History: (Dragonlance #5) - Laurana was the daughter of the Speaker of Suns of the elves of Qualinost. When Krynn went to war she joined Lord Amothius to lead the Knights of Solamnia in Palanthas. One day Amothius introduced her to his guest Kalthanan, an elf she knew from qualinost. Kalthanan recounted how he was made a pariah when his evil Dark Elf father slew his family, and Laurana promised him the elves of his home were no longer so haughty and self-assured since Krynn went to war. Kalthanan was under the magical control of Raistlin, and after stabbing a guard he fled the castle.

(Dragonlance #8) - Raistlin's brother Caramon Majere brought Everman to him. Everman's sister Jasla was embedded in the foundation Stone, wedging open the entrance to Takhisis' realm. He convinced Everman to impale himself on the stone, freeing his sister, and shutting the doorway between worlds. Takhisis bellowed in anger, realizing she was being banished from Krynn. Her armies fell into chaos, and Kalthanan and company had to fight off a number of Draconians before fleeing on Kalthanan's griffon. They met Laurana and Tanis Half-Elvan, and Kalthanan apologized for his earlier violence when he was at Raistlin's mercy. Laurana was overjoyed that war on Krynn was over since Takhisis was no longer around to command her troops. All was forgiven, and Kalthanan left his friends, telling them he had unfinished business with Raistlin.
