Taliesin

Taliesin

Taliesin is the largest city found in Eastgard. A seaside city in that allows transportation from Eastgard to the other regions of the Empire. This city was the 1st to be rescued by Artorius during his quest to purge the demon threat. Velvet Crowe visited this portside town to reach her hometown where a major earthpusle point could be found.

Taliesin is a large town with a port that is built along the side of a cliff. Unlike other towns across the world, Taliesin has not faced massive demon threats and thus is rarely visited by the abbey.

During their quest to find the 7 therions, Velvet and crew traveled to Taliesin to reach the Aball earthpulse point found within the region of Eastgand. Unfortunately, Melchior laid a trap in the seas just outside the town entrapping Velvet in a dream-like state where the townsfolk claim Aball survived the years since the advent. However, this is all a ruse to devastate Velvet and foster despair to feed Innominat's resurrection. After freeing the 6th therion from Aball, the town returns to normal. It is unknown whether the townsfolk became demons as a result of the therions release but is believed to have survived through the remainder of the game.

Beyond Taliesin lies the Morgana woods which is the only path to reach Aball and consequentially the earthpulse point beyond. It is revealed by Velvet that in order to leave Eastgand, you must take a ship from this city suggesting this is the only port in all of Eastgand. Since Aball is destroyed, this very well may be the only settlement left in this region making it easier for the abbey to control the demon threat and thus explaining the decline of exorcist activity in this region. This is also one of the cities where Magilou attempts her comedy acts with the other characters in this city it's Eleanor.

Trivia:

Taliesin, when Velvet is dreaming, claims her famous quiche is being sold in their stores however this is a clue to the ruse as Velvet never had the chance to reveal the recipe to anyone in her village before the Advent destroyed Aball.
