Talabheim, known in ancient times as Taalheim or the Eye of the Forest, is the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Talabecland. Talabheim lies deep within the Great Forest of the Empire of Man, and as such earned its name as the Eye of the Forest, like the eye of a mighty storm, all is calm amidst the surronding danger. The city itself is build within a huge shall crater, many miles across, whose outer edge formed a large rocky rim and a natural wall. This wall has been built up and fortified with many tall gun towers and effectively marks the boundary of the city itself. The land inside is extensive and includes fertile farmlands as well as the grand city itself. The River Talabec flows around the outside of the crater, and where it flows past the southern edge of the wall, there is a fortified Imperial bastion known as Talagraad and a deep harbor from which lies the river fleets.[1a]
From the fortress of Talagraad, a narrow road climbs the ridge of the crater and enters the city via a tunnel carved through the rock of the ruined wall. This tunnel is the only entrance to the city, and a massive, fortified gatweay at each end of the passage makes Talabheim one of the strongest and most fortified city within the Empire, perhaps second-only to the great fortress-city of Middenheim itself. However, this proteciton is bought at a high cost, for the city's civilian populace lives in grim poverty to support Talabheim's demanding military and an unforgiving martial law is in force at all times. Despite this, Talabheim as served as the greatest bastion of light within the dark forest of the Empire.[1a]
