Name: Coryn Brinefolk aka "The White Witch"
World: Krynn aka "Dragonlance"
Spells: Unknown.
Magical Items: Unknown.

Coryn Brinefolk was born along the Plains of Dust in a region of Ansalon that borders Icereach. She lived there with her tribe in a fishing village, that carried with them some elven ancestry (Kerrick Fellabrine the Messenger of House Mariner).Coryn's grandmother Umma has also studied magic, but since the Chaos War like most wizards lost the ability to cast spells. Coryn herself, born in the Age of Mortals, new nothing of the gods of magic nor of the Towers of High Sorcery. Yet however, the spellbooks had always mesmerized her from a very early age in which she used to poor over despite their gibberish. It was known around the village that Coryn was "special", but it wasn't fully realized until she performed a spell that took very experienced wizards to perform. Her grandmother, recognizing her true potential arranged for her to travel to Palanthus and apprenticed to Jenna.

It was during this time that she became involved with Jenna and Dalamar's plan to restore the orders of the Towers of High Sorcery. They planned to find the Tower of Wayreth and call a Conclave. However, the tower eluded them all except of Coryn. She had been drawn to the Tower and discovered that it was in the thrall of of two other sorcerers who shared her abilities.With the help of the god Solinari, she tricked them and managed to pass the Test of High Sorcery. During her test, she discovered how to cast the spell of awakening which called forth the wizard of High Sorcery. With the Wizard's Conclave called, they retook the tower.At the Conclave, Jenna was appointed High Mage of the order, and her apprentice was granted her master's manor in Palanthus.During the Conclave the issue of "Wild Magic" aka Sorcery was voiced, in which many wizards were concerned with. As this magic was outside the normal realm of the order. Coryn being such a person who utilized wild magic showed that she and others were accepted by the Tower itself and were no different from them. She has been an example of those born with the natural talent affinity for wild magic

While in Palanthus she aided a small group of Knights of Solamnia who wanted to take the nation back from the Dark Knights of Takhisis.The Knights impressed with her power, were able to make a great ally of her and help rid the nation slowly of the Dark Knights and becoming known as the White Lady. She soon took up the mantle of being the leader of the White Robes sometime after that as a champion for justice.
