Introduction

Ahlan (Welcome)! I am Shaykha (Baroness) Tala al-Zahra. I was originally apprenticed to Mistress Mary “Molly” Isabel of Heatherstone, and I am currently being fostered by Magistra Beatriz Aluares de la Oya.

Persona

Tala is of Amazigh (aka, Berber) descent -- specifically of the Zenata line, which also boast the warrior queen, Kahina, and the Marinid ruling family of Tala's day. Tala lives in the city of Fes, under the Marinid Sultanate (modern-day Morocco), which ruled the area from the 13th-15th centuries CE.
