Activities

History
In response to the growing resentment against her for controlling other mages' supply of magic, Talana Brakulaarn organized the first MageFair, within the Shoon Imperium, in. Sixty people attended, most of them journeymen and apprentices. Some of them were agents of the Shoon Imperium looking for dangerous wizards or magic worth seizing, who recommended her that she host the next one in Calimshan or Amn, to help expand her enterprise. She agreed, and made sure to advertise her coming Fair thoroughly. She became the Magister shortly before the next MageFair, hours after the death of the last Magister.

While on a fair, someone slew her in her bed; the assailant was himself slain, and so was his assailant. Ten or eleven mages slaying mages later, the last assailant staggered back to bed; when a second man took notice of his wounds, the attacker polymorphed himself into a lizard man and attacked. A third mage, Eirl Rauthantannar, slew the lizard man and became the next Magister.

Rumors & Legends
There was evidence that Talana's killer pretended to be a mage smitten with her charms.
