Platinum Cadre
a priestess of the order named Nala claimed to be a priestess of Bahamut but was secretly a priestess of Tiamat.[10] Because most dragonborn knew little about the gods of Toril, they were unable to distinguish the magic of Tiamat from that of Bahamut.[11] Nala was working for the green dragon Skuthosiin, and her goal was to advance the plan of her master as a taaldarax of Brimstone's xorvintaal by using the Cadre to his benefit.[12]
Tiamat's power enabled the knights to use their breath abilities more often than other dragonborn,[3] and they used this exceptional power to defeat the ash giants who were invading Tymanther even though other Thymari troops, even the Lance Defenders, were defeated by the giants.[13]
The Platinum Cadre took part on Vanquisher Kepeshkmolik Tarhun joint military operation against the giants on Kythorn 9. Although Nala didn't wanted them to attack at the same time the other Thymari military forces did it, because she was using magic to hinder the military effort,[14] Balasar (a member of the Lance Defenders who became suspicious of Nala and infiltrated the Cadre to uncover her true motives) was able to convince his "brothers-in-arms" to join the fray, to her annoyment.[15] The joined Thymari forces were able to drive the giants off their lands.[16]
After having uncovered some hints, Balasar exposed Nala as a tiamatan on Kythorn 16[10] and she fled to the Black Ash Plain and sought refuge with Skuthosiin. Patrin, a paladin of Bahamut and the leader of the order, was killed in a duel of honor with Medrash, a paladin of Torm, when Patrin refused to acknowledge that Nala was really evil.[17] After Patrin's death, a knight named Vishva took the leadership of the order. She convinced Medrash to cleanse the members of the Cadre of Tiamat power.
Nala's treachery stained what reputation the members of the Cadre may have won in the past operations, and they became victims of ostracism and open acts of violence. They respected Patrin's last wishes and didn't fought back, however. Although rejected, they still wanted to participate in the operation to invade the Black Ash Plain.[2] Tarhun allowed them to remain in the battlefield, but as part of the rear forces instead of giving them honor by fighting in the front lines.[19] During the siege of Ashhold on Flamerule 5, they were put under the command of Khouryn Skulldark of the Brotherhood of the Griffon.
When Khouryn Skulldark returned to Tymanther and warned them about Tchazzar's plans to invade the dragonborn nation, Tarhun made Medrash the official leader of the Cadre, and sent them, alongside Balasar, Biri and Khouryn, in a mission to destroy Gestaniius and liberate High Imaskar from her forces, in the hopes the Imaskari would lend their aid to the Thymari.
After the Battle of Luthcheq, Medrash became the protector of the Platinum Cadre, to ensure the Thymari didn't forget that the Cadre had fought and saved their country.Albeit reluctantly, the Cadre was acknowledged as one the best military forces Tymanther had to offer.
In the late years of the 1480s DR, the Platinum Cadre had slowly been accepted among Thymari society, to the point that some of the most old-fashioned and influential clans, such as Clan Verthisathurgiesh, employed the services of the Cadre's priests.[24]
