Subject     Arrival


A young boy rides into Palanthas. The hooves
of his horse clatter noisily
on the cobblestone rode as he trots beyond the
outer city gates. He is
dressed simply: an old yellow tunic, brown cotton pants,
worn leather
boots. The nicest item on him is his gold necklace, glimmering
between his
skin and the neck of his tunic. The clip-clopping of his horse fades
to
the back of his thoughts as he takes in the sights of Palanthas: the
spiral
towers, glimmering walls, pristine houses. This was his first
trip to the city,
his first trip past the grassy plains that surrounded
his farmland. His one hope
of succeeding in this city lay in the scroll
that his grandfather had given him.
Written in fine pen was the outline
of his ancestry, linking him back to a Lord
of Solamnia, a fine Knight
of the Sword. He was the first one to leave his farm
in an attempt to
join the Knights of Solamnia since his great-grandfather, who
had been
killed as a boy by goblins, attempting to get to Palanthas. It was
his
turn to attempt to fulfill the legacy of his
ancestor.

Tristan's Background

The tale of Tristan Felgaard's history is one
filled full of happiness,
sorrow, betrayal, and faith. Since His Childhood
Tristan has been fervently
pushed into the world of combat, of course this being
normal having been
born the only son into a family history so decorated with
solmanic knights.
His father ambrosias was a member of the knights of the crown,
therefore
making it his life to protect and follow the greater good.
Persistently he
worked with his young son teaching him the way of the knights
and the oath
that has bound so many of his ancestors Est Sularus Oth Mithas (My
Honor Is
My Life). Tristan's mother a half-elf name Isabelle was a beautiful
maiden
with the honor and class of a thousand nobles, all through the woman's
life
she was made to learn the prejudice thrown upon and her by the people
of
krynn. Never did Isabelle show hate or violence to any that looked upon
her
as a disease, instead she showed the passion of mothers to there
children
seeking the ill and corrupt and showing them the ways of paladine,
healing
those of there illnesses teaching the faith. When Tristan reached ten
his
mother Isabelle fell ill and died shortly after leaving Tristan with
his
father. After the death of his mother Tristan vowed to become a knight
and
follow in his fathers footsteps, as he and his father travelled the land
of
krynn his keenness and unique skills in combat began to become clear to
those
around him. At the age of twelve Tristan and his father both highly
anxious to
vanquish the evil surrounding there homeland set forth to bring
peace and
happiness back to the tired and faith broken people. Tristan and
his father
ambrosias set out to accomplish this quest as not only a family
but as brothers
in arms, not knowing what lay ahead Tristan and his father
gallantly travelled
to neraka the center of evil and home of the temple of
takhisis. Under the
disguise of soldiers of the dragon army they crept
through the city unseen and
unchallenged, they made there way to the local
inn to quench there growing
thirst and fill there famished bodies with
nutrients. As Tristan woke that
morning he found his father dead in the room
across from his, his body a mangled
unrecognizable heap of flesh of blood,
the only thing identifying the young mans
father lay the ring of his
family's house crest. Knowing his fathers murderer to
be none other than a
assassin of takhisis his hate towards evil grew beyond all
he knew.Being the
last of his family Tristan travelled krynn building his
strengths and
keeping to the oath his father so desperately fought to teach him,
not only
vanquishing all that threatened his knighthood but those who also
dare
oppose his gold paladine. Tristan's history is not yet a long one but
I
guarantee at the end of this brilliant young warrior's life it will be
a
child's tale. Written By Astinus Of Palanthas
