Talonite Wars? (Pointers for reading up on lore)

[bharring]

Can anyone suggest where to look for details on the Talonite wars?

Someone mentioned it in another thread, but searching for it sends me down a rabbit hole of unhelpful threads.

I'm playing a Talasian, but he likely needs to avoid details of those wars for character development reasons.

(He thinks Talos is an important part of Balance, and against the unnatural. Exposure to Talos using or supporting undead, like the war and the Dragon Cult, would bring him to a crossroads he's not ready for.

Hilariously, hes been doing "Talos's will" by bringing destruction to the undead of the Fields of the Dead, but it seems there are hints that those undead belong to Talos...)

The year before has some hints of trouble brewing (umberlee crisis), while the year after has some revalatory bits of its long term impact.

There's also a somewhat hidden forum detailing player collaboration. Am on phone tho so cant compare how much of it is copiee over to the campaign thread.

Talonite = Talona
Talosian = Talos

The link that Hoihe shared is one resource. Another would be the 1351 DR entry here in the server lore timeline:

Thanks all! This is really helpful!

(Although how "Blight" didn't remind me that it's taloNA not taloS, I'll never know.)

A particularly relevant part for OP

- A particularly dangerous and violent lich, rumored to be of Netherese descent and involved also in certain Talassian circles, has made itself known on the Coast again. He is known for his powerful illusions and deadly storms, tearing rifts to other planes. Of course such telltale signs make tracking him easier. Other rumors of sightings indicate another being, a spirit of some sort, fighting him when he appears. Whether these sightings are the last remains to be known.[\quote]

OOoh! Great find!

Do you think a DM might let him play into my character's story (in the future, he's not ready for it yet)? A foil who finally shows Ceirinohr what Talos truly is?

Not upto me to say. If my memory is correct, I think DMOgorgon was the one who ran that plot, and he retired - but maybe Boo or Dialectic remember enough context to help.

I recommend sending in a player request to the DM Team for what you're looking for here! It's difficult to best answer in this thread without further DM Team discussion.

[bharring]

Thanks, when the time comes, I probably will.

How/where do you submit such a request? On the forums or in game?

[bharring]

... I should really look around more before asking.

There's a 'guidelines' thread about it up top.
