History
Lord of His Pack
During the Cataclysm, Talar was sent by Darnassus to assist Gilneas with the worgen.
He later led the other ships in evacuating Gilneans to Teldrassil after the Forsaken led by Sylvanas Windrunner conquered their homeland. When he first offered Genn Greymane his help, it was rejected because of the king's stubbornness. During the voyage, Talar saved Mia Greymane and Tess Greymane, Genn's wife and daughter, from drowning after their vessel was nearly destroyed, healing their wounds. He then personally rescued Genn himself from a similar fate, humbling the Gilnean king after his close encounter with death, and beginning a friendship between the two of them.[1]
Dragonflight
Captain Talar Oaktalon was seen speaking with Taldar Windsinger in Belanaar in Amirdrassil shortly after establishment of Bel'ameth.
He later began captaining the ship Moonlit Rose which travels between Belanaar and Stormglen in Gilneas.

Greetings, friend. I am Talar Oaktalon.
It has been many years since my first voyage to Gilneas. That was a different time for both of our people. A different world, even.
To think now, after all the suffering both kaldorei and Gilneans have endured, we can make this return journey with no trepidation but merely... tranquil purpose.
<Talar inhales deeply before exhaling with a smile.>
Welcome aboard the Moonlit Rose.
I am excited to sail from Bel'ameth to Gilneas and back.
In many ways, both the Gilnean and us are alike. Losing a home and then getting a new one, or simply reclaiming that which we had lost can uplift every soul.
Perhaps one day I will have the time to visit the Greymanes. I hear Tess is the one, how do they say it, pulling the strings in Gilneas now. I am happy that I was able to bring the Greymanes to safety when they needed our help.
Both our people have suffered enough. May the Rut'theran's Reminiscence bring us ever closer.
