V'Shrang was ruled by a female Ollm (Ts. "Mother") and administered by a male O'lan (Ts. "Counsel"). The O'lan was usually the Ollm's, uncle, brother, or son. He served as the warlord of a fierce, martial society. Ts'dan shipwrights were famous for their T'illa (Ts. "Water-travelers"), the great warships that once dominated the west-central Romenëar. T'illa-borne raiders conquered Ka'ish in S.A. 323-48. These invaders reflected V'Shrang 's traditional military triad, and included the Ra'thorfa, the G'ekka, and the Ts'balla.
