Targos is one of the "Ten-Towns" of Icewind Dale. Situated on the southernmost shore of Maer Dualdon, Targos is a modest fishing settlement on its way to becoming a prominent community in the Dale. While the "town" is far from rivaling the burgeoning metropolises that can be found along the Sword Coast to the south of the Spine of the World Mountains, its location has given the town a distinct advantage over its sister towns. High cliff walls form a protective cove that shelter the town's fishing vessels from the savage winter storms that plague the region. Additionally, the deep waters of the natural harbor allow for the construction of larger ships, which, in turn, have made Targos a leading contender in the race for dominance of the fishing industry. Already, the town's considerable fleet lands more knucklehead trout than the collective catches of all the other fishing villages combined.

He also gives a warning about traveling there on the sky to be prepared not to return to Targos. Denham Fisher asks to see the love letter from Garradun Tanner, let him see it.
