Originally a power-hungry adventuring group, Black Talon gained fame by warning Waterdeep of a supposed rising cult to Tiamat among the kobold tribes underground. With the help of paladins from the Order of the Golden Lion and a small city army, they destroyed this threat. However, rumors persist that the kobolds were not truly worshipping Tiamat.
Later, the group was recruited by the Margaster Family as their elite force. Over the years, they were used to eliminate the family’s enemies and to secretly maintain the illusion of Sir Egan’s invulnerability—for example, by slaying a dragon before his arrival.
In 1486 DR, Black Talon attacked the tavern where the Seekers were staying, aiming to eliminate them as a threat to the Margasters. The attack failed, and the mercenary group was destroyed.
Members included:
- Bjorn Margaster
- Ravus
- Unknown Storm Barbarian
- Unknown Blade Dancer
- Unknown Divine Archer (secretly ordered by the Margasters to kill Bjorn Margaster if their assassination attempt on Willow failed, thus fulfilling the necessary sacrifices regardless)
