Talon Circle

Talon Circle, on the north side of the city in the Welling neighborhood, is home to the Talon Club, a favored establishment for Maradaine’s wealthy elite and politically powerful. But it is also the home to a stern reminder of darker times: the empty plinth in the center of the fountain in the middle of the plaza. In the eleventh century, when King Maradaine X was overthrown by the figure simply called “The Black Mage”, the statue in the plaza was destroyed and the king’s body was placed on the plinth for all to see. When the Black Mage was routed and the Maradaine line restored to the throne, the plinth was kept empty to honor the murdered king.
