This page will have some information about The Companions of the DragonLance Saga.
There were seven Companions, I'll list them and personal info about them below.
Either scrool down the page and check them all out or click on the name of the one you want to read about.
The Companions names are as follows:
- Tanis
- Sturm
- Caramon
- Raistlin
- Flint
- Tasslehoff
- Kitiara
Tanis
Tanis is the leader of the companions. He isn't the
perfect leader--he doesn't always do "the right thing."
usually ends up making his decisions with his heart
instead of with his head. He has deep friendships with all
of the companions, especially Flint. Tanis was the
product of a violent encounter between an elven woman
and a human rapist. He was an unhappy youth who was
disliked by most of the elven community simply because
he was different. He fell in love with the elfmaid
Laurana,and later left Qualinesti to go to Solace after
meeting Flint. There he met the companions. He fell in
love with Caramon and Raistlin's half-sister Kitiara. He
was torn between his love for Laurana and Kitiara,
which served as a constant reminder of his divided
heritage. He later led the companions in the War of the
Lance and played a key role in eliminating the Dark
Queen's most powerful servant--the Dragon Highlord
Ariakas. Later still, Tanis helped to fight the Chaos War.
Sadly, he was killed by a barbarian in a battle at the High
Clerist's Tower.
Sturm
All through his life, Sturm had to put up with the antics
of Lord Boniface and Derek Crownguard. In his youth,
Sturm was tormented by being locked in an abandoned
castle, assaulted by assasins both human and draconian,
and riding horses with faulty shoes. When Sturm was in
possesion of the dragonorb, attempting to bring it to the
Knights, Derek Crowngaurd questioned his honor on
various accounts upon arrival.
Sturm had always held true to his honor, even before he
was accepted as a knight. After hearing the testimony
from Laurana, Sir Gunthar accepted Sturm into the
Knighthood in the lowest order. After Derek
Crownguard died, Sturm became Lord of the Knights
of the Crown for his final battle at the Tower of the High
Clerist (or High Clerist Tower).
Sturm's valiant life ended at the hands of Kitiara Uth
Matar, who oddly was the mother of his child, Steel
Brightblade. When Steel visited his father's tomb,Sturm
granted him the legendary sword and the elven
Starjewel given to him by Alhana Starbreeze of
Silvanost.
Caramon
Caramon Majere is the brute strength of the
Heroes of the Lance. Twin brother to Raistlin, he
balances in strength what Raist has in intelligence.
The brothers fight well together, mixing spell and
steel.
After the War of the Lance, Caramon married
Tika Waylan. He lost control of his body in the
years after the war, and turned into a babbling
drunk. It was Raistlin who got the big man back
in shape, taking him back in time and having him
train to fight in the arena at Istar.
Caramon always cared for his brother, taking any
insults thrown his way in stride. He even tried to
bring his brother back from the forces of evil
when the twins travelled back in time. But
Raistlin's ambition was too strong.
