Not a real dragonmarked house: a criminal gang of people with aberrant dragonmarks, named after Halas Tarkanan, the aberrant hero of the War of the Mark fifteen hundred years ago. Its current leader has taken his name. See Halas Tarkanan.
What the party has seen
- The Moonriser attack (Rhaan 20). Jeras Orien and Tarkus the Dark tried to crash the lightning rail into Sharn, and stole the Spell Sink, an eldritch machine that drinks arcane energy. They still have it.
- The Broken Blade, their hideout in Daggerwatch: Irix d’Tarkanan, Zaelar d’Tarkanan and Vorn d’Tarkanan.
- Operation Shadow Sovereign: their campaign to break the dragonmarked houses’ grip on Khorvaire. Azura Halar revealed that Aundair is backing it.
- A standoff with Tarkanans in a tavern cellar, near midnight on Rhaan 28.
- Club Elysium was tied to Tarkanan money.
