Dragon Highlords
Dragon Highlords were the greatest leaders of armies of Takhisis in the War of the Lance. Each color of evil dragon had a highlord, so they were Highlords of Red, Blue, Green, Black and White Dragonarmies, sometimes called 'wings'.
Here are those things I know about them:
Red Dragonarmy
- mightiest of all
- led by Ariakas the Emperor of Ansalon
- based in Neraka-Santion area
- defeated in Battle of Margaard Ford despite uniting of forces with Blue Dragonarmy and a powerful reserve wing.
- had under its command dragons, draconians of all types, humans, ogres and many other creatures
Blue Dragonarmy
- maybe second in power
- led by Kitiara uth Matar, second-in-command was General Bakaris
- centre of command was Castle Dargaard in Eastern Solamnia
- based in lands north from Sanction
- the main force of attack to Solamnia
- defeated in High Clerist Tower
- defeated in Battle of Margaard Ford
Green Dragonarmy
- led by Verminaard, after his death in command of Hobgoblin Toede
- defeated in Pax Tharkas, later stationed on Throtl under Toede. (so was said in the Vingaard Campaign, told in Tales VI)
- defeated in Throtl because of surpire attack by good dragons
- seemed to be mostly draconians in time of Verminaard
- was assebled mostly of ogres but also of draconians and hobgoblins when was in Throtl
Black Dragonarmy
- first led and assembled by Maldeev, on Shalimsha in Khur area
- leader was maybe person called Lucien of Takar in the time of War's last months
- in addition to humans and some dragons had kapak and baaz draconians
White Dragonarmy
- led by Feal-Thas who was slain by Laurana on Icewall Castle, and after Feal-Thas was said to be led by Toede, the Mighty Highlord
- stationed on south part of Ansalon, center of command was Icewall Castle
- later was defeated in Battle of Narrows, southwest from Dargaard Keep by armies of Solamnia
- forces in south were white dragons, walrus-men, humans and draconians
- forces on Battle of Narrows were dragons, draconians, mostly sivaks but baazes also
Reserve Wing
- army assemled by Ariakas to Sanction, described only as 'huge'.
- joined Blue and Red armies to Battle of Margaard Ford, but was defeated and shattered
Hobgoblin Toede was no minor character in this. He was, by different sources, told to have been Highlord of White Dragonarmy (after death of Feal-Thas) and of Green also. (after death of Verminaard) And he was later the Lord of Flotsam also. A mighty hobgoblin indeed...
