Durothil (prince)

Durothil was the prince of the elven realm Tintageer. He fled with the last survivors of his people, when Tintageer was destroyed by a tremendous flood. With all sun elves of Tintageer and the moon elf Sharlario Moonflower Durothil came to the north of Faerûn. Directly after they arrived on the top of a hill, they were attacked by the red dragon Mahartnatorian. He got lost for some years and was rescued by Lythari. When he returned to his people the sun elves no longer needed a king and so the prince began to study the art of magic. But he also followed a plan to get back his power and maybe even got power over the dragon, who threatened his people.

The first Dragonrider
Years later the gold elf prince Durothil got an egg of a silver dragon. He got the dragonegg from the ancient red wyrm Mahatnartorian, who killed the mother of the unborn silver and gave it to the prince. They both had made a bargain, the prince got the egg and twenty years later the dragon a special moon elf as a sacrifice. But as the time for the sacrifice came the prince and the now trained Silverywing rode together into the battle against the evil dragon. All three died but after that more elves became dragonriders and trained with good aligned dragons.
