This Timeline is an amalgam of sources, but chiefly among them Weldon Chen, and Uziel. Some Names will pop up in the timeline and you will be asking who? This is from a grand unified source of the World, and Characters from my games intertwine with the History of the world.




The Tobril
Iconochronos

The River of Time

The First Age: Age of Starbirth


Pre Cataclian


The Highgod came out of Beyond and drew the plans for a new world. He called into Chaos, and two beings, Paladine and Takhisis, king and queen of dragons, came to create the world. Chaos called again, and Gilean was called as well. Gilean was given the plans for the world, never to be shown to anyone.
The three gods called into Beyond for lesser gods to help them. Reorx, the greatest of these, came and struck Chaos with his hammer, and shaped the world. The gods created life and everything on the planet.

Takhisis and Paladine then asked Reorx to fashion dragons in their image. He did so, but Takhisis coveted the dragons and corrupted them. Paladine wept for his lost children and had Reorx create five monuments to the lost dragons. Paladine breathed life into these monuments and the All-Dragons War began.

The world was almost destroyed, and the gods withdrew to the planes, to give Krynn time to recover. They then noticed the stars, spirits in the heavens and coveted them. The All-Saints War began over how the spirits should be ruled. Terrible storms wracked the surface of Krynn.

The Highgod returned from Beyond and ended the war. The spirits were given three gifts from the gods and placed upon Krynn so that they might rule it. Ogres, elves, and humans were created, as well as many magical creatures to protect the ordinary creatures of Krynn.
As a pledge to never wage war on Krynn again, the gods created three moons to bless the world with magic.

the Cataclysm
By Jeff Grubber

Most of the Dragonlance game material focuses on the period long after the First Cataclysm. While these are interesting times to be sure, the period during and after the Cataclysm can present interesting and exciting situations for roleplaying. The meteor shower that occurred during the Cataclysm had devastating effects, but little detail is given as to the actual events that transpired within it and as a result of it. This short piece presents possible events that would occur shortly before, during, and after such a catastrophe. Dungeon Masters and Narrators can easily use these suggestions to help develop their own campaigns.


Chronology of Events

Before the Cataclysm: The Thirteen Signs of Warning
• Disappearance of true priests throughout the land
• Green skies and the cyclone in Istar
• Fear and panic among the kender
• Moonless nights (only Nuitari present)
• Black flame of Thoradin
• Fires will not burn throughout the land of Solamnia
• Storms and wildfires across the plains of Abanasinia
• People turning on each other throughout the land (including Lord Soth's actions)
• Unnatural fog in Palanthas
• Trees bleeding in Silvanesti
• Animals rampaging in Qualinesti
• Tides and floods of blood in the North
• Eruption of the Lords of Doom and other mountains

Immediate Effects
(1–2 hours before impact up to 7–10 days after impact)
• Thunder and fire in the heavens (meteors passing through atmosphere)
• Stampedes and animal agitation
• Impact occurs, causing water and rock vaporization
• Shockwave, with a rain of molten rock
• Earthquakes, avalanches, mudslides, and volcanoes
• Firestorms, winds, and tidal waves, stampedes
• Dust cloud or rain of ash and blood (Istar region)
• Perpetual darkness

Long Term Effects
(From impact time to years after the event)
• Death of sea life
• Drought and forest fires
• Temperature drop
• Crop failure
• Animal starvation
• Epidemics
• Wars and raiding mercenaries
• Increase in undead
• Encroachment of animal life


Impact and Aftermath Timeline
0–10AC: struggle for survival, governmental collapse on all but local (village) scale, epidemics, famine, crop failures
10–20AC: recovery begins (crop failures, famine end), wars, purges, civil disorder, epidemics
20–50AC: minor recovery continues on a localized scale
50–100AC: low prosperity, population stabilizes (deaths = births)
100–200AC: recovery begins on a regional scale
200AC and beyond: Cataclysm relegated to history, its immediate physical effects no longer affect commoners

Geographic Effects
The initial impacts, since the asteroids struck earth and water, had two effects. The white-hot asteroid vaporized the water, creating a cloud of scalding steam, while the heat and force generated from the impact threw pieces of the planet's crust and the asteroid into the atmosphere. This led to a rain of molten rock, which started fires of various types. The ground shockwave from the various impacts fractured the planet along any fault lines, causing volcanoes and earthquakes. The volcanoes caused fires as lava crept across the land, as did the burning ash thrown into the skies. Earthquakes turned soil slopes into mudslides as rains and aftershocks liquefy them. In the high mountains, avalanches resulted due to increased heat. All of these destroyed many towns or cities that survived the initial impact.

