The House of Tayke is the first of four "lost" Houses which were lost before the time of the Chosen to the Black Wizard Shaniko. The House of Tayke was founded by Jadae Tayke, a firm fighter and was often called "The Dragon" in battle. In her original culture dragons denoted wisdom. She was the only female Leader of the original 16 Houses.
The coat of arms of Tayke are a dragon with a sword behind it on a white field. The House colors are light blue and white.
Tayke is 68 days from Bloodhelm to the north east, and on the east side of the Tsalagi Mountains.
The population of Tayke before its down fall was 170,000 people, mostly humans. Tayke worships Sarjon, Pezuta, Targon, Iktomi, Somniare, and Shade. Tayke imports metals, horses, cotton, some livestock, dwarven and elven goods, fish oil, and ore. Tehy export foodstuff, silk, spices, fine weapons, books, art, and jewelry and most importantly light stones. (Later on other mages perfected the ability to make light stones.) This settlement of oriental like people was the original home place of Jadae Tayke, the only female of the Company of the Dragon. She was a skilled fighter and a firm woman. She married a scholar of her own nationality and had twelve children who lived. Her eldest daughter is Leader and priming her eldest daughter to lead after her. (Until Tayke is destroyed most of the Leaders of Tayke were women). The people here are very lawful and peaceful. Silk is the primary trade commodity, but so are books of knowledge. (This is one of the reasons Shaniko took Tayke out of commission.)
The alignments for Tayke are commonly Lawful Good, Neutral, and Lawful Evil.
The noble Houses of Tayke number 12: Draconos, Mus, Bos, Tigris, Cuniculus, Serpens, Equites, Bides, Simia, Pullus, Canis, and Sus.
In the time of the High King's Sword there is no House Tayke. There are probably long distant heirs to the House, but neither it nor its noble Houses are in exsisted.
Tomorrow: Landshire, the Lost House
