Grand Mairshar

The Grand Mairshar was the ruler Tasseldale within the Dalelands both before, and during their occupation by Sembia. They possessed extensive power within the dale, as well as the crucial responsibility to maintain its defense, uphold its law and discuss matters with foreign powers.

A council known as the Tassel Elders, comprised of a representative from each of the dale's 12 tassels, consulted with the Grand Mairshar before major action. Their consent was required before enacting new laws, rallying the dale's militia forces or military actions outside their borders.

In addition to the vast militia force that was maintained within Tasseldale, the Grand Mairshar commanded the Mairshars. This group of mounted warriors defended the dale as soldiers, and maintained justice as a constabulary granted with the powers of arrest and sentencing. Although it seldom occurred, their decisions could be appealed to the Grand Mairshar.
