Thaalim Torchtower

Thaalim Torchtower was a bandit leader, warlord, and self-stylized King of the Tun Marshes.

History
In Marpenoth of 1357 DR he rises to power as a bandit leader in the Tunlands. Rumors spread that he has spies in all the settlements of Cormyr, but that is only true for the town of Eagle Peak. He steals an egg from the black dragon Skurge, putting it in temporal stasis with a scroll. This allows him to form an uneasy truce with the dragon so long as her egg remains within his fortress.

In Tarsakh of 1367 DR, Cormyrian forces from High Horn raid the Tunlands in response to the machinations of the Zhentarim who had invaded from Darkhold. The warlord vows revenge against Azoun IV for the death of his son.
