Riverwind, grandson of Wanderer, is a stoic and good
natured warrior. He is sometimes distrustful of others, though, and is
often over-protective of Goldmoon. He was a poor member of the Que-shu
tribe and it was for this reason that the chieftain was so angered and
upset when he discovered that his daughter, Goldmoon, was in love with
him. He ordered that Riverwind journey to find evidence of the True Gods
in order to receive his blessing. Riverwind travelled to the ruins of Xak
Tsaroth "where death flew on black wings" and was given the blue crystal
staff by an apparition of the goddess Mishakal. He returned to his tribe
disoriented and tired but he knew that he would now be able to wed his
beloved. The chieftain saw Riverwind and was angered that the warrior was
still alive and making blasphemous claims of the origin of the staff which
he had given to Goldmoon. Riverwind was sentenced to stoning. Goldmoon
heard of this and ran to the aid of the tribesman. The staff she held glowed
bright blue and then they appeare in Solace, far away from the tribe. Here
they met and joined the companions.
Riverwind and Goldmoon wed after the slaves were freed from Pax Tharkas. Their children were good friends with those of Caramon and Tika Majere. |
