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. In the following years Laurana stayed with Gilthas and attempted to aid him in governing Qualinesti, however when Beryl attacked Qualinesti directly during the War of Souls. Laurana realised she was one of the only individuals who could stand against the dragon. She wielded a dragonlance and caused Beryl's demise, but in turn Laurana was slain in the attempt.
