Windriders are an ancient elven organization that exists among the Kagonesti Elves, Silvanesti Elves, and the Qualinesti Elves. Regardless of their national affiliation all Windriders are Warriors that fight on Griffons.

Kagonesti Windriders tend to care more about their mounts than other Elves. Silvanesti members tend to get lost in their own superiority, but will be pleasant to their allies. The Windriders of Qualinesti tend to be more down to earth compared with their Silvanesti cousins. They are trained with the Longsword, the bow, and the lance to use in battle.

The only permanent settlement of Windriders is the village of Avalune in the Anviltop Mountains. Also, most Kagonesti Windriders are found on the island of Cristyne.

Becoming a Windrider
Kith-Kanan formed the organization with the hope that any skilled elf could join. The Silvanesti eventually restricted its membership to House Protector (with some wizards from House Mystic). In Qualinesti, the Windriders were generally kept open as their nation's founder wanted. After the War of Souls, the combined Windriders are closer to Qualinesit view on membership.

In the post War of Souls years the way to become a Windrider is to petition for membership. The potential member is tested. Their fighting skills and ability to get along with griffons is checked. Those that fail are offered positions in the Wildrunners. While this is the usual method, the need for skilled members has caused the Windriders to sometimes recruit new elves. Once an initiate skills are tested and trained they are sent to Avalune to be bonded with a griffon.
