	~~As former~~ High Mage of [[Silverymoon]], ~~Taern brings significant magical expertise to~~ the ~~council~~. ~~While described as~~ "~~pretentious,~~" his ~~magical knowledge~~ and ~~the power [[Silverymoon]]'s mages can bring to the fight make him a valuable ally~~.		Taern "Thunderspells" Hornblade is a renowned archmage who formerly held the position of High Mage of Silverymoon, one of the most magically sophisticated cities in Faerûn. His epithet "Thunderspells" speaks to his specialty in evocation magic and his preference for devastating combat spells.

	~~=== Role in Campaign ===~~		As a representative of Silverymoon and the mages of the Silver Marches, Taern brings considerable magical expertise to the council. While [[Leosin Erlanthar]] noted that Taern can be "pretentious," there is no denying that "the mages can bring great power to the fight" against the dragon cult.
	At the ~~Council~~ of [[~~Waterdeep~~]] ~~in [[Session 43 - The~~ Council of Waterdeep~~\|Session 43~~]], Taern was particularly troubled ~~when Deez Nuts revealed~~ that [[~~Rath Modar~~]] ~~and [[Rezmir]] had both been resurrected.

			During the Council of Waterdeep meeting where [[Deez Nuts]] presented their findings, Taern was particularly troubled by the revelation that the [[Red Wizards of Thay]] were involved in the cult's efforts to bring [[Tiamat]] back from her prison in [[Avernus]]. The party's report about [[Rath Modar]] and [[Rezmir]] both being resurrected raised serious concerns about the scope of the cult's magical capabilities and their connections to Thay.

	=== Personality ===		=== Personality ===
	Taern ~~is described as pretentious~~, ~~likely due~~ to ~~his high magical position~~ and ~~accomplishments~~. ~~However~~, ~~his expertise is genuine~~ and ~~valuable~~.		Taern carries himself with the self-assurance and superiority common among powerful archmages. His pretentiousness, while grating to some, stems from genuine knowledge and power. He is a pragmatist who recognizes threats when he sees them, particularly those involving dangerous magic and extraplanar entities.
