Emerald Knights

The Emerald Knights were an order of Dalish warriors responsible for protecting the Dales border. When the Second Exalted March struck, they led the defense against the human forces, and all perished They endure as remnants of a time when the Dales belonged to the elven nation.

Notable Emerald Knights

 * Andrale
 * Briathos
 * Elandrin was one of the main parties involved in the events of Red Crossing. He had fallen in love with a human girl from the town and was fully committed to being with her, even if that meant swearing himself to a human god and incurring the wrath of his own people. His fellow knights, misinterpreting the nature of their relationship, marched on the town in an attempt to bring Elandrin back. It was here that, by accident, one of the knights, Siona, killed the human girl. When the townsfolk eventually found Elandrin clutching her body, he too was killed. His body was later collected by the People and laid to rest. His epitaph is found in Din'an Hanin.
 * Ilan
 * Lindirane was the last to wield the blade, Evanura, and the last of the Emerald Knights to fall during the Second Exalted March against the Dales. When Halamshiral fell to Orlesian forces, she was at the helm of the last desperate resistance mounted in the Exalted Plains. Here she faced the Orlesian Champion, Ser Brandis of Lac Celestine, refusing to yield. In the end, she was slain by an arrow fired by another soldier.
 * Mathalin is believed to have been the first Emerald Knight, and the first to wield the legendary sword, Evanura, forged specifically for him by the High Keeper of June.
 * Rin
 * Siona
 * Soran
 * Sulan had been Mathlin's young squire. Mathlin had given Evanura to the boy after he saved the older knight's life during a battle.
 * Talim
 * Vaharel was responsible for leading the successful invasion of the city of Montisimmard during the Second Exalted March.
