Durlas

Durlas is a fictional character featured in the Dragonlance novel series. He is a member of the draconian race, a humanoid race with reptilian features. Draconians are typically portrayed as evil and subservient creatures, often serving as soldiers or enforcers for darker powers. Durlas, however, deviates from this common portrayal.

He is introduced as a soldier serving under the tyrannical Lord Toede of Flotsam. Despite his draconian nature and his initial allegiance, Durlas exhibits a capacity for independent thought and a degree of morality. He is known for his intelligence and a surprisingly introspective nature for his kind.

Throughout the narrative, Durlas's character arc involves his growing disillusionment with the cruelties he witnesses and participates in. He begins to question the orders he receives and the overall purpose of his service. This internal conflict eventually leads him to make difficult choices that set him apart from his brethren. Durlas's story explores themes of free will, conscience, and the possibility of redemption even for creatures considered inherently evil. His actions often have a significant impact on the events of the novels he appears in, making him a memorable and complex character within the Dragonlance saga.
