+ | Thaylen City serves as the center of Thaylen commerce and politics. The reigning monarch resides there, and the various merchant councils, as well as the Thaylen navy, have their headquarters there. The city's vast port holds numerous trading and naval vessels. Moreover, the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]] holds vast majority of the country's wealth, allowing for long-distance trade via [[spanreed]]s.{{book ref|sa3|58}}{{book ref|sa3|111}} |

+ | Nonetheless, Thaylen City remains important. It's one of the few cities with [[Oathgate]]s controlled by the people opposed to [[Odium]], giving it an instant access to [[Urithiru]] and allowing the alliance to project power in the South of Roshar. Moreover, the city's location makes holding it crucial to any strategy in the region. Whoever controls Thaylen City controls the [[Southern Depths]], and can threaten the entire coast, from [[New Natanan]] all the way to [[Shinovar]]. As such, it is most important that the alliance keep it, which was the main impetus for the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|107}} |
