Location on the map.

Taodal is the only settlement in Sejan. It is a small, peaceful village located at the southern tip of the peninsula that sees traffic mostly only in the form of passing travellers headed towards the Muds. Its de facto leader is the village's blacksmith, Tornoth, who laid the foundation of the village and has personally built most of the houses in it.

Taodal is a relatively new town. Tornoth started building it after arriving in the peninsula with Shyni when she was just a little baby. In contrast, when the player visits the village, she is already a young adult. His smithy and the village's communal sauna are the oldest buildings in there, followed by the pier. Building the pier was an important step in the development of the settlement, as it caused passing ships to notice the fledgling village and start docking and trading with it. From there on, the expansion has been fairly quick. A giant shell was used to build a tavern inside of it, and alongside a small but lively market, they both attract travelers and traders to facilitate further growth of the village.