Weather Effects
As the shockwave moved outward from the points of impact, a wall of air was pushed before it. Within this wall of air, storms of hurricane force occurred, and the superheated air ignited whatever it touched that was combustible for a range of several hundred miles out from the impact point. In some locations, precipitation did not occur, while in others monsoon force rains became commonplace. The ash, dust, and water vapor thrown into the atmosphere blocked out the sun for months, and as the water mixed with ash, a black rain fell. This rain coated plants, and buildings, causing further devastation as plants died and buildings collapsed. The friction from the impact, as well as the ash in the air, caused an initial rise in temperature, melting glaciers, causing extensive lowland flooding, and destroying crops and arable lands. A sudden drop followed this rise in temperature as sunlight could not penetrate the blocked atmosphere. When the temperature dropped, glaciers at the poles and in the mountains expanded, further lowering water levels. Cooler temperatures and a lack of sunlight destroyed remaining plant life.


Social Effects
The social effects of an event like the Cataclysm cannot be understated. Large portions of the population, especially in the Istarian region of Ansalon, died in the impact or its immediate effects. Those that survived faced food shortages, wars, raids by animals, insects and monsters, marauding undead, plagues, fires, shortages of fresh water, hoarding, rationing, and shortages of common items. Those that survived came to wish they had not. The first few years following the Cataclysm also saw mass migrations, ships full of dead bodies drifting at sea, fields of shipwrecks lying in open plains, and religious zealotry. Witch burnings and crusades were the most common exhibition of this phenomenon. Large-scale society ceased to exist for the most part, as the infrastructure was in ruins. Few, if any bridges survived the initial event, making travel across rivers difficult or impossible. Society was reduced to village level in most cases, as communication with outsiders was difficult, pointless, and discouraged. The mass migrations left many abandoned towns, forts and keeps, while in other places, the hopeful gathered, causing further shortages, riots, and social unrest. The economy collapsed, leaving money worthless, and in other cases, prices were beyond affordability. Within cities, walls or buildings may collapse, streets cave in onto catacombs or sinkholes, giving characters new areas to explore or rescue survivors. As protection of what meager supplies became of paramount importance, it is obvious why steel became the most valuable coinage.


Floral and Faunal Effects
The initial impact generated so much heat through friction that the oceans over a large area boiled, killing much of the existing sea life. As these organisms decayed and wash up on shores, waters would be poisoned, killing further life. The drop in temperature retarded crop growth, as did the lack of sunlight. As plants die, animals were forced further into civilized lands to search for food. Those living things that drowned in the floods decomposed, poisoning water, eventually causing epidemics of diseases as insect and scavenger populations exploded. Forest fires drove herds of animals into stampedes, causing further devastation and plant depletion. Large burned or flooded forests dotted the landscape, as did sea floor area that had been thrust above the surface. Exploration of this alien world presents many unique opportunities to characters.


Character Effects
Characters in this time face many challenges, but they also have many opportunities. Supplies are costly, and money is worthless. Bartering is the most effective form of commerce, and some items are not available at any price. Weapons and tools are especially valuable, as skilled craftsmen are few and far between. Characters may find themselves forced to use crude iron or bronze weapons if steel is not available.

Magic-users face difficulty in obtaining their fabricated spell components, and until vegetation rebounds, herbal components as well. Any minor magical ability displays could be seen either as a sign of a savior or as the mark of a witch. Both situations have interesting possibilities. Priests have no abilities, though, as with mages, herbalism skills could be useful. Legend says that no true clerics walk the land after the Cataclysm, but this need not be true. If a campaign begins before the Cataclysm, a character could refuse the call of their god and be stripped of their powers. This presents a challenge as a character could still try to follow the teachings and spread his or her god's message, to varying effects, without the aid of his or her deity.

Warrior characters face little difference, unless they were a Knight before the Cataclysm. Knights of Solamnia, as is widely known, were blamed for not averting the event, thus a character may be forced to go into hiding or disguise themselves. This all presumes that the characters survive the initial earthquakes and floods. Characters may also be conscripted into civil militias to aid in city defense or to look for survivors in ruins.



Adventuring Hooks
There are numerous possibilities for adventuring after the Cataclysm. Accumulation of monetary wealth is relatively useless, except in the least damaged areas. Retrieval of a magical item, clearing a path for refugees, mapping an area, protecting a village, and carrying messages to distant cities are all possibilities for adventures in this new, dark age. As mentioned, the Cataclysm resulted in many new unique areas for characters to explore. Examples of these include undersea cities and landscapes thrust above the surface, shipwrecks of all types, from before or during the Cataclysm, and many abandoned cities, forts, keeps or cave complexes. There are also Bakali and High Ogre cities, abandoned for ages, that the Cataclysm may expose. There is no limit to the possibilities in this new world. It truly is a time in need of heroes.

