Tarahiri Culture

Tarahir was a good sized city, filled with all the hustle and bustle that is implied. It was a center of commerce for many different peoples and thus became a melting pot of traditions and cultures. The Tarahiri people retain some of their pride, and their mercantile spirit. They remain cosmopolitan. They remain tolerant (if grudgingly) of other races and religions. Now, the people of Tarahir are resigned to the loss of their city. Infinitely adaptable, they are already planning to make the ruined magician’s city a place to rival Tarahir at its height.
