Knights of Tereva

Founded millenia ago by Tereva the First, the Knights of Tereva were an order of elves dedicated to the eradication of chromatic dragons in Eorel. At the height of the mythic Dragon Wars, Tereva the First sealed a pact in blood between his family and the platinum dragon Bahamut, creating the bond between a rider, their griffin, and a metallic dragon that doubled their effectiveness when fighting chromatic dragons. Using knowledge shared from Bahamut, Tereva forged the first dragonlances and dragonseeker bows, strengthening his new order's battle against evil dragonkind. The culmination of the order's efforts came when the last Knights of Tereva, Kalatar and Merethyl Tereva, Lathander Shondras, Imril and Siona Faebanise, and Silas Moonbeam slew who they thought was the last of the red dragons. After going their separate ways, Kalatar and Merethyl retired to the Deepmist where they raised their two children until the red dragon Klauth attacked them in vengeance. In their efforts to slay Klauth, which were successful, Kalatar and Merethyl gave their lives. The last of the Tereva bloodline is their daughter, Valadhiel, who was raised in the Shylmista Forest by the elven high priest Andronel.
