Talawillona (? PC - ?) was a male Wemitowuk Chieftain. He had handsome features and long black hair.

Early Life

Talawillona became chief after his father in the time when the Wemitowuk were savage and hunted Silver Dragons. He proposed to his tribe that the dragons were not meant to be hunted but to be respected. The elders of the tribe rejected this notion and when Talawillona pressed the issue he was expelled from his tribe.

Dark Pact

In 642 PC after trying to appeal to the Gods of Good and hearing nothing, Talawillona turned to the Gods of Evil. Chemosh answered his prayers. In return for access to the Wemitowuk Burial Ground, Chemosh promised that the Wemitowuk would not go near the silver dragons. Talawillona broke the circle of stones that surrounded the site and Chemosh took a few souls. To keep his part of the deal, Chemosh infected the dragons with a magical disease.

Talawillona tried again to appeal to the gods of good for help. Mishakal answered and neutralized the disease of the dragons and wiped clean their memory of the event. As punishment Talawillona was sent to the Garden of the Dead. Oddly enough over the many years as the Wemitowuk changed their ways, his people considered Talawillona a hero for saving the dragons.

Garden of the Dead

At the garden, Talawillona was not changed into an Undead as others that had been condemned there had been. He was granted some sort of immortality where he did not age. Talawillona was ordered to play a drum until the end of time.
