Lady Cantara Savienne, Knight of the Crown

Cantara Savienne was born in the great city of Palanthas, and was raised by a family long devoted to the healing gifts of Paladine. While inspired by the Savienne's work for the greater good of the people, she was far too enchanted by the majestic Knights of Solamnia who protected her beautiful city and its inhabitants from the evils of Krynn. Determined to protect the powers of good, she set out at the age of 17 to train both physically and spiritually with the dream of becoming a holy warrior of Paladine.
    Many hardships were overcome over the following years, and it was the path of the solitary paladin Cantara had followed until one fateful day. She had wandered into the dark Crytic Forest in hopes of releasing the foul curse with which it was plagued. Many hideous beasts tried to stop her, but she persisted and pushed onward, determined to reach the center of the dark forest. After several days she stumbled into a dark pit, only to find herself face to face with the Guard Captain Corak. Such a fierce opponent she had never faced before, but her determination prevailed and the captain fell to her sword. But alas, the battle left her gravely wounded, and she was forced to rest in the captains glowing caves.
    Hearing footfalls, Cantara tensed, only knowing that she could not survive another attack. But this was no beast which met her, but a proud warrior. He entered and, seeing her wounded, sat to rest and talk with her. He spoke of many things, and upon mentioning the Knighthood Cantara's spirit soared. He spoke of a close friend, Sir Noryl, who would be honored to speak of the Knighthood with such a fine warrior as herself.
    Over the next few years, Cantara fought bravely, determined to join her dreams and the ranks of the Knighthood. At the request of Sir Justinian, she sought out the Keep of Lord Argand and, upon hearing of his tragic curse, traveled many days to the Temple of Grak with the hopes of freeing this poor soul from darkness. It was within the walls of Grak where she broke the dark curse of Lord Argand and gained the privilege of joining the brilliant Knights of Solamnia in their never-ending quest.
