Tahlkora

Tahlkora is one of the Heroes available in Guild Wars Nightfall. Her last name is Zarranu and she hails from the merchant province of Vabbi. A headstrong young runaway, Tahlkora joins up with you to become a hero. She has to learn what that truly means.

As revealed in the quest Rally The Princes, Tahlkora is a Princess of Vabbi, the daughter of Prince Mehtu the Wise.

Lore
From the official website and the manual:
 * Idealistic Runaway
 * "I signed on for the heroic songs and the praise. I did not sign on for the blood-sucking bugs."


 * Origin: Vabbi
 * Age: 18
 * Profession: Monk


 * Some adventurers are a little too eager to be heroes. Many have tried to guess which village or city Tahlkora ran away from, but Vabbi's a pretty big place. No doubt her home is far away from the horrors of war and the nightmarish abominations that stalk scorched wastelands. She certainly seems well-educated in the myths and lore of the land, but her practical education needs a bit more work. As a young woman dreaming of heroic triumphs, Talkhora [sic] has diligently studied tales of romance and high adventure. She's as fluent with the folk tales of Istani commoners as she is with the thrilling narratives of great literature. Now that she's seen what adventuring is like in the real world, however, the difference between dreams and reality is rapidly becoming more apparent.

Dialogue
In Plains of Jarin, Cliffs of Dohjok, and Mehtani Keys:
 * "Uhm, hello. What's that? Yes, I'm from Vabbi. No, I'm no one important; just a simple priestess of Lyssa. I know how to heal wounds and protect you from danger. But I don't plan to stay in the temple. I'm going to be an adventurer! You'll see."

In Throne of Secrets:
 * "We did it. We really did it. I can't believe it. We're heroes..."
