Origin Human

Talon is a +1 longsword held in a silver-chased scabbard; the sword is currently in the posession of the Palorian Paladin, Gallan Aura. Its hilt is worked to resemble the silver talons of a bird of prey, hence its name.

The blade once belonged to a great knight named Aldith Tresendar, known as the Black Hawk. Sir Aldith died fighting off the orcs that attacked Phandalin and ransacked his family’s estate by storming the underground tunnels leading into the Tresendar manor cellars.

If it is the only weapon you wield, Talon also imparts a +1 bonus to its wielders AC against all weapon attacks made by orcs.
