Silvanos, the august founder of the united elven nation known as Silvanesti, is dead and buried in a crystal tomb. The leadership of the clans and households has fallen to his son, Sithel, who is himself father of twin sons. The princes Sithas and Kith-Kanan represent emerging factions among these elves: Kith-Kanan is the leader of the Wildrunners, a group of elves that stirs tension by forging contacts and trade with the humans of Ergoth; Sithas closely allies himself with the court in the elven capital. The rivalry between kin climaxes with their father's mysterious death.

When Kith-Kanan is vaguely implicated, Sithas, the firstborn twin, in enthroned.

The leader of the Wildrunners, Kith-Kanan, commits the ultimate heresy and falls in love with a human of intriguing background. His twin brother, the firstborn ruler of all Silvanesti elves, Sithas, declares war on the Ergothians, and Kith-Kanan must choose sides. Noble, he fights alongside his proud race in the terrible Kinslayer Wars. But when the historic Swordsheath Scroll is signed, Kith-Kanan and his followers are forced into a tragic exile.

Tonya R. Carter

Paperback Published
Nov 1991

Paperback re-release with new cover art

One of the most fabled stories in all of Krynn's tradition - untold before now - the founding of Qualinost, and the creation of the magnificent society of the renegade elves, the Qualinesti.

Kith-Kanan becomes the first Speaker of the Suns. His reign can claim many triumphs, including a pact with the reclusive dwarves or Thorbardin that results in the great monument of Pax Tharkas. But Kith-Kanan is haunted by his failures: acrimony between the elven factions and the mysterious behavior of his son, his future successor.

All the glory and tragedy of the Qualinesti are evoked in the third volume of The Elven Nations Trilogy, by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya R. Carter, authors of three acclaimed DRAGONLANCE® novels.
