[edit] Heroes

[edit] Alhana Starbreeze

Main article: Alhana Starbreeze

First introduced in the early chapters of Dragons of Winter Night (1985), Alhana Starbreeze is the princess of Silvaensti, daughter of Lorac Caladon, the Speaker of the Stars. Alhana joins the companions while trying to recruit mercenaries in the city of Tarsis. Travelling clandestinely, she reveals herself to Sturm Brightblade, who becomes the first human to look at her face,^[1] establishing a bond between both characters that would last until the end of the novel.

After the War of the Lance she married Porthios Kanan in an attempt to reunite the elven lands of Qualinesti and Silvanesti. However, a plot hatched by an elven senator resulted in the casting out of her and her husband, Porthios, and labeled as dark elves.

During her exile, she gave birth to Silvanoshei Caladon, rightful heir of the combined Elven Nations, but as she was termed a dark elf, he could not rule the two kingdoms.

According to Tracy Hickman, the introduction of this character helped him and Margaret Weis to split the group of heroes (at that point in the storyline consisting of 14 members) in two smaller and more manageable groups.^[2] It also marked the definitely split between the novels and the game modules. From this point on, the Dragonlance series began following the storyline set by the novels instead of the one stated in the game modules.^[2]

There is a Hungarian symphonic metal band called Alhana, with their first album called Starbreeze (Csillagszellő, in Hungarian)

[edit] Astinus

Main article: Astinus

Astinus is rumored to be the mortal avatar of Gilean, because he sees and records all that happens on Krynn. However, he leaves Krynn after the Chaos War, taking away the books that he has penned, but leaving those of his aides.

Astinus himself is near immortal. It is said that he was there when the world began and he will still be there when the world ends.

[edit] Bupu

A gully dwarf who lived with the Bulp clan in the ruins of Xak Tsaroth. Bupu was intelligent among her people, well known for being able to count past two, a feat few gully dwarves accomplish. In addition, she was a mage among her people, using a dead rat and a dead lizard to perform very minor magic, sometimes she did not even perform the magic, instead someone else did and it looked like she did (an example is in Time of the Twins, wherein Bupu placed a dead lizard on the chest of Lady Crysania, a Revered Daughter of Paladine, who appeared dead at the time, and suddenly Crysania had signs of life. However, in truth, Raistlin Majere had done this magic from afar in Palanthas).

Bupu dresses in rags that humans had thrown away. She has black eyes, a large nose, and her hair is in a bun. Bupu coined the term "a whole bunch" among gully dwarves.

While Bupu was traveling amongst the ruins of Xak Tsaroth, she encountered Raistlin, who cast a charm spell on her. She promptly became infatuated with him, and would follow his every command. She helped the Companions reach Khisanth and, when Xak Tsaroth fell further into the water, she traveled with the Companions back to Solace. When Raistlin said farewell to Bupu, she gave him a parting gift, the spellbook of Fistandantilus.

Bupu married the Highbulp after the War ended. She was found by Tasslehoff Burrfoot, a kender, to testify to the Wizard's Conclave about Raistlin's kindness to her.

His mission in life is that of personal gain and to relieve himself of the scale on his leg, rapidly spreading, enforced by the magic of the Shadow Dragon who's blood was used to undo the control that Malystryx had over Dhamon. Through deception Dhamon is tricked into working for the Shadow Dragon to destroy the Black overlord, Sable. Dhamon struggles with his conscience to undermine the Shadow Dragon and become once again a free soul.

He and Tasslehoff Burrfoot become "close, personal friends" (as Tas is wont to say) along the journey. He "died" in Pax Tharkas, turning into a pile of chicken feathers. He later comes back in the Silver Dragon Mountain to aid in the forging of dragonlances. He claims Flint Fireforge's body in Godshome, taking him to the afterlife.

Gilthas Pathfinder was Tanis Half-Elven's (a half-elf) and Laurana Kanan's (a full elf) only child in the fictional series of novels, Dragonlance. His parents named him after his uncle, Gilthanas Kanan. Gilthas was more elven than he was human, making him not quite an elf, but not quite a half-elf either. Gilthas was married in secret to Kerianseray when he was around 55 years old, a young adult by elven standards.

Gilthas was sickly in his young years, and quite frail too, akin to Raistlin Majere in this matter. His hair was light and he had blue eyes, and his human blood made him a bit impatient. He could speak the elven language, as well as Common, like nearly everyone else in the world. He was enthralled by poetry in his young days, sometimes reading, sometimes writing.

