"A people descended from the valley Sirast, located in the present day isle of Tas; the tectonic plates have shifted and the Tagerian population split. Tas was a place rich in spice and was a highly valuable port, for it was built upon a strait. 

The mainland Tagerians were bordered by many fiendish tribes, corsairs and marauders - becoming formidable fighters through years of warfare. This also enabled them to impose a strict way of life to their kin; never allow an insult to go unanswered. One ruler could never come to reign over Tagerians, for there was always someone unsatisfied with the way their king treated them, and rebellion would run rampant. 

However, the Tasene people's wealth became too big enough for just an island, so they set their sights on conquering their ethnic relatives. Foreign mercenaries and privateers flocked to get a cut of the resource rich Tagerian mainland, clearing away the tangled mess of paganism, clan feuds, bandits and pirates to pave the road for Tasene aristocrats. After a couple brief outbursts, a normalisation in relations ensued, due to the Tas government sending scholars to the mainland, spreading literacy and knowledge of medicine and trade.
 
The island elite encouraged the cooperation of clan patricians by building them villas, honoring them with spears and bronze axes or armor, and bedslaves. This treatment also applied to the soldiers of fortune and sailors who had aided in the subjugation of the Tager. The foreign cutthroats started families and blended into the populace. Life went on.
