The third and final temple-fortress that guards passage into Adar directly from Riedra, Tashalatora is home to monks renowned even in Khorvaire. A few Khorvairians even seek this monastery as a place to perfect their training. Tashalatora's fighters are among the most powerful in Adar, blending psionic or magical skill with fighting prowess in unorthodox ways.
Venerable Thatari (LG female kalashtar telepath 18) is an aged psionic preceptor associated with the elders of Tashalatora, to whom she usually speaks by using her powers. She is one of the few psions in Adar who can manifest psychic chirurgy (EPH 126) and reality revision (EPH 128), and thus she might be the only one who can save a PC from a mind seed (EPH 119) or similar nastiness. Unfortunately for seekers who want to speak with her, Thatari lives in the mountains many miles from Tashalatora, alone within a cave carved into a cliff face. Getting to her requires finding out where she is and traversing treacherous terrain inhabited by unfriendly creatures. What she might ask of those seeking her aid is unknown, but such a request will surely have little to do with wealth.
Tashalatora breeds strong fighters because many within the fortress and in Adar fear the Riedrans will one day cross into the land of refuge by way of Vulpana Falls, which the citadel overlooks. For the hundreds of miles between Tashalatora and the Haztaratain Monastery no other land is passable. Still, an army would have to pass through or around the Shanjueed Jungle and its Mabar manifest zone, climb all the way up the hills and mountains to the falls, and then cross the falls. Furthermore, the Inspired have few significant settlements nearby to support such an undertaking. As a result, the Riedrans have yet to try the passage.
