Unlike Tal'Rah that has distinct areas of control, all of Zoda's cities are freeholds controlled by Northlanders that can trace their descendants to the first settlers from Shalzaar...

The mighty trading city of Tashran is primary a city populated by what is popularly referred to as ‘The People of the South' despite the fact that Tashran itself is a mid-eastern city, though a few Elves and more than a few Shar'Vaire call Tashran their home. Tashran is a lively city that often has dancing in the streets, song in the air and a knife in the back for those who are loose with their tongues or careless with their gold.
Tashran is a city of duality; while on the surface it seems very affluent and welcoming, below this veneer exists a corrupt government which is bought and paid for by the city's Thieves' Guild, known as the Hazjid. The Hazjid is an accepted part of Tashran, with generations of families raised within its ranks. Local businesses pay their protection due to the Hazjid and in turn they ensure nobody steals their profits or harms their employees or their families. Those businesses that operate outside their protection are few and often short lived, due to ‘accidents'.
Tashran is known for their horses, their coffee and their legendary Firewater that has been known to bring even the most stout and experienced drinker into a stumbling stupor. Tashran also hosts many of the land-based trade caravans on Tal'rah and often surrounding the city itself, can be seen thousands of tent-camps from caravan travelers.
