Tanthalas "Tanis" Half-Elven

Tanis Half-Elven was born in the year 247 AC, the son of Elansa Kanan and a human rogue, who raped her and killed her husband. Tanis's mother was the wife of Kathranan, the younger brother of the Speaker of the Suns. 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 famed Heroes of the Lance, an honorary Solamnic Knight, husband 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

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

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

Caramon was born in AC 326 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

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

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 one at the time. As 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.

Goldmoon, Princess of Que-Shu

Chieftain's Daughter was the High Priestess of Que-Shu, until she received a vision from her mother to find the True Gods. With the aid of the Companions she and her husband, Riverwind, recovered the Blue Crystal Staff of Mishakal during the early days of the War of the Lance, restoring people's faith in the true gods of Krynn. After the war, she and Riverwind rebuilt Que-Shu and became parents of three children: Wanderer, Brightdawn and Moonsong. Goldmoon discovered mysticism after the second cataclysm and founded an order of mystics on the Isle of Schallsea.

Riverwind the Plainsman

Riverwind is the grandson of Wanderer, who was the grandson of a priest of Mishakal and the daughter of a Knight of Solamnia who survived the Cataclysm. Riverwind won Goldmoon's hand and completed a horrible quest to prove his worthiness to marry her. Riverwind is perhaps best known for his tracking abilities, and his ability to successfully complete difficult and dangerous quests into enemy territory. Riverwind and his younger daughter, Brightdawn, were killed leading a kender army against Malystyrx.

Lauranalanthalasa (Laurana) Kanan

Born in 278 AC, Laurana is the youngest child of the Speaker of the Suns. She and her childhood playmate Tanis were secretly betrothed shortly before Tanis left Qualinesti with Flint Fireforge. When he returned during the War of the Lance, Laurana followed the Companions to Pax Tharkas where she learned what it meant to adventure. She became the Golden General, leading Whitestone armies against the Dragon Highlords and contributing to the defeat of the Dark Queen. She and Tanis were later married, and have a son Gilthas, who is Speaker of the Suns albeit a puppet of the Knights of Takhisis.

Tika Waylan Majere

Tika is the adopted daughter of Otik, owner of the Inn of the Last Home before the War of the Lance. Teased by Caramon about her homely looks, that changed when she joined the Companions during the War of the Lance, after which she and Caramon were married and became the proprietors of the Inn.
