Laurana is the youngest child of the Speaker of the Suns. She and her childhood best friend Tanis were secretly seperated 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 into something she was definately not ready for. 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--but only a puppet of the Knights of Takhisis.
