== History ==
Like most dwarves, Tallin was born at Mount Velik. After his magical gifts were discovered, he was taken to Aonach Tower to train and did very well there. Later, he was paired with the dragon Duskeye, and the two quickly became inseparable.
After the Dragon Wars began, Tallin and Duskeye fled to the Death Sands. During the war, they were captured by the empire. Emperor Vosper tortured them mercilessly and took great pleasure in doing all that he could to break Tallin. Over time however, Vosper let his guard down and grew lazy with security, which allowed Tallin to free Duskeye, reclaim his dragon stone, and escape. The pair then managed to stay hidden in the Death Sands for many years until they were finally discovered by Sela and Brinsop. Sela and Brinsop invited them to Parthos where they swore to defend the city which was then ruled by King Mitca .
