The Taseti Coast (pronounced tah-SEH-tee) is part of the eastern coastline of the Chaska Sea. Many cities and communities thrive along the Taseti Coast, some of which have been occupied since ancient times.
Inhabitants
The largest cities along the Taseti Coast are Yurza and Aradet, two of the oldest continually occupied settlements in the world. They are joined by numerous smaller towns, especially concentrated in the less arid parts of the coast near Tirione.
Historically the region has been contested between Tirione and Khapesh, in the past often militarily but now through economic spheres of influence.
Geography
The Taseti Coast lies on the western edge of the Taizzan Expanse. Though more temperate than the Expanse as a whole, the much of the region is still rather arid. Warm weather is typical year-round.
Trees and other plants that are well adapted to dry conditions are common along the Taseti Coast. Once far more prevalent, the many of the northern cedar forests of the coast have been felled to fuel Tirionite growth.
The Tela River begins in the Kurzag Mountains before flowing out to the Chaska Sea along the Taseti Coast.
The Lakes of False Promises are two low-lying lakes on the roughly one hundred miles inland from the coastline. The lakes are laden with salt, and most living creatures can float on the surface of the waters with no effort. The lakes are fed only by occasional rainfall, and are frequently at very low water levels.
