History

Erastin grew up in the Solamnic village of Witdel. After years of service from his family, the knighthood has finally allowed a member of the family to train for knighthood - Erastin. Erastin was groomed for the Knighthood since birth.

The dwarf Targin Steelaxe was hired by his family to see to his training.

Erastin was instrumental in retrieving the stolen Brightblade, which allowed him to bypass the time of squirehood and instantly become a Knight of the Crown. Erastin is the youngest recorded Knight. He was also instrumental in retrieving and restoring Flint's Axe.

Now Erastin and his companions have gone to Foghaven Vale to the Tomb of Huma, where Huma's Shield awaits. It is believed that the uniting of the Brightblade, Flint's Axe, and Huma's Shield will bring about the symbolic return of Kiri-Jolith to Krynn.
