An important waystation on the road between Atrissar and the [[Tarébras]], it was besieged and destroyed in the [[Geranian War]], its ruins thereafter marking the border between [[Lécaron]] and the [[Kingdom of Geran]]. It is said to be built atop the [[Crypt of the Nine]] and revered as such in Olgish folklore, drawing considerable numbers of pilgrims both before and after its devastation.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The Olgish word &#039;&#039;Talis&#039;&#039; usually refers to burial mounds, dolmen, or similar, natural rock features dominating the landscape. The name of the city is most often understood as ‘necropolis’, likely a folk-etymology alluding to its mythological significance. The earliest Old Olgish sources name the town &#039;&#039;Tálik&#039;&#039; ‘meeting place’, presumably referring to its role as a market town and early administrative centre for the settlements along the edge of the Arnim-Sowen. The local Atrissan dialect renders this as &#039;&#039;Tálich&#039;&#039;, forming the basis of the Middle Olgish reinterpretation as &#039;&#039;Talis&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> According to legend, the settlement originated as a necropolis for the [[Nine Sons of Nindemmin]] after their defeat at the [[Battle of Arnim Sowen]] B.E.B. 1217, constructed and frequented by those wishing to pay homage to the fallen, according to some accounts even [[Narned]] himself, eventually growing to form a major city.<br /> <br /> The town’s historical origins <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Geography==</div>
