Talantra Bowgentle Talantra Bowgentle was a bard based in Silverymoon and an active Harper . Description . Talantra stood 5 ft 6 in ( 168 cm ) , weighed 122 lb ( 55 kg ) , and had auburn hair and green eyes . Personality . Talantra had a reputation of being a " dangerous lady " and it was wise not to trifle with her . She often wandered alone but once she discovered the Harpers she was often found in their company . She had no qualms about stealing from evil people and she championed any female , druid , ranger , or even outnumbered adventuring parties who were battling orc s , brigands , or evil creatures . Abilities . She was proficient in the use of the longsword , dagger , dart s , and club . She could swim , was skilled with a rope , could determine direction easily , and even fight in limited visibility situations . As a bard , she was also a superb singer . Possessions . Talantra wore a " ring of protection + 2 " , a " ring of regeneration " , a " cloak " and " boots of elvenkind " , and had one jar of " Keoghtom ' s ointment " . She kept a few bloodstone s in hollow heels attached to her boots . Activities . After joining the Harpers , she patrolled the North both alone and with other Harpers , assisting those in need and combating evil . Relationships . Talantra earned the undying hatred of Shairn Delarna , a vizier of Calimshan , when she impersonated her and stole her jewelry , but Talantra managed to intimidate the evil vizier into leaving her alone . Talantra ran with the Knights of Myth Drannor for a short time and developed a crush on Florin Falconhand ( before he was married to Dove ) . She also had a brief relationship with Randal Morn . The famous Harper Sharanralee escorted Talantra to Silverymoon and helped recruit her to join the Harpers . Talantra Bowgentle was no relation to the renowned wizard Bowgentle . History . Talantra was an orphan in Calimshan but not of Calishite descent , so she was considered a " barbarian " . Her strength got her a job as a mercenary guarding harems , but she soon developed other talents , like singing and thieving . Her jewel heists got increasingly bold , and her crowning achievement was stealing a spidersilk gown studded with emerald s and a gold stomacher from vizier Shairn Delarna by tying her up , taking her clothing , and impersonating her . Furious , Delarna sent assassin after assassin to exact her revenge on Talantra , but none ever came back . After months of frustration , Delarna awoke one morning to find eleven severed heads in her bed , each one belonging to an assassin she had hired , and each had the same message stuffed into their mouth , warning that Delarna ' s head might be next . Shairn Delarna wisely gave up trying to kill Talantra , at least through hiring assassins . After the price on her head was removed , Talantra disappeared from Calimshan and many believed that one of the vizier ' s murderers or a thieving rival had finally succeeded in engineering her death . However , Talantra had settled in Tilverton and taken a job waiting tables while she figured out what to do with her life . She met many travelers and traders who passed through town and eventually met the Knights of Myth Drannor adventuring company . She fell in with them for a while and discovered a love of wandering the deep forests and shaded glens of the North , seeking adventure wherever it may be . Her infatuation with Florin Falconhand was partially responsible for her new - found wanderlust . After leaving the Knights of Myth Drannor , she came upon Daggerdale and Randal Morn beset by heavily armed orcs sent from Zhentil Keep . Talantra lent her sword arm to the cause and helped repel the attack . Strong feelings developed between Talantra and Randal , but after a time he sent her away for her own safety , escorted by the Harper warrior Sharanralee who passed through town on the way to Silverymoon . In Silverymoon , Talantra made many new friends , rekindled her love of song , resumed her interrupted bardic career , and formally joined the Harpers . Thereafter , she wandered throughout the North , both alone and with her Harper friends , helping those in need .
