The Talendars are the oldest, proudest noble family in Sembia. Among their enemies are the Uskevren family. Their family home, Old High Hall, is the biggest merchant-noble residence in Selgaunt. House Talendar deals in fine furniture and frequently ships to the kingdoms of the far south - Amn, Calimshan, and Tethyr, where the demand for Archendale walnut and Sembian mahogany seem infinite.
