History
This was the located that Vinas Solamnus received the order to form a knighthood from Paladine, Kiri-Jolith, and Habbakuk. Here Vinas created the Knights of Solamnia that would be beacons for justice. Over the years, the location became very sacred to the Order, the Whitestone even received the blessing from one of the Kingpriests of Istar. During the Cataclysm, the area was completely untouched by any destruction that happened.
It became a meeting spot during the War of the Lance between the different races such as humans, elves, and dwarves. At first they would bicker back in forth about some slight or another, but eventually Theros Ironfeld showed up and used a newly forged Dragonlance to split the Whitestone in half. After seeing this, the humans, elves, and dwarves agreed to an alliance to fight back the Dragonarmies under the united Whitestone Army.
