers may also purchase jewellery from the Praetoria Pelagium and wood and cloth commodities from the centre of Thalassa market. Visitors might also have a go at creating their own fruit candies in Allea’s candy shop or purchase fishing equipment from Lexil’s bait shop.
Notable locations
Tasur’ke is home to the famed Garden of Whispers as well as the Grotto of Song
Flora and Fauna
The seaside location of Tasur’ke ensures a steady growth of kelp and a healthy supply of oysters. Aggressive sharks are also native to the coast of the village and are known to feed on the many novices and magi who go pearling in the waters. A number of cats have taken up residence in the village and dragonflies are also a common sight. The Garden of Whispers and the neighbouring Gardens of Moonlight and the Sacred Sea provide a break from the sandy sights to provide a mystical vision of greenery and flowers.
