A map of the quarter of Marienburg called Elftown.
Clan Tallaindeloth is one of the four most important Sea Elf clans of Elftown, the Elf quarter of the city-state of Marienburg.[1a]
Headed by Lady Angaliel Tallaindeloth, called "the Impulsive," this clan is known as a doiricshathir, a "curious clan" in Elthariel. Strong individualists in a race already considered eccentric by most Men, Clan Tallaindeloth has produced some of the most noted Sea Elf explorers of the past several centuries. Driven by an insatiable urge to go further, their ships will sail anywhere at any time, seemingly at random.[1a]
Trade is often a secondary motive for the Tallaindeloth: they will divert from their course at the drop of a hat to explore new coasts or to simply check the accuracy of old charts. They have even tried to map the warped coasts of the northern Chaos Wastes. Since their travels have frequently taken them to areas filled with unknown dangers, Clan Tallaindeloth boasts the largest number of wizards in all of Elftown's clans. The maritime magical skills of the clan's wizards are of such repute that several have lectured at Baron Henryk's College of Navigation and Sea Magicks.[1a][1b]
