Talona is the goddess of poison and disease in the fictional Forgotten Realms
universe of the Dungeons & Dragons
role-playing game. Ed Greenwood created Talona for his home Dungeons & Dragons game, inspired by the Finnish deity Kiputytto.

Talona is depicted as an old crone who walks bringing misfortune and death. Talona is the goddess of plague and disease, her followers are expected to go about quietly and seek out new diseases. Talona allies with Loviatar and despises Chauntea, Mielikki, Kelemvor, and Tyr. She dislikes Ilmater for the cures he finds.

Priests of Talona carry daggers dipped in poison. In the R.A. Salvatore series The Cleric Quintent, the formula to the concoction known as the "Chaos Curse" was given to Abalister Bonaduce by an imp which the avatar of Talona had told Aballister about.

In the Second Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Talona originally came from Earth. This was omitted from the Third Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.

The first book in the Forgotten Realms series, The Priests, is about the worshippers of Talona. The book, by author Bruce Cordell, is titled Lady Of Poison.

Followers of Plague

Followers of Talona take pain as if it were pleasure. They believe death is more powerful than life, though they are equal in balance. Work in her name and let your doings be subtle or spectacular.
