The name Tayledras has its origins in the Kaled'a'in word Taylesederas, which means 'Brothers of the Hawks.' This is a reference to the bondbirds the Clans bred with the use of magic. They also bred the battlesteed lines, which the Shin'a'in Clans maintain. The Tayledras are strongly analogous to the native peoples of the more wooded Eastern United States, such as the Mohawks.
