Description

The Talons were the military arm of Black Dragon Trading. 'Officially' a mercenary group sponsored by the company, they were stationed all along the trade routes and were responsible for the saftey and protection of the immediate area along with the caravans that traveled through the territory. 

Each division was given a territory specific flag to work under. This was the Bruma flag, displayed in and around outposts and watchtowers. While non territory specific forts and citadels used the traditional red and gold flag.

This flag was recovered from the Cloud Ruler Citadel. It's damaged state is due to the Boethian invasion that took place in 4E721. 

Bruma was one of four cities in Cyrodiil that had any association with Black Dragon Trading, and one of the few that allowed for any construction to be done in the area. 

When the Elder Scroll was torn by Silius, the portal opened, the Imperial City exploded, and the resulting shock wave devastated Bruma, the Talons stationed there were essential in locating and evacuating survivors. They then played a integral part in the defense of Pale Pass and held off Daedric forces till reinforcements could be provided.

In honor of it's heavy losses, and heroic efforts, the flag was given a place of honor in the halls of Blackstone Castle. To this day, the Bruma talons are considered in high regard, and position in the division is an honor.

Like the storyline, so Black Dragon Trading is sort of based on the East India Company that the brits had out in India, they had their own privatised army called the seepoys made up of hired mercs and privatised the civil service and law courts
