Talons of Veylan
Talons of Veylan
An order within the Emerald Enclave dedicated to hunting and destroying evil chromatic dragons, following the legacy of the legendary dragon slayer Veylan Duskbane.
Overview
The Talons of Veylan is an order within the Emerald Enclave founded by the ancient dragon hunter Veylan Duskbane. Members of this order believe that all evil chromatic dragons are abominations that disrupt the natural balance and must be destroyed. They follow in Veylan's footsteps, dedicating themselves to hunting wyrms. The Emerald Enclave has a ranking system: Talon Initiate is the 2nd level rank. Like other Enclave orders, members are not selected but rather find their true order naturally when the path resonates with them. When asked what his order calls themselves, Veylan jokingly suggested 'The Branch Managers,' though Keyleth disagreed with the name.
Notable Members
- Veylan Duskbane – Founder of the order (deceased, spirit form)
- Sylwen Moondrift – High-ranking member who has hunted the Ashen Covenant for 50 years
- Keyleth – Talon Initiate (2nd rank), inducted by Veylan's spirit in Session 38
Campaign Involvement
Keyleth's pixie swarm heard the call of Veylan Duskbane's spirit, leading the party to his tomb. This indicated that Keyleth was a natural fit for the Talons of Veylan. After helping slay Vaartox the Red, Veylan bestowed upon Keyleth the rank of Talon Initiate and taught her the secrets of damage resistance through her dragon hunt.
