Talon's Banking and Transport

The goal of the Talons was to establish a trade route system to the various Dwarven cities and outposts. The Talons' first trading post location was the Talon Mine, that would later become the settlement of Chazu. They set up an airship docking station at Zuri's Orphanage, where Grandmistress Allie Fizzpebble's wizard tower is also located. Chaim Rokkeshod of the Talons spent many weeks setting up the Talon Mine to be profitable for his new home, the Kingdom of Rhineforrel. With the help of his friends in the Talons adventuring party, they set up the first trade connection between the Talon Mine and the Isle of Orvanos. This allowed trade of mineral ores and other resources gathered from the Rolling Hills of Roma to be converted into magical items in Nephele "Flurry"'s magic shop. She would then send the processed magical items back to the Talon Mine. The goods then get transported to the busy trade markets of Aceitunas.   After acquiring capital and additional airships from the astral plane, the Talons also saw a need to set up trading outposts and air docking stations. The first locations were the city of Rhineforrel and the city of Ginkahm. After the new outposts began construction, Chaim gave the reins to Flurry to manage. While he returned to rule the Kingdom of Rhineforrel. Chaim Rokkeshod often travels between the Dwarven settlements to check on progress from time to time. Flurry also recruited her adventuring comrade Obsidian Bristle to be the captain of the first airship the Talons brought to the material plane and the Continent of Renstrom.

Structure

Chaim was the original founder. He gave this over to Flurry to focus more on running a kingdom. All proceeds and revenues head back into the Talons organization. This is done so the Talons can provide aid and assistance to the many allies they made on their adventures.

Public Agenda

The main goal of the Talon Banking and Transport is to establish trading between the many assets and allies the Talons acquired while adventuring. This was also a way to provide emergency aid to other locations if called upon.   They plan to expand their banking and transportation operation into the Goddess's Savanna and set up an air docking port outside the port village of Pale Water.   They also plan to expand into the Sub Kingdom of Romation below Mount Roma. They want to set up an airdock at the location of The Cat's Lodge as it is the closest location to the main entrance to Romation. However, even though Dinod Ironfistwould love to have this trade connection. However, the rest of the Council of Mt Roma is hesitant and trade restrictions on the Talons currently.

Assets

They own three airships that they have acquired from the astral plane. These new ships came with a price. Their comrade Eldon Scheppen fell off one of the airships when traveling the astral plane and fell into one of the many portals to the unknown.  

Air Ships

Slithering Leaf
It's sleek and fast. Finds air currents to aid in flight easily. Operates in a brusque professional way when the sails are hoisted by the airship crew. However, when the airship crew is on vacation, everything gets messed up. Everyone's somewhat focused on finding weird objects like Captain Bristle. It's why they work so well together.   Bristle works hand in hand with all the Gith crew, and even started to teach them the common language. The Gith had a wealth of knowledge during the last two expeditions to the astral plane. She also helped transport the mind flayer kills. The very ones that the Gith warriors needed to bring back to show they are worthy to return back to the astral plane.   The Surge of Harmony
It has a similar design to the Slithering Leaf. This ship is Captained by Flurry. The crew is running this ship whenever she stays at Ovranos to work at her magic shop. This ship is also very tidy due to Flurry's vain personality.   Scheppen's Legacy
This ship was to be Captained by Eldon Scheppen. His replacement is the temporary Captain is Siberian of Daarden. However, Siberian doesn't helm the ship as often as he should. Siberian is spending most of his time with Daise in Bay Shore researching how to bring Eldon home. Due to the lack of leadership. This airship is always late and has to be visited frequently by Bristle or Flurry.
