DM Note: I sent this information to you when you first joined up. Consider this a primer for the Topic I am working on and should have posted later tonight.
Over Thirty Years has passed since Karnea Dragonbane Appointed to the Task of Caretaker of The Tower of Schallsea. There was a Joyous time, in knowing your Master Karnea, and the Father Moon of Dark Magik, Nuitari.
It was a Simpler Time then. The Barbarian Tribes of Schallsea, The Que-Na and the. Both Knew their Place, Master Karnea Dragonbane showed the Tribes the boundaries, and then showed them the price for disobeying. The Barbarian Tribes had been here since the Time of the 1st Cataclysm, Karnea knew that, and therefore, would not herself, force them away, as long as they stayed out of the Forbidden Desert.
Then, The Summer grew hotter then any time before, The Oceans Boiled, The Blazes jumped from Tree to Tree, Dragons, with Scales of Molten Lava erupted forth from the Burning Portal in the Tiberius Ocean. The Mages of the Conclave met in Urgency, The Terrible Father of all and nothing had arisen, and even the Gods feared his return. The Masters of the Orders gathered, The Head of the Conclave, The Exiled Silvanesti, Dalamar the Dark. Of the White Order, The Sea Wizard of Northern Ergoth. Dunbarth Mastermate. Lady Jenna, Daughter of Justarius, now Commanded the Order of the Red.
Many of the other Great Wizards of Krynn came forth; some thought dead, others thought, never to return. They were wizard who did not hold rank inside the Conclave, and yet, still commanded respect in their own Right. Parn Chromwell, Jayln-Dyne, Galadorn, the Wise. Karnea Dragonbane, and Raistlin Majere. Deliberations were Quick, for Death waited outside the Wayreth's Walls. Palin Majere would carry the Spellbook of Magius to the Portal, and cast the Greatest Light Spell known to anyone. The Most Powerful of the Orders, would travel to the Great Portal can close it, before Krynn was overrun by the Chaos Monsters. The Rest of the Orders would travel to their homelands, and stand with their Brethren, to the End.
Even in these, the End Times, You could not go home. You would not be allowed in due to your allegiance to the Dark Magik. Karnea came to you before she departed to the Portal, she asks Kalana to stay, and defend the Tower of Schallsea. Karnea tells Kalana that the only way to destroy the Chaos creatures is by Magic or blessed Weapons of which, is several in the lower storeroom, "Blessed" by various Gods of Good and Evil. After gathering her things, Karnea did not say she would return, or even that everything would turn out all right, she folded her robe around her, and "Poof!" She was gone.
The Chaos-Wraiths that infested the lands of Krynn were beings that if they passed thru you, then you would cease to exist and any that knew you, would never remember meeting you.
After the Final battle against Chaos in which he was defeated, but, he would not go alone, All the Gods of Krynn had to leave, and so began the Age of Mortals. Priests cried out again, for their spells did not work. And for the Wizards of Krynn, even through the First Cataclysm, The Gods of Magic did not leave their Followers, but now, Magic was gone. Every Spell caster could see the Moons were gone, and with them, the Magic.
It takes Kalana Eight Years to adapt, and gain the power she once had. Kalana makes more trips to the Tower of High Sorcery in Wayreth then at any time in the past during this time, as Palin Majere, Analis Faithor (Karnea's First Student) and the Shadow Sorcerer work Tireouly to find the new Magic. Analis was a Magius of Chaos Magic before Karnea turned her onto the Dark Arts, She was the first Caretaker of Schallsea Tower, but, when Analis found true Love with a Scion, she opted for the Neutral Order.
Karnea no longer knew if she could trust Analis, and so, the two parted ways. It is Analis's knowledge of Chaotic Magic that sets her above all spellcasters on Krynn. Her ways are that of the Spellcasters before the Conclave Rules was set down by the Original Brothers of Magic before the Seconded Dragon War.
After the knowledge is gained that is needed, and studies of gaining magic from the Soul, and from the Ground itself, Kalana feels secure in defending the tower once again. It is believed by the Druids, that taking the magic from the ground is raping the Planet, That is form of Magic is called defiler Magic, and was used by the inhabitance of Athas, the World of the Dark Sun, to bring their planet to the brink of destruction. This could happen here they say.
It is during this Time the First Dragons from beyond Krynn came, And so began the Dragon Purge, a Time when the Dragons of Krynn fought for their survival, and Dominance. Malys, The Largest Dragon, knew the Art of Stealing the Life Force of another Dragon, and using it, to grow stronger, larger, and more Powerful.
It was also during this time, that Goldmoon, Revered Daughter of the Healer Goddess, Mishakal, and also, Hero of the Lance, Came to the Island of Schallsea with others, including Jasper Fireforge, and a Mysterious man known only as the Sage. They traveled to the Tower, surviving the roaming monsters and deadly traps; they only asked to talk to The Mistress of the Tower, Karnea Dragonbane.
All this Time, you had been in contact with Karnea only about Four Times since the Departure of the Gods, and so you contacted her again. Karnea met Goldmoon, and the two discussed matters in the Tower. Then the meeting was at a End, And Goldmoon and the others left, and Karnea told Kalana, life was going to bustle in the Port of Schallsea, and the Northern End of the of the Island, she had just given permission to Goldmoon to build a Citadel, where she will teach students the arts of Mysticism, Priest's answer to Magic. And while Kalana was slightly aghast, she accepted her master's decision, and then, Poof! Karnea was gone again.
Kalana would have collected information for Karnea on the world that is. It is 33 Years after the Seconded Cataclysm, The Continent of Ansalon (Where our Game Takes place) was divvied between 10 Winners of the Dragon Purge (Dragons that has absorbed the life energy of the other Dragons) These Dragons are now called Overlords, and a few free zones, where Mortals can Live without fear.
These Free Zones are divided between the Knights of Solamnia, the Dark Knights of Neraka, and The neutral Legion of Steel.
Silvanesti, your homeland you were run out of, is covered by great Shield by the Xenophobic Elves themselves. It is rumored that the shield is slowly killing the elves inside.
The Port of Schallsea is Busy, with stores, Mage wares (They are in decline of need, also a spy of yours), Bars, Inns, and many Merchants. There is a Road that is defended by Knights of Solamnia is protect the mystics that are coming and going from the Citadel of Light.
