Elven writings dating back to the Crown Wars mention a dark-haired,
fair-skinned human tribe in the heart of the great forest
of Shantel Othreier. The Talfir were the original human inhabitants
of the Chionthar river valley in the Western Heartlands.
Speakers of Talfiric, a long-lost human tongue based on the Draconic
alphabet, the Talfir gradually disappeared over a thousand
years ago, their culture overwhelmed by refugees from [[Low
Netheril]], Calishite settlers from the south, and Chondathan settlers
from the Dragon Coast. Several deities of the Faerûnian
pantheon are believed to have first been worshiped by the Talfir,
including Tempus, who vanquished the Netherese god of war.
The Talfir left little in the way of ruins or artifacts, although
Irieabor lies atop the ancient crypt of the Talfir monarch known
as Verraketh the Shadowking, who mastered shadow magic. Talis,
a ruined city of the Talfir, lies in ruins along the banks of the
River Reaching in the depths of the Reaching Woods.