The Chaos War
and the Beginning of the Fifth Age
By Peter Archer

Several astute readers, poring over Dragons of Summer Flame and the Dragons of a New Age trilogy, have asked a reasonable question: How long was the first year of the Fifth Age?
The answer's not quite as obvious as you might think. Since the Summer of Chaos ended in the Second Cataclysm, the year was only partly over when the Fifth Age began. The problem is connected to the question of when the Chaos War began and ended. Sue Cook and I have put our heads together over Dragons of Summer Flame in an effort to come up with an answer to this question.
Dragons of Summer Flame is not, unfortunately, a book that's very heavy on dates. The only firm mention of a date in the entire book, in fact, is when Raistlin tells Palin to find Usha and take her to the Great Library of Palanthas. "I will meet you there the day after tomorrow, on midnight of Midsummer's Eve," the mage tells his nephew.

Since we know that Midsummer's Eve on Krynn fell on June 21, we know that this conversation occurred on June 19. We also know, looking at the events described in the rest of the book, that the Second Cataclysm occurred two days after Raistlin met Usha and Palin in the Library. Therefore, the Second Cataclysm occurred on June 23. (Although we should keep in mind that the "days" grew longer during this time, for our purposes, even a longer day still counts as one day!) Effectively, the moment of the Cataclysm (that is, the moment when Usha imprisoned Chaos's blood in the Graygem) was 0, and the Fifth Age began immediately after that point. Thus, the first year of the Fifth Age was only six months long: from June 24 to December 31.
Trying to calculate backward from this to the point when the war began is trickier. What fans of the Dragonlance Saga are accustomed to call the Chaos War in fact refers to two different wars: the invasion of Ansalon by the Dark Knights under the command of Ariakan, and the conflict with the forces of Chaos, which occurred later in the year. Weis and Hickman give a few dates that we can use to estimate precisely when these events happened, but some of this is necessarily guesswork.
Dragons of Summer Flame opens with a visit to the island of the Irda by two Dark Knights, at a point that the book describes as late spring. Two days after that, the Protector sends Usha away from the island; later that night the Irda break the Graygem, releasing Chaos. From that point to the siege of Kalaman, approximately three days pass (enough time for Usha to make the journey to Palanthas, meet Tasslehoff and Jenna, and be introduced to Dalamar; also, during this time Steel Brightblade travels to Solace in the company of Palin).

The other events of Books 2 and 3 take place in approximately four days to a week. At the beginning of Book 4, we're told that a month has passed since the taking of Palanthas (that is, since the battle at the High Clerist's Tower and the death of Tanis Half-Elven). Several paragraphs later Weis and Hickman write, "Within a matter of weeks, Lord Ariakan was ruler and master of more territory than the Dragon Highlords had been able to gain during the War of the Lance." I think we can allow for approximately six weeks between the fall of Palanthas and the time the story again picks up with the appearance of Raistlin at the Inn of the Last Home.
If we calculate back six weeks from June 19, we get May 8. If we go back another week, allowing for the time of Books 2 and 3, we get May 1. Three more days makes April 28 the day Usha arrived in Palanthas. Therefore, it seems reasonable to suggest that Dragons of Summer Flame begins on or around April 26.
Such are the conclusions we have come to about the timeline for this book. What do you think?

In Darken Wood, Dezra and Trephas are attacked by a group of strange-looking centaurs. Caramon, Borlos and Uwen arrive and aid in driving off the centaur warriors, who Trephas refers to as Skorenoi. Trephas then explains that he hired Dezra as bait to draw Caramon into the forest, so that he could help the centaur warriors in defeating Lord Chrethon, who has captured the Forestmaster.

He goes on to explain that Lord Chrethon is aiding a servant of Chaos, the daemon tree Grimbough, who is corrupting the forest and has already altered Chrethon's tribe into the evil Skorenoi. The group begins to journey to Ithax, meeting place of the centaur chieftains. En route to Ithax, Skorenoi ambush the party again and Uwen is killed in the assault.

(423)34:
Fate of the Forest
Keen observers of the Silvanesti Shield have seen the once verdant land around it begin to wither in recent years. The trees, grass, and other plants on both sides of the shield have turned brown and dead, and locals fear the same fate soon will befall the entire forest. Despite decades of trying, no one has been able to penetrate this magical barrier.
General Mirielle Abrena, head of the Dark Knights and governor of Neraka, survives an assassination attempt—not the first to target her since her rise to power at the dawn of the new age. As the assassin was killed in the attempt, no one has been able to determine the identity of the culprit or the motivation for the attack.
The Dark Knights themselves conspire in an attack on another powerful figure: Princess Meredith, only daughter of the Emperor of Ergoth. Not long ago, the emperor sent Mercy to the Citadel of Light, so that she might learn to control her latent magical power—the ability to see and speak with spirits. During her time on Schallsea Isle, the girl grows strong in her talent and, with the help of classmates, foils a kidnapping attempt by the Knights, working as agents of the black dragon Sable.
Meanwhile, in the common room of the Inn of the Last Home, Elderly Caramon Majere pens the Bestiary. This engaging tome recounts this hero’s encounters with creatures both kind and cruel during his adventuring days. The Great Library of Palanthas publishes the book, featuring editor’s notes from Bertrem the Aesthetic.

