Talon Silverwing

Talon Silverwing, NPC
Talon Silverwing is an Angchu Tengu who hails from Aerie. During the Tengu Wars, he was bested by Headmaster Zhan, who was a general at that time.

Dialogue

In Sunqua Vale, if your character is not of Factions (the only other instructors which make a campaign distinction are Professor Gai and Sister Tai):
 * "I am afraid I cannot help you. You are not a student here. And do not bother trying to become one... the honor is reserved for Canthans."

When spoken to in the Divine Path:
 * "Your name will live forever in the songs of the Tengu."

 * "Together we will stand against these twisted creatures, we must prevail. What did you need from me?"

In Kaineng City:

Eye of the North

 * ''"I cannot bear these underground passages, so dank and stale. The wind does not move. How can anything that lives down here be cilivized?"

In the Charr Homelands:

 * "Hail, friend. Do you need assistance? My sword is faster than the zephyr wind of my people. I am here to help."

Factions
While idle on Shing Jea Island:
 * "During the war I killed many Canthan warriors, and saw many of my own people cut down. That was all on the field of battle but this plague is something entirely different. Whoever is responsible must be made to pay for their crimes."
 * "I hope that Aerie is safe."

Idle in Kaineng City:
 * "I despise wasted opportunity. We should get going."
 * "I miss the lush green lands of Shing Jea Island."
 * "We attract attention standing around here so long."

Idle in the Jade Sea:
 * "Shiro threatens the lives of all Canthans. He must be stopped."
 * "The only way to stop Shiro is to sow more destruction. How ironic."
 * "Why do you stare, human? Have you not seen a Tengu before?"
