Elandro, called "Elanndro the Dragonrider," is a Wood Elf general and Waywatcher charged with patrolling the borders of the Meadow Glades of the forest of Athel Loren.
Elandro was leading a patrol of Deepwood Scouts patrol along the Chasm Glades when he came across a Forest Dragon fighting for its life against a party of Dwarf Dragonslayers. The Deepwood Scout watched mesmerised as the mortally wounded Forest Dragon clung on to life ferociously, long enough to tear all of its aggressors limb-from-limb with its razor-sharp fangs. Then, expelling a last mournful breath, it expired amid the carnage.[1a]
Elandro stood in the grisly aftermath of the battle and noted with disgust and sorrow, that the Dwarfs had smashed the Forest Dragon's clutch of eggs -- little wonder that she had fought with such a frenzy. Only his Scout's highly trained perception could have noticed the one egg that had rolled away unscathed and now lay partially hidden beneath a cluster of heather.[1a]
Moved by compassion, Elandro took the egg back to his woodland dwelling. With some magical assistance from Elandro's eccentric kinswoman Taera Catnimble, the egg was able to hatch and Elandro found himself the adoptive father of a baby Dragonette roughly the size of a forest cat. He named the hatchling Mellanor.[1a]
Well fed and cared for, the baby Forest Dragon grew quickly, soon surpassing the normal size of a wild Forest Dragon its age. Elandro himself was also surpassing expectations, as his heroic exploits had earned him a place among the elite company of Deepwood Scouts known as Waywatchers. He was charged with patrolling the borders of the Meadow Glades, home of the legendary Elf-steeds of the Kindred of Equos. An accomplished rider himself, Elandro can often be seen performing his duty sitting astride a huge Forest Dragon.[1a]