A Kagonesti maid returns to the wild:
Marshal Medan organizes for his old friend, Lord Eamutt Thagol to keep order in Qualinost and report to him directly. Lord Thagol sends out Sir Chance Garoll (nicknamed Headsman Chance) to behead any elves deemed enemies of the knights and the green overlord and brings the heads back to Qualinost to be staked. The elfmaid Kerianseray, lover of Gilthas, discovers the head of her cousin Lania staked in Qualinost and determines to find her brother Iydahar, to warn him of the danger of the dark knights, believing that he may be a target of theirs.

While on the road, she is aided by the dwarven trader Stanach Hammerfell, who leads Kerian to Sliathnost. Reaching her old town, she finds that the elves in the Hare and Hound Inn treat her with suspicion. Shortly after two dark knights enter and mistreat a Kagonesti prisoner, until Kerian intervenes and strikes down one knight before fleeing with the prisoner. The two Kagonesti flee into the hills, where the prisoner introduces herself as Ayensha of the White Osprey tribe.

Kerian chooses to stay with the Kagonesti woman, and they make their way back to Ayensha's camp. With the death of one of his knights, Thagol sends his knights out in force to kill larger numbers of elven dissenters. Those in the Hare and Hound Inn are all targetted and butchered, and the inn itself is burned down. Kerian's childhood friend Bueren Rose sees her father's inn destroyed and escapes into the forest. Ayensha leads Kerian to her camp, where she meets the half-elf Jeratt Trueflight, the mysterious Elder and her brother Iydahar. Kerian is surprised to learn that Ayensha is her brother's wife, and that her brother wishes to have nothing to do with her. Jeratt takes Kerian under his wing, training her in the ways of the forest again.

On one such training exercise, they encounter the boy Ander, who chooses to follow Kerian. Amongst the elven farmers, the three find fellow elves who are tired of the knights and willing to join their cause, beginning a campaign of killing dark knights and disrupting their activities and control over the region. The elves under Kerian and Jeratt become known as the Night People, and soon become a plague on the dark knights, with Kerian herself becoming known as the Lioness.

The Lioness Appears:
Qualinesti elves begin to disappear from the forest. Sir Vytrad Redlance, Knight of Takhisis, is charged with the mission of tracking down missing elves by his superiors. Brigands ambush Vytrad and his knights and then flee to the port town of Blancopa to escape by ship. Vytrad and his men aboard a ship to track down the brigands, believing that they are drowning elves instead of leading them to safety to take their money. Vytrad's knights kill the brigands and then claim the elven captives they find onboard. However, a large armed ship suddenly approaches and forces the knights to surrender. The leader introduces herself as the infamous elven rebel commander, the Lioness. She spares the lives of Vytrad and his men, since they saved the elven captives from being killed by the brigands. Vytrad returns in defeat to his commander, Lord Liveskill. However, his commander gives him another chance by giving him the mission to capture the Lioness.

Hunt for the Lioness:
Lord Thagol sends his dark knights and uses his magical powers to try and locate the Lioness and the Night People, however he cannot track them down. Kerian leaves her outlaw band, handing over leadership temporarily to Jeratt, and then returns to Gilthas, telling him of her plans and activities. Gilthas asks Kerian to go to Thorbardin for him, to meet with the dwarven king Tarn and ask for his aid against the green overlord Beryl.

Kerian agrees and uses a magical emerald necklace which transports her to the dwarven kingdom. She lands in Stanach Hammerfell's bar, who helps her in meeting with King Tarn. Kerian presents her case to King Tarn and the thanes of Thorbardin. The Council of Thanes is undecided on whether to aid the elves or not, and orders Stanach to return to Qualinost with Kerian, to assess whether their aid is truly needed. Kerian returns to her outlaw band with Stanach, and resumes the fight against the dark knights.

In one of their raids, they come upon the fearsome Headsman Chance, and Kerian strikes him down. With his death, Thagol becomes aware of Kerian's location and musters his knights in large numbers to destroy them. Through the forests, Thagol and his knights pursue the Night People, until they finally have them trapped. Heavily outnumbered, the Night People fight bravely but cannot hold the knights. Thagol himself launches an attack that almost kills Kerian, however Ander throws himself in the way, sacrificing his life to save that of the Lioness.

