Half-Elf Fighter
Alignment: NG
Tanis Half-Elven was born in the year 258 AC, son of Elansa Kanan, sister to the
Speaker of the Suns, Solostaran, and a human rogue who raped her. Solostaran
raised Tanis with his children, but he was always an outcast as he was a half-elf.
While still young, Tanis met Flint Fireforge, a hill dwarf residing in Qualinost as
well. After leaving Qualinesti together, Tanis became one of the fames Heroes of
the Lance, an honorary Solamnic Knight, wife of Laurana Kanan and father of
Gilthas. Tanis was slain by the Knights of Takhisis, defending the High Clerist's
Tower in 383 AC.
Flint Fireforge
Neidar Dwarf Fighter
Alignment: NG
Born in 212 AC in Hillhome, the Khalkist Mountains, Flint Fireforge is the oldest
of the Companions. During his younger days, Flint was an artisan in residence in
Qualinesti, commissioned by Solostaran to work his art in carvings and
metalworking. There he met Tanis Half-Elven, and the two outcasts of elven
society became friends. They left Qualinesti, and Flint took up residence in Solace
where he became a surrogate father to the Majere brothers. Flint died making the
journey to Neraka with the Companions during the War of the Lance. He sits by a
tree near Reorx's forge in the sky, carving and waiting for a 'doorknob of a
kender' to join him.
Tasslehoff Burrfoot
Kender Thief (Handler)
Alignment: NG
Tas was born in Kendermore, the nephew of Uncle Trapspringer, a hero of
kender folklore. While travelling during his Wanderlust, Tas ended up in Solace
with one of Flint's metalworking pieces in his pouches. Tanis caught the kender,
and the three became friends for the remainder of their lives. Always fearless and
able to look on the bright side of any situation, Tas was never at a loss for telling a
good story to anyone who might listen. Tas was killed in the battle with Chaos
during the Second Cataclysm, and is honored at the Last Heroes' Tomb.
Coincidentally, many kender now claim to have an 'Uncle Tas.'
Caramon Majere
Human Fighter
Alignment: LG
Caramon was born in AC 335 in Solace, older brother to his twin, Raistlin.
Caramon was well liked by everyone, and became a force to be reckoned with,
being very good at sword fighting. He always patronized Raistlin, though the two
adventured together during their young adulthood. As one of the Heroes of the
Lance, Caramon's Inn of the Last Home has become world famous. He and Tika,
his wife, are the parents of five children.
Raistlin Majere
Human Black Robe Mage
Alignment: CE
Born shortly after his twin, Caramon, Raistlin was always a sickly child. Disliked
by most other children of Solace, Raistlin was a loner, preferring magic to
swordplay. He was enrolled in a magical school and there became the youngest
wizard to ever take the Test. The wounds he received there--golden skin and
hourglass eyes--have affected him tremendously. Switching from the Red to Black
Robes, Raistlin challenged Fistandantilus and became the Master of Past and
Present, powerful enough to challenge the Dark Queen and win. Raistlin left the
world with the gods after the second Cataclysm.
Sturm Brightblade
Human Knight of Solamnia
Alignment: LG
Sturm was the son of a Solamnic lord, displaced by marauding commoners in the
years after the Cataclysm. He became a companion of Tanis, Flint and the Majere
brothers while living in Solace. Always acting the part of the Knight--though he
was not much of the time, a newly Knighted Sturm led the Knights of Solamnia in
the defense of the High Clerist's Tower during the Blue Dragonarmy's attack in the
War of the Lance. Though the battle was won, Sturm was slain by the Blue Lady,
and buried beneath the Tower, the greatest hero of the Knights since Huma
Dragonbane.

Mishakal and the daughter of a Knight of Solamnia who survived the Cataclysm.

kender army against Malystyrx.

meant to adventure. She became the Golden General, leading Whitestone armies

Lord Soth
Knight of Solamnia/Death Knight
Lord Soth was a Knight of the Rose, one of the highest of his order, who
forsook his position through the murder of his wife after seducing an elven
cleric. When she discovered what the gods planned for Krynn, she prayed
to Paladine to grant Soth the power to stop the Cataclysm. Lord Soth
forsook his quest for because of jealous notions planted in his head by
elven clerics he met on his way to Istar. Upon returning to Dargaard Keep
on the Night of Doom, he entered the castle as the fiery mountain struck
Krynn, killing his wire and child--but not before she cursed him for his
treachery. Lord Soth now roams Krynn as a death knight; his men at arms
are now his legion of undead. Soth served the Blue Lady, taking her soul
upon her death to accompany him throughout eternity.
Rennard the Oathbreaker
Human Knight of Solamnia/Cleric of Morgion
The uncle of Huma was a Knight of the Rose in pre-Cataclysmic times.

Dragon War. Rennard was killed in a duel with Huma Dragonbane, only to
be consumed with the plague for failing his dark god.
Gargath
Human Mage
Gargath managed to capture the Graygem and harness its wild magic. His

Galan Dracos
Human Renegade Mage
A renegade mage during the Third Dragon War, Dracos was the Dark
Queen's servant. Dracos's ambition was to open a gateway and allow
Takhisis to enter the world, which he succeeded in doing. Dracos was
destroyed by Huma Dragonbane when the Knight threw Magius's staff
into the crystal sphere, which was the source of Dracos's power.
the Kingpriest of Istar
Human Cleric of Paladine
The Kingpriest was truly an evil human. While claiming to be the most
righteous person on earth, the Kingpriest persecuted everyone who did not
follow his edicts and wishes to the fullest extent. When he called upon
Paladine to transform him into a god, the Cataclysm occurred. The
Kingpriest died when the Firey Mountain fell on him.
Lorac Caladon
Silvanesti Elf Mage
The Speaker of the Stars ordered his people to flee Silvanesti, for the
elven king believed he could save the forest by himself. Calling upon the
powers of a dragon orb which he rescued from Istar before the Cataclysm,
Lorac transformed Silvanesti into a nightmare. He died when the
Companions broke his twisted dream, which was the only thing keeping
him alive at that point.
