Talona, aka Lady of Poison, Mistress of Disease, Mother of all Plagues, and The Plague-crone, is the Goddess of Poison and Disease in the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons & Dragons. Ed Greenwood has stated that, like Loviatar, Talona was inspired by the Finnish pantheon's presence in the Deities & Demigods Cyclopedia for OD&D, and she was based upon Kiputytto, a Finnish Goddess of Disease. Perhaps in homage of this, old lore for Talona claims that Kiputytto was a rival disease-goddess that challenged Talona, lost, and was slain by her for the affront.