As he grew into an adult, he became almost exactly opposite of his younger self. Now his skin was darker, he was less frail and now lean, and his demeanor was serious beyond his age. His face was lined and his hair showing grayness, all while he was still considered young. Gilthas would eventually become Speaker of the Suns, and later fuse that title with Speaker of the Stars when he became king of the Silvanesti, making himself Speaker of the Sun and Stars.

A Knight of the Rose who became the Grand Master of the Knights of Solamnia during the War of the Lance. Gunthar was married to Lady Belle Uth Wistan, and had two sons, both knights. His eldest son died during the Blue Dragonarmy invasion of Palanthas during the Blue Lady's War, while his youngest son died during the Chaos War.

As an innovator, many of his ideas raised eyebrows in the Knighthood to the point of dividing them when the previous Grand Master died. At one side some supported Derek Crownguard, Knight of the Rose, a traditional knight who wanted to enforce the strictures of the Oath and the Measure. Others, however, argued that the Knighthood needed restructuring to fit the new era and pointed to Gunthar Uth Wistan, Knight of the Sword back then, as the better choice for the task. After Derek's death in the Battle of the High Clerist's Tower during the War of the Lance, nobody was able to oppose Gunthar, who was named Grand Master shortly thereafter.

Gunthar dedicated most of his time to rewriting the Measure, the code by which the Knighthood ruled the behavior of the Knights at all situations. However, the death of his sons and wife heavily depressed him, slowing his progress. As age gripped him, he became to slowly lose his wits, making his new modifications questionable.

The coming of the Dragon Overlords during the Fifth Age, and the apparition of Pyrothraxus near the Isle of Sancrist, prompted Gunthar Uth Wistan to send an invitation to Lady Mirielle Abrena to merge the Knights of Solamnia and the Knights of Takhisis into a single force, the Knights of Sancrist Isle, in order to stand a chance against them. Two years after the suggestion, a force of twelve Knights of Takhisis arrived in representation of the full force to discuss the merging. However, during one of the prepared events to celebrate the meeting of the parties, Gunthar Uth Wistan was tricked into separating from the main group and was ambushed by the mythical boar Mannjaeger, who fatally wounded him.

The Uth Wistan line came to an end with his death on the year 392 AC (9 SC), at the age of 78. Sir Liam Ehrling, Knight of the Rose and High Justice of the Knights of Solamnia, was named his successor.

When Dhamon loses himself to Malys's power, Jasper risks his life to save Goldmoon, however he fails and she dies, and he is left with a blow that made his breathing labored and himself physically weak until is was healed at a later date.

A thoughtful and wise leader, he leads his people, whom are composed of wandering nomads, in peaceful and thoughtful ways. More than a few times will he consult his draconic friend, Duranix, for help, whether it be from attacking raiders or from simple everyday troubles. Appears in the all three books of The Barbarians Saga written by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya C. Cook.

[edit] Berem/The Everman

The Foundation Stone was discovered by Jasla and her brother Berem, who decided to take one of the emeralds decorating it, accidentally killing his sister when she tried to stop him. The emerald fuses in Berem's chest, granting him immortality. Without the emerald, the Foundation Stone is useless, and Takhisis is prevented from entering Krynn. She commands her forces to search for Berem, who is known to them as the Everman.

[edit] Laura Majere

Laura Majere (373 AC -) is a fictional character from the Dragonlance series of books. She had red hair once, though it has now turned white.

Laura is the daughter of Caramon and Tika Waylan Majere. Unlike her siblings or parents, Laura did not follow the life of an adventurer, instead she took over running the Inn of the Last Home from her parents.

[edit] Pheragas

Pheragas was an Ergothian and a sailor who was captured and forced to fight in the games of Istar, where he, along with the Sirene Kiiri, became favorites. In one timeline, he went with Fistandantilus and Denubis to be General of Fistandantilus's army. When Raistlin, Caramon, and Cysania came back, they altered this, with Caramon replacing Pheragas as General and Pheragas dying in the last battle at the games of Istar.

[edit] Solostaran Kanan

The Speaker of the Suns during the War of the Lance.

[edit] Wanderer the Elder

Wanderer was Riverwind's grandfather, notable for being one of the only Que-Shu to still believe in the ancient gods, perhaps instilling those beliefs in Riverwind.

[edit] Wanderer (Riverwind's Son)

Wanderer, son of Riverwind and Goldmoon, was born 352 AC and named in honor of Riverwind's father, Wanderer the Elder. He later had a son of his own, but during the Chaos War, when shadow wights attacked the tribe, his child's mother was essentially wiped from existence, with not even Wanderer able to remember her.
