Maheto is a highly-defended Taldan city located in the northern foothills of the World's Edge Mountains. This settlement is home to highly-skilled dwarven craftsmen whose blades and other products are in high demand by members of the empire's ruling class.123

As a symbol of their allegiance to Taldor the legendary sword Turlang was forged and given to Grand Prince Arthune. This blade commiserates the slaying of an ancient dragon named Tharularg and is a masterpiece of Dwarven craftsmanship.4
