Lectral Hornbearer (2002 PC - 352 AC) was a male silver dragon who was the son of Callak Hornbearer and Daria. He was mated to Saytica and had several wyrmlings including Dargentan & Darlant. He deeply cared for Heart, and was heartbroken when she chose Huma Dragonbane over him. He fought in the Third Dragon War, and was saved by the Kagonesti. After the war, he lived on The Dragon Isles for hundreds of years until the War of the Lance.
As time passed, he felt he was mistaken in his aloofness from the humanoids and that his belief that love was not for dragonkind. During the War of the Lance, he found he cared deeply for his rider, a Knight of Solamnia Sir Allsar Dane, who was killed in battle by Tombfyre.
Lectral's dire foe was Tombfyre, and battled him over several encounters over the centuries. Lectral was able to slay Tombfyre at the end of the War of the Lance by locking Tombfyre into a deadly embrace and flying straight into the ground, killing them both.
His sons took his body back to the High Kharolis, the ancient home of the metallic dragons.