Kerian orders the surviving Night People to retreat, so they can regroup for the final fight. The following day, Thagol's forces charge the Night People, however Iydahar appears amongst the dark knights, using his shaman-like powers to distract them. Kerian, Jeratt and their remaining band attack the dark forces from the other side.

Jeratt is cut down in the initial charge, however the Elder appears as a giant elemental and lays waste to the knights around her. Kerian faces off against Lord Thagol and kills him. At the close of the battle, the Elder vanishes, and Kerian finds the corpse of her brother Iydahar. Kerian and Stanach return to Qualinost to see Gilthas.

Stanach pledges to return to Thorbardin and ensure that the dwarven thanes and his king extend their aid to help the Qualinesti people. Gilthas proposes to Kerian, and the pair are secretly wed, with Stanach and Gilthas' mother Laurana as the two witnesses.

In the town of Solace, Solamnic knight Gerard uth Mondar is surprised by a kender claiming to be Tasslehoff Burrfoot. The kender eludes him and reaches Caramon Majere, in the Inn of the Last Home. Caramon confirms Tas is the true hero, as the kender explains how he used the Device of Time Travelling just before Ionthas (Chaos) could squash him during the Chaos War. Caramon has a heart attack and dies in Gerard's arms, begging him to promise to take care of Tas and lead the kender to Dalamar. On his honor, Sir Gerard agrees. Lord Warren, local commander of the Solamnic Knights, advises Gerard to consult with Palin Majere in Qualinesti, to learn of Dalamar's whereabouts. The pair depart soon after for the elven nation.

A New Speaker/Sanction's Defeat: Whilst trying to prove himself to his mother Alhana Starbreeze and the elf Samar, Silvanoshei races off on a mission and unwittingly falls through the Silvanesti Shield. He is discovered by the kirath (elven scouts), who are amazed that Silvanoshei has passed the shield. The kirath lead him to Silvanost, where he is soon hailed as the new Speaker of the Stars. Military-Governor Reyl Konnal defers to Silvanoshei, under the advice of his friend Glaucous, believing they can control the new ruler.

Mina and her talon arrive outside of Sanction, where she earns the respect and allegiance of Captain Samuval and his mercenary company. The Solamnics lead an assault against the forces outside the city, which Mina manages to rout through her battle tactics. Emerging from the bloodiest section of the battle unscathed, Mina prays for the souls of the dead, whilst the soldiers of the collective armies praise her as their leader, disregarding the commanding knight Lord Milles and his officers. Lord Targonne learns of the girl Mina and send a messenger welcoming her into the ranks, and requesting that she lead her army against Silvanesti, allowing General Dogah and his army to claim Sanction.

In despair, Lord Milles kills himself, whilst Mina alters the message to request that Dogah lead his men to Silvanesti instead, requesting Galdar to deliver the missive to Dogah in Khur. Galdar leaves and Captain Samuval is temporarily promoted to Mina's second-in-command in his absence.

King Tarn aids the Qualinesti: Commander of the Qualinesti dark knights, Marshal Medan, speaks with Prefect Palthainon about Speaker Gilthas. Palthainon, an elven senator, aids the dark knights in the manipulation of the speaker, constantly reporting back to Medan. Disguised as a dark knight, Gerard convinces Knights of Neraka in the Qualinesti region that he is one of them. He escorts Tas through the forest, where they are waylaid by the elves Kalindas and Kelevandros, as well as a mysterious human.

In an isolated area, the human reveals himself as Palin Majere, who is astonished to hear Gerard's tale, and even more surprised on seeing Tasslehoff. Laurana appears shortly after, also surprised when listening to the pair. Tas explains about the alternate future, which he visited, and is confused over why everything is different now.

As the group puzzles things over, the draconian Groul reports to Beryl about Palin's acquiring of a powerful magical artifact. The draconian tells of his elven spy in both Laurana and Medan's houses, and of their validity of their report. Beryl sends Groul to order Marshal Medan to have Palin arrested and brought to her for interrogation.

Whilst Medan muses over more reports of the elven resistance leader, the Lioness, Gilthas drinks with the lovely Kagonesti elf Kerianseray, who also disguises herself as the Lioness and leads the elven resistance. Kerian and Gilthas, who secretly married in Laurana and Planchet's presence (Gilthas' friend and chief aide) some time ago, meet with the noble dwarf Tarn Bellowgranite, High King of Thorbardin. Tarn reveals the secret tunnels that his people have built with the Urkhan worms, to aid the Qualinesti elves in spiriting their people to safety.

Inside the Shield/Goldmoon's Youth: On their march to Silvanesti, Mina's force comes across a blind beggar. Mina speaks with him, realizing that he is Solomirathnius (Mirror) and was struck blind during the magical storm. Mirror asks why she left the Citadel of Light, and her adopted mother Goldmoon. Mina tells him it was because she answered the call of the One God, and allows Mirror to go in peace.

