Taspia was the name for the heptarchy that ruled over the island(s) of Shuul in early fifth era. Its name literally translated to "The Seven", referring to the seven kingdoms that the land was divided into, and the seven kings that ruled over it.
The heptarchy fell when one of the seven kings, Gordiern and his advisor Myrdin, successfully executed a plot to topple the six other kingdoms and conquer their lands. In its time, however, the kingdoms coexisted rather peacefully, and humanity flourished under the protection of their kings and with the wealth of resources the island offered.
