Once known as Gaash Khe, the small colony here collapsed during the Long Night and barely managed to retain a sustainable population. Being fairly self-sufficient and isolationist aided their survival. They retained awareness of Sidur Ishki, with whom they once traded (the modern name of Taalish is Sidurii in origin).

They were eventually incorporated into the Third Imperium.
