The World at Large
Dragonlance is a world of high adventure. Good and evil are very much defined
in the world. There is alot more of the classic roles of light and dark.
The year is 424AC, 41SC (AC = After Catyclism, SC = Summer of Chaos). It is a little over
two years since the return of the gods, the downfall of Takheisis and Paladine walks the land as
a mortal elf.
Following the brutal destruction of Kendermore at the hands of the Dragon Overlord
Malystryx, some Kender have undergone a drastic personality change. Called Afflicted
Kender, these kender have lost the joy in life, are serious somber and suspicious.
The Wizards of High Sorcery, the group who monitors and manages Arcane magic in the world
are few and far between. With no (current) access to their Towers of High Sorcery they have
no base of operations. Indeed they are without a leader for the White Robes which means
there is no true conclave. The search for a leader for the White Robes continues, as
does the search for a way into one of the two remaining towers.
Sorcerers are new to the world, having been born from the era where there were no moons
and thusly no gods of magic to grant arcane power. They draw their power from the lands
around them. Many traditional "Tower Mages" feel this is an aberration of magic and should
be looked down upon. There is an uneasy tension between the two factions.
Both races of Elves have lost their homelands. Qualinost was buried under a lake of death,
while Silvanesti has been conquered by the Minotaurs.
Ogres have discovered a magical transformation which allow them to become Ogre Titans.
Making the beautiful and refined, similar to an elf's. Over 15 feet tall, muscular and
with magical prowess. The ritual required to make a Titan costs the blood of 10 elves.
To maintain the transformation needs only the blood of a single elf, who need not die, but
instead is bled regularly.
The Solomnic Knights have lost control of Palanthas to the Dark Knights. Solanthus, while
freed of the Dark Knights control, have declared themselves neutral and will not submit
to either faction. The headquarters is currently located on the isle of Sancrist at
Castle Uth Wistan.
