'''Tasur'ke''' is a small seaside village located northeast of [[Hashan]]. It is best known for its vast quantity of [[oysters]] and a thriving pearl industry. It is governed by Tasur'ke's Elders, but only one makes himself available to talk to adventurers. He can be found standing on the shores dressed in deep blue robes, gazing out at the ocean. His grandson is Tylore, the rascal who plays by the village gates. | |||
==Geography== | |||
Sitting on the northeastern corner of [[Sapience]], Tasur'ke faces the vast [[Eastern Ocean]]. Thalassa Market takes up the largest portion of the village, with the [[the Seabreeze Tavern|Seabreeze Tavern]] and the citizen baths on the west side and the Flowering Sands Inn to the east, just past the market. The [[Temple of the Moon]] is located here on the outskirts of the village. Further east, on the coast just off the beach, is the [[Tower of the Blue Abyss]], a [[temples|temple]] of the old Sea God, [[Caspian (Elder God)|Caspian]]. The tower is now under the care of His son, [[Neraeos]], the new God of the Sea. | |||
During the [[Catarine Dominion]], the town underwent a massive expansion project. | |||

==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 adventurers. Their biggest form of commerce comes from sales of [[wood]] and cloth [[:Category:Commodities|commodities]] and their unique pearl jewellery. | |||
==Shops== | |||
There are many shops in Tasur'ke. One of interest is Allira's crystal shop, where she supplies crystals to [[rogue]] [[Magi]] 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 [[pearls|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. | |||
Contrabandists sometimes smuggle exotic animals to Tasur'ke like kamatlans, fern beasts, and rock hide basilisks. | |||
