Isle of Thāl

The Thāl is an island slightly smaller than the Isle of Thrig, located just off the coast of Amurón in the Western Sea.

Thāl was inhabitated long before the Machoric migration that brought Moroyan people to the island. Now the capital of Amurón, the city of Burthāl, is set on the eastern coast, facing the mouth of river Ajat. Several old ruins of stone buildings dot the island between younger settlements as a token of an earlier civilisation.

The island is prosperous, finding itself on the Road of Tea. Pearls and corals are caught in the shallow and warm waters around the island, which is the main source of the islanders' riches.

The Tower of Hafīl, located not far from Burthāl, is the local centre of religion and an attraction for pilgrims of the Moroyan faith from all over the Jūnan an-Murān.

In Mythology
An old Moroyan legends speaks about a giant being exiled from his home in the Grey Mountains, who wandered West towards the setting sun along river Ajat, and later pulled some rocks and dirt from the bottom of the Sea to make a home for himself.

Ghanat killed the Black Bull on Thāl.
