Teyloy

One of seven lagoon city-states on Veile. Teyloy covers a huge crescent of coastline and its lagoon is the largest by far. But its occupied quarters, of which there are only two, claim a small and sullen population that serves as a living reservoir of the old Aurumel funerary arts.

Taylor is thought to be the first and thus oldest city-state of Veile. But over half of the population and much of the city was destroyed in a great flood just after the completion of the first airships. The construction of Gylynos began at this point in Veile's history. The flooded ruins where old Teyloy once stood are a constant reminder of why the perpetuation of one’s life and the favor of spirits is first and foremost in the mind of any true Aurumel.

In addition to the rituals and crafts of the dead, the people of Teyloy are also known for their skills in weaving, calligraphy, the construction of musical and ritual instruments, and — most importantly — the finest masks crafted by living hands.
