Twilight TalonSource Hellfire Dispatches pg. 36The clandestine arm of Andoran's civil defense, the Twilight Talons are a mystery even to those inside the country. Full details of the branch's missions are known only to Marshall Helena Trellis, the head of the Talons. While technically under the command of the Supreme Elect and the Eagle Knight Commander, Helena enjoys almost complete autonomy, and she's spent years devising clever ways to obfuscate the operations of the Talons. Twilight Talon agents are even more mysterious. Embedded in other regions of the Inner Sea—or farther afield—agents seldom know anyone active in the organization other than their immediate superiors and the handful of trainers who prepared them for the field. During their assignments, agents assume a cover identity, often for years at a time. While many Twilight Talons merely gather intelligence, some veteran agents spend years integrating themselves into foreign governments or positions of power in multinational organizations, such as the Aspis Consortium. From there, they can subtly influence a faction's relations with Andoran and sabotage those working against the nation's interests. The current most vital posting for Twilight Talon agents is also the most dangerous: within the fiendish bureaucracy of Cheliax.
Due to the demands of the job, intense secrecy and long periods without contact, most recruited Twilight Talon agents are Eagle Knights who lack strong ties of family or friendship holding them in Andoran. The ideal agent is clever, smooth-tongued, and circumspect. Once inducted into the organization, an agent receives individual training from the superior who'll be their handler once they're deemed ready for the field. Agents are expected to be almost completely self-sufficient once in place. After an agent accomplishes their mission, or when they fear exposure, Twilight Talons vanish, cutting ties with all who knew them in their cover identity. Even when working with other organizations that might be sympathetic to Andoran's cause, such as the Knights of Lastwall or the Pathfinder Society, agents will seldom reveal their true allegiance, lest they compromise future missions.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 Spring 2026, 1st PrintingSome archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.
