Suldrun (? AC - ? AC) was a female Merkitsa Elf who was one of a band of heroes that foiled several dark plots in Taladas and was hailed as one of the foremost heroes of the continent in the latter part of the Age of Despair. She originally came from the Dreaming Green, specifically as part of the Wolf Clan. However she received a vision from a bear Quoyai, that told her that the shaman that led her clan was a fake, and received no visions. Suldrun attempted to tell her people, but was driven out of her clan and forced to flee for her life. She was then told by the Bear quoyai that she must grow more powerful before returning to her clan, and also to not eat the flesh of any female creature, or lose her powers.
Suldrun wore great bear paws as gauntlets, and was able to magically transform into a bear at will. In normal form, the elf wore a black and red tunic and leather armor, as well as a long bear cloak. Suldrun had tanned skin and long black hair, which she normally kept tied back in a bun.
In 348 AC, Suldrun had already joined with a band of fellow adventurers, when they were commissioned by Baron Leonid Althen to investigate some strange killings in Sharlan Park. The band found three Copper Dragon hatchlings had been killed, and went in pursuit of the dragon hunters, with the baron's daughter Derry Althen in tow. They were soon joined by the Dragon Knight Tavin Longspear and his mount Gabus, and the group tracked the hunters down to Pillars of the Moons, a site on the edges of the Steamwall Mountains. On defeating the hunters, their leader Anishta revealed that the plot to kill Dragons was widespread and that the true intent was to undermine the Gold Dragon Amanthus. The adventurers visited Amanthus in Cloud Mesa, warning him of the plot, and the dragon in turn asked for the heroes to uncover the leader of the dragon hunters.
Shortly after, the heroes met with Tavin in the village of Trilon, where they learnt that the criminal Gezele Ella had something to do with the plot, and was known to be in contact with the leader of the dragon hunters. The heroes insinuated themselves into Gezele's good graces, posing as mercenaries, and ultimately travelling to Kor Island to meet her master, along with her Goblin comrade Grott. On Kor Island, the heroes faced Chorahh and Drishurocol, the leaders of the hunters, and defeated them in battle. However they also learnt on freeing the captured Tavin, that Erestem was the true master behind the dark plots against Amanthus and the good dragons. Using a portal, the adventurers tried to enter another plane to learn more of Erestem's plan, however they were accidentally trapped when Derry Althen mistakenly destroyed the portal.
In 349 AC, the heroes found themselves in the Demiplane of Eborium, where they encountered an avatar of Udras the Alchemist, who requested that they recover the magical Cindergems to undermine the scheming of Erestem. The heroes recovered all the cindergems and then defeated a large host of Erestem's lieutenants in battle. Udras was revealed as actually being Sargonnas, and the dark god tried to usurp Erestem, but was in turn defeated himself. Erestem's plot however was foiled, and the Othlorx were able to muster a large army to put down the remainder of Erestem's forces that tried to conquer Taladas.
Suldrun and her comrades were hailed as heroes by the Othlorx and the people of Taladas, and were given a sizable reward by Amanthus for their efforts.
