History
House Talmost first came to prominence during the reign of the Kingdom of Man.

Talmost Lands

Like Harpshield, the small kingdom of Talmost was one of the successor states to Delimbiyran. Located along the northeastern verges of Ardeep Forest, Talmost was also abandoned to drow raiders in the Year of the Circling Vulture (942 DR). Unlike Harpshield, however, the Talmost lands have remained in the hands of the royal house’s descendants, who are now members of the Waterdhavian nobility. The Talmost clan maintains several small hunting lodges in the territory,and crofters in the house’s employ watch over scattered flocks of sheep and shaggun (cattle).

Talmost Keep

The royal seat of fallen Talmost, never reclaimed by the descendants of House Talmost, now lies in ruins. Today it is home only to the ghosts of those tortured to death by the drow.

House Talmost

House Talmost, one of Waterdeep’s leading clothiers and furriers, manages extensive trapping and fur-trading operations in the North and lucrative silk operations in Calimshan. Its members are closely associated with the League of Skinners & Tanners and the Solemn Order of Recognized Furriers & Woolmen. History: House Talmost traces its history back to the Kingdom of Man. First ennobled by King Javilarh II of Delimibiyran for service in the waning days of Phalorm, members of this family once ruled the Barony of Talmost on the southeastern edge of Ardeep Forest. After the fall of Delimibiyran, Baron Delsinger Talmost declared himself King of Talmost, joining the ranks of numerous petty nobles who claimed sovereignty over their own holdings. The family ruled its small kingdom for nearly three centuries, until unrelenting drow raids in the Year of the Circling Vulture (942DR) forced both rulers and subjects to abandon Talmost for the relative safety of Waterdeep. There, House Talmost quickly joined the merchant nobility, becoming in time one of the older and more powerful families of the city.