Mina's force reaches the border of Silvanesti, where ogres attack them. The young girl calls upon the power of the One God to aid them, and her entire force are transported within the Silvanesti Shield, as the ogres rage against the barrier, unable to penetrate it.

Gerard gets Tasslehoff and Palin to safety on the back of a griffon. Distracting the knights, Gerard is eventually captured by Marshal Medan, as Palin and Tas fly back to Solace. Near the ruins of the Academy of Sorcery, Palin meets with Jenna, talking to her of magical artifacts. Palin experiments with the Device of Time Travelling to find that there is no past, just nothingness. The last event that he can travel to is the battle against Chaos, all events before that are gone as if they never happened. Palin accuses Tas of being the cause of time being messed up.

Tas flees, upset by Palin's outburst. Jenna reveals that she has clues where Dalamar may be found, as Palin determines to visit Goldmoon and speak with her about the strange revelation about time and the kender. Tasslehoff arrives on Schallsea and meets the gnome Conundrum Solitaire, as he is attempting to map the Hedge Maze. Palin also arrives in Schallsea and finds Tas, so the pair decides to speak with Goldmoon about the subject.

They are surprised to find that after the magical storm, Goldmoon has had her youth restored. Goldmoon is horrified that she can now see the dead swarming around people, trying to claim any magic loosed in the world. Palin accidentally breaks the Device of Time Traveling, whilst tinkering with it.

Beryl's Plot/Cyan Revealed: Medan has Gerard's wounds healed and offers to harbor his secret of being a Solamnic, if Gerard will pledge his life to protect Laurana for him. Gerard accepts, noting Medan to be a man of honor. Medan tells Gerard that he is concerned that Beryl will attack Qualinesti since her plans to capture Palin have failed. Groul delivers a message from Beryl to Medan, which tells him that she wants the head of Laurana and the magical artifact delivered to her, or she will destroy Qualinesti. Gerard escorts Groul out of Qualinost, learning from the draconian that Beryl's offer is a ruse, and that her army is already marching towards Qualinost to destroy it. Gerard surprises the draconian and kills him, returning to Medan, Gilthas and Laurana to tell them of the news.

Konnal, Glaucous and Silvanoshei discuss mounting a Silvanesti army to confront Mina's force. Silvanoshei leads the force, whilst his friend Kiryn (and Konnal's nephew) is forced to be a messenger, and is not allowed to partake in the militia. Silvanoshei captures Mina, who tells him about the Silvanesti Shield and that it is not protecting the Silvanesti, but causing them to waste away. She warns that Glaucous is not who he appears to be. Konnal prepares to have Mina executed, though just as she is about to be killed, she calls upon the One God to remove the illusion around Glaucous.

The elf is revealed to actually be the fearsome green dragon, Cyan Bloodbane. Seeing the green and realizing that he had been duped into raising the shield, Konnal suffers from a heart attack and dies on the spot. Mina orders her men and the elves to attack Cyan, who in a united attack bring down the dragon with arrows, finally killing the large green dragon.

Silvanoshei, infatuated with Mina, follows her around, as she waits for General Dogah's forces to meet with hers, so they can claim Silvanost for the One God. Beryl's forces attack the Citadel of Light, as Goldmoon escapes with Conundrum in his submersible, the Indestructible. The Green Dragon Overlord's forces destroy the Citadel of Light, but the magical artifact eludes them.

The Qualinesti Traitor/Targonne's Fall: Lord Targonne receives word of the fall of Silvanesti Shield, and sends out reports to the Dragon Overlords to assure them of his allegiance. Targonne also orders Marshal Medan to imprison the Qualinesti royal family and to hand over Qualinost to Beryl.

In the destruction of the Citadel of Light, Palin and Tas flee from draconian forces. Palin uses the Device of Time Travelling to power his spells and defeat their pursuers before they flee into the Hedge Maze, race up the Silver Stair and witness the spirit of Caramon. Caramon advises them to leap from the Silver Stair, which the pair do and are magically transported to the Tower of Nightlund, where they meet with Dalamar.

Gilthas and Medan agree to join forces against Beryl's armies who are marching on Qualinost. Gerard speaks with Medan about a possible traitor in the Queen Mother's household, and Medan admits that Kalindas is a spy who he has used in the past. Marshal Medan orders Gerard to take his blue dragon Razor and fly directly to the Solamnic Council in Solanthus to request their aid on behalf of the Queen Mother of Qualinesti. Medan then advises Gilthas, Laurana and Planchet of Kalindas' duplicity.
When confronted, Kalindas attempts to kill Laurana, however he only wounds her before his own brother Kelevandros manages to strike him down.

