Story and profile

Who they are

Talimun is a leading merchant of Dagda and a member of the Tale of the Moon clan, and he collects Drake's Treasure. He seems carefree and unreliable, but has large ambitions and a curiosity that drags him towards dangerous adventures. Money, flirting, following his heart and cinnamon all appeal to him, and he usually keeps a stick of cinnamon in his mouth. He would rather settle a dispute with a feat of strength. His free spending puts him at odds with Ursula.

He is rated S as a black mage. Luck growth of 60% leads his sheet, with Magic and Dexterity at 45% and Charm at 50%. Swashbuckler's Luck gives Lck+3, and Diadem of Duality adds Atk+3 when attacking on a 25% trigger. His path is Ovate then Druid. His only 3-range spell, Thoron, comes at Black Magic rank A, so until then he casts from closer in. Authority, Black Magic and Sword are preferred skills and Heavy is a bane skill. Game8 rates him a step lower. He joins in Part 3.

Unresolved story

Four sub lords, and routes that were never built
Talimun, Orchel, Anatolia and Bertrand each get a paralogue and a place in the plot, yet no route follows any of them.
Talimun's missable Part II scene
A Part II battle only plays if Talimun's paralogue was skipped. In it he sides with the Empire, and his mother's fate is spoken of rather than shown.
Supports that are not there
The recruit unlocked by each sub lord's paralogue has no support with that sub lord in this guide's data.

Hides: story threads the game raises and does not follow up

Not yet documented: exploration talent.
