Sturm was the son of a famous Solamnic lord who gave him his only prized posseion, his sword. 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--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 Dark Lady, and buried beneath the Tower, the greatest hero of the Knights since Huma Dragonbane.