Mina enters Silvanost with Galdar and her soldiers, much to the delight of the elves. She heals wherever she walks and soon all except for the kirath are enamoured with her. The kirath are scorned for not trusting Mina, and soon return to the forests. Kiryn arranges a meeting between Silvanoshei and Samar. Samar attempts to convince Silvanoshei to leave the capital, so the dark knights do not turn him into a mere puppet. However, the king refuses to leave, sending Samar on his way.

Targonne has a ring given to one of his elven slaves and sends her to Silvanost, planning to visit the elven city himself on Mina's death. The ring is delivered to Gilthas, with a missive saying it is from his mother Alhana, and to give it to the one he loves. Gilthas plans to throw a banquet in Mina's honor, at which point he determines to give her the ring and declare his love for her. On giving the ring to Mina, she collapses and dies. Galdar discovers that the ring had a poison needle on it and carries Mina away.

Galdar, Samuval and Dogah struggle to keep Mina's army in line, whilst they reveal the potion Mina took to give the appearance of death, to lure Targonne to Silvanost. On his arrival Mina arises and strikes down her would-be murderer, assuming total control as the Head of the Knights of Neraka. Leaving General Dogah in charge of her forces controlling Silvanost, Mina leaves with the bulk of her army in the direction of Solamnia. On leaving, she tells Silvanoshei to worship the One God and they will be together again. In private she tells Galdar that she told the elven king this so that he is in their control, otherwise he could rise to become a great leader.

Captives in Solanthus/Lost Star: Dalamar tells Palin that he moved the Tower of High Sorcery from Palanthas to Nightlund to escape Khellendros' clutches. He also tells how the Shadow Sorcerer taught him necromancy, an agent who he thought was working for Khellendros. In turn, Palin reveals the Shadow Sorcerer taught him wild magic also, who he thought was an agent of Malystryx.

Tas tries to escape the tower and is horrified when confronted by a ghost of himself. Razor lands near Solanthus, and hides away in a cave whilst Gerard begins the journey to meet the Solamnic Council. He is soon apprehended by the Solamnic knight Odila Windlass, who is convinced he is a Nerakan Knight, and ignores his protests. Odila leads her captive to Solanthus and has him locked away in the prison house, where the local militia and knights ignore his pleas.

In Qualinost, the Bozak draconian Captain Nogga, confronts Marshal Medan about Beryl's orders and asks about the missing draconian Groul. Medan and his second Dumat assist Laurana and Planchet in beating Nogga and then forcing him to return to Beryl, assuring her of Medan's control in Qualinost.

At the same time, Gilthas again meets with King Tarn Bellowgranite and they organize the evacuation of the Qualinesti elves through the underground tunnels.

Mina's forces ride into Nightlund, where Mina and Galdar journey to the Tower of High Sorcery. Dalamar and Palin are aghast to see the souls of the dead bow to her. Tas races through Nightlund and reaches Solanthus, where he rejoins Goldmoon and Conundrum, who have just arrived.

Goldmoon meets with one of her pupils, Starmaster Mikelis, who is amazed that she has had her youth restored. Tas and Conundrum are led to the Knights' Council by Lady Odila after Tas describes Sir Gerard. Odila reveals that he is being tried for espionage by the council, and find that Goldmoon and Mikelis are also already in the meeting. Goldmoon vouches for Sir Gerard, revealing that she is not the daughter of Goldmoon, but the cleric herself, describing how she had her youth restored. Lord Tasgall, Rose Knight and head of the council, despite Goldmoon's testimony decrees that Gerard be imprisoned until such time that Lord Warren in Solace can be contacted to confirm his story. Additionally, Goldmoon is ordered to be confined in the city until her story can also be verified.

Laurana leads Marshal Medan to the Royal Treasury, where she recovers a dragonlance and the magical sword Lost Star. She tells Medan that he will wield Lost Star to enthrall Beryl, whilst she brings the lance to bear on the green dragon to strike it down.

Khellendros learns more of Mina's ascendance to power, through his blue dragon underling Smalt. The silver dragon Mirror, in the form of a blind beggar, reaches Khellendros' lair, where he witnesses the blue Dragon Overlord facing Mina, who after a brief conversation attempts to kill the girl. However, his lightning is turned against him, blinding the blue dragon and rendering him incapable of defending himself.

Solanthus Conquered/Fall of the Green: In Solanthus, Goldmoon escapes her quarters, frees Gerard, Tas and Conundrum from imprisonment and attempts to flee the city. Tas reveals that whilst Palin used the parts of the Device of Time Traveling at the Citadel of Light, they have since reappeared in his pockets and he cannot get rid of them.

The group find Razor, who Gerard convinces to fly Goldmoon, Tas and Conundrum to the Tower of High Sorcery in Nightlund. Gerard then leaves the group, is confronted by Odila and the pair begin to return to Solanthus.

