Michael Williams's novel The Oath and the Measure (1992), fourth in The Meetings Sextet series, gives more information about Sturm's father during Sturm's quest to meet Lord Wilderness, Lord Vertumnus, the only person who informs the true story about the Brightblade castle's fall and his father's death.

Importance in Dragonlance

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman had decided, since the conception of the Chronicles Trilogy, that Sturm's appearances would end before any of the other characters, as explained by the authors:[5]

“ We did not "kill" Sturm arbitrarily. The Anvil of Time The Sellsword (April 2008 by Cam Banks, (ISBN 0-7869-4722-5 The Survivors (Forthcoming The noble Knight of Solamnia was intended to be a tragic hero from the first inception of the project. ”

According to the Dragonlance timeline defined by the authors, the Knights of Solamnia were an association of honorable knights fell in disgrace[6] as the regular citizens of the fictional world of Krynn blamed them for not being able to stop the Cataclysm,[7] the event in which the krynnish gods threw a fiery mountain against the world to punish its inhabitants for their pride. The timeline in the Fictional universe of Dragonlance utilises a calendar centred around Cataclysm.

[8] The authors determined that Sturm Brightblade, technically a Squire, a knighthood member who is learning the codes and skills needed to be knighted, would restore the honor of the Knights of Solamnia by sacrificing himself during a battle against the Dragonarmies of Ansalon, armies supporting Takhisis, the goddess of darkness. In the Dragonlance universe the Solamnic Knights are a chivalric order, a "brotherhood forged when Krynn was young" This is a list of major Dragonlance characters and their early life in the series Takhisis is a Fictional character from the Dragonlance universe

The decision is hinted during the first book of the trilogy, Dragons of Autumn Twilight (1984), when the group of friends meet the Forestmaster, the unicorn protecting the mysterious Darken Woods, with the paragraph:[9]

"Be at ease, warrior," she said. Dragons of Autumn Twilight is a fantasy novel by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, based on a Dungeons & Dragons game session It was the The List of Dragonlance locations tries to enumerate the most important cities towns castles and villages found in the world of Krynn, from the Dragonlance setting "The deer fulfills his purpose in life by providing sustenance for the hunter—be it wolf or man. We do not mourn the loss of those who die fulfilling their destinies. "
It seemed to Tanis that the Forestmaster's dark eyes went to Sturm as she spoke, and there was a deep sadness in them that filled the half-elf's heart with cold fear.

– Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, chapter 11

Weis and Hickman had explained, throughout the first two books of the Chronicles series, that a number of factions divided the Knights of Solamnia, making them unable to take decisions to prevent the spread of the invasion by the Dragonarmies of Ansalon, successfully describing a world where hope was almost nonexistent. Margaret Edith Weis (born March 16, 1948 in Independence, Missouri, United States) is a fantasy novelist who along with Tracy Raye Hickman (born November 26, 1955 Salt Lake City is a best-selling fantasy Author, best known for his work on Dragonlance Dragons of Autumn Twilight is a fantasy novel by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, based on a Dungeons & Dragons game session It was the However, by using his sacrifice, they were able to put an end to the internal quarrels of the association, turning it into the only armed organization able to stop the forces of evil. [10]

In The Annotated Chronicles (1999), Hickman reveals that, while working with the story, he came across a Norse legend in which a king, while standing in the battlements of his fortress, saw an arrow coming his way. Norse mythology comprises the indigenous pre-Christian religion, beliefs and Legends of the Scandinavian peoples including those who settled on Iceland A vision flashed in the king's mind, informing the arrow would kill him but, because of it, his warriors would fight courageously until winning the battle. This story was used as inspiration for Sturm's final battle. [10]

Although the authors had foreshadowed his death through two books,[11] the character's end caused an uproar between fans which surprised the authors, Weis explains in the Annotated Chronicles, to the point of being accused of "not caring" about Sturm. [11] In this book, however, both state they cried while writing the scene. [10]

Authors refer to Sturm Brightblade as a major hero of the Knights of Solamnia, at the same level of Vinas Solamnus, founder of the knighthood, and Huma Dragonbane, who defeated Takhisis in the final battle at the end of the Age of Light. This is a list of major Dragonlance characters and their early life in the series The timeline in the Fictional universe of Dragonlance utilises a calendar centred around Cataclysm. In Dragons of a Lost Star (2002), the second book of the War of Souls trilogy, Weis and Hickman write that Laurana Kanan, Queen Mother of the Qualinesti elves, prayed to Sturm moments before confronting Beryllinthranox, the green dragon overlord,[12] while in Jeff Crook's The Rose and the Skull (1999), Crysania of Tarinius, head of Paladine's church, name him along with the two previously mentioned heroes.

Characteristics

The type of weapon Sturm carries is a two-handed sword, although much of the artwork depicting Sturm, as well as the figurine released by Ral Partha in the "Heroes of the Lance" miniatures box set, show him carrying a one handed sword. Ral Partha was a company based in Cincinnati Ohio that made 25 mm and 15 mm miniature figures for Role playing games and historical games The Dragonlance game materials list Sturm's weapon as a two handed sword +3. And in Dragons of Autumn Twilight it is described as a ". Dragons of Autumn Twilight is a fantasy novel by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, based on a Dungeons & Dragons game session It was the . . . splendid, if old-fashioned, two-handed sword". Later Dragonlance supplements name the weapon as the Brightblade. It is inscribed with runes of friendship that give the sword's wielder a bonus to charisma checks. It is also said that the sword will not break unless its owner breaks first, strongly implying that as long as the wielder remains strong in the face of adversity, staying resolute and not breaking either in fear or principle, the weapon will never break. Later Steel Brightblade, a Knight of Takhisis, uses his father's sword, the Brightblade, in the Chaos war. Steel Brightblade is a Fictional character from the Dragonlance universe In the Dragonlance Campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons Role-playing game, the Knights of Neraka is a lawful

Sturm's long, thick mustaches, the age-old symbols of the Solamnic Knights, are a source of pride. In the Dragonlance universe the Solamnic Knights are a chivalric order, a "brotherhood forged when Krynn was young" His armor is old, dating "almost back to the Cataclysm", and all that is left of his inheritance. Raistlin revealed to Steel that he could not stand Sturm, who was always preaching, always telling the 'correct' course of action. Raistlin told the young man, however, that he liked Sturm better after he discovered the man was only made a knight shortly before his death, that Sturm had all his life been living by a code he was not bound to--a code that many so-called true Solamnic Knights were only playing lip service to, that in his opinion Sturm had been a true knight his entire life.
