Tirgoviste was the capital of Wallachia.
Princes of Wallachia who lived in Tirgoviste included Vlad III, his father Vlad the Great, and his brother Radu the Handsome. (AUDIO: Son of the Dragon [+]Steve Lyons, Main Range (Big Finish Productions, 2007).)
Vlad III created the "Forest of the Impaled" with the corpses of 23,000 Turks outside the city in 1461. This created a connection with Mictlan, initiating the first contact between Earth and one of the War Era powers.
