History: (Dragonlance #1) - When knights made an oath dedicated to hate or lust they were sometimes resurrected as undead Deathknights. Deathknight Lord Soth and an assembled army of Deathknights helped the Dark Queen wage war on Krynn. Lord Soth met with his Dragon Highlord, who was worried that followers of the old gods who'd destroyed Krynn in the Cataclysm still had followers that opposed the Dark Queen's dark gods. Soth said he had no fear of rabble-rousers, and trusted she could wipe them out with her dragon armies. The Highlord said only the dead had no fear, but she thought there was reason to worry. Soth, his Deathknights, and the Dragon Highlord and her steed attack a monastery of the Clerical Order of Majere, burning it to the ground. Cleric Vandar Brightblade and his ally Riva Silvercrown escaped the destruction, and Vandar recovered a Dragonlance from the monastery's armory.
