Rather than [[nahn]]s and [[dahn]]s, the Thaylen utilize their own system of ranks.{{book ref|sa1|8}} The Thaylen monarch, however, still claims the first dahn.{{wob ref|4006}}
 
Thaylenah appears to have little in the way of a land army, but they do have a long-standing naval tradition famous the world over.{{book ref|sa3|8}} Thaylen officers are trained in naval tactics and strategy to a far greater extent than their counterparts elsewhere, and their country boasts a large fleet.{{book ref|sa3|107}} Unfortunately, many of their ships have been stolen by former [[Parshmen]] following the first [[Everstorm]], crippling their capabilities in this regard.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