They soon find that Mina's army is laid out before Solanthus, preparing to assault the city. Still disguised as a Nerakan Knight, Gerard attempts to bluff his way past the army, with his 'prisoner' Odila in tow. Galdar escorts the pair to Mina, who shows Odila the error of her ways and gives her a glimpse into the mind of the One God. Gerard frees Odila and the pair escape back to Solanthus. Mina reveals to Galdar that she allowed their escape, so that knowledge of the One God can spread throughout the city before they strike. Galdar voices the unrest of the troops with the closeness of their new allies, the dead.

Odila and Gerard present themselves before the Knights' Council. Rose Knight Lord Tasgall, Lord Ulrich and Lord Nigel, Sword and Crown Knights respectively, drop all charges against Gerard and begin to plan the defense of Solanthus. Using the souls of the dead to terrify the Solamnic troops, Mina's army then crushes the knights and takes the city. She allows the surviving knights to flee, even to go to Sanction, announcing that her army will conquer that next in the name of the One God.

In Qualinost, Medan and Laurana finalize their plans against Beryl. However, on the landing of the Tower of the Sun, Kelevandros ambushes Medan and cuts him down in grief over Kalindas' death. Medan dies in Laurana's arms, whilst Kelevandros throws himself from a railing to his death. Laurana retrieves Lost Star from Medan's body and then goes to face Beryl. Raising the magical sword, she enthralls Beryl and then the elves use ballista and magically strengthened ropes to trap the magically paralysed dragon. Laurana then raises the dragonlance and drives it through Beryl's head. The Green Overlord crashes upon the Tower of the Sun, destroying it and killing Laurana. Under the weight of Beryl, the underground tunnels collapse and the great dragon falls into them.

As Beryl's army, Dumat and the elves all perish in the destruction, the surrounding buildings fall into the tunnels, crushing and killing the overlord. Far clear of the devastation, Gilthas, Planchet and Kerianseray learn of the fate of Qualinost and its defenders, noting that the city is now being referred to as Nalis Aren (Lake of Death).

In Dalamar's Tower, Tas and Conundrum decide to try and fix the Device of Time Travelling, with Palin and Dalamar looking on. The mages note that Mina has entered the tower and now seems to have control of it. Goldmoon meets with Mina, who asks her adopted mother to accept the One God. Goldmoon recognizes the One God to be Takhisis and refuses to serve. Takhisis strikes down and kills Goldmoon, as Mina weeps for her lost mother, saying she did everything for love of Goldmoon.

Fall of the Blue: Palin and Dalamar watch Goldmoon's fall and learn that Takhisis is the One God. However, Mina soon enters their abode in the tower and kills both mages. With the power of Takhisis, Mina then creates a coffin of golden amber to protect Goldmoon's body and prepares it to be taken to Sanction, where the One God will perform a great miracle. Tas and Conundrum use the repaired Device of Time Travelling and escape the clutches of the dark knights. Mina then reanimates the bodies of Palin and Dalamar, forcing them to do her will or risk the destruction of their souls. The mighty Khellendros tells the silver dragon Mirror about how he was the first alien dragon brought to Krynn, of the origins of his fellow overlords, how the metallic dragons and the souls of the dead are trapped by Takhisis, and of Takhisis' grand plan to steal the world. He then warns Mirror to hide himself as Malys is coming to kill the blue overlord, now that he is weak and blind. Malys arrives at the lair and slays Khellendros, leaving quickly thereafter. Another blue dragon arrives and finds the blue overlord dead and then confronts Mirror. The dragon introduces himself as Razor, the mount of Marshal Medan, and the pair decide to ally together in order to learn more of Takhisis' plans. Tas and Conundrum appear in the distant past, where they meet Huma and Magius. Tas is excited that the past has been rediscovered and uses the Device of Time Travelling again, to tell the others. In the wake of the defeat at Solanthus, the knights discover that Lord Nigel of the Crown has been killed. The Solamnic lords hold a council to discuss Mina and her army. Lord Tasgall of the Rose, Lord Ulrich of the Sword and Nigel's replacement, Lord Siegfried of the Crown, listen to Odila's report on the situation. Gerard is asked to leave for Sanction to monitor Mina's activities and report back to the council. A messenger arrives and tells the council of the death of Beryl and destruction of Qualinost. He also tells that a portion of Mina's forces under the command of Captain Samuval have claimed the Qualinesti lands. In the Plains of Dust, Gilthas and his Qualinesti elves suffer in the unbearable heat. As the elves wander aimlessly, they come across several riders, one of which introduces himself as Wanderer, son of Goldmoon and Rivermind. Wanderer aids Gilthas and his people, helping them to get across the Plains and also warning them of rumors that Silvanesti has also been overrun by Mina's forces.

The Fall of the Red/The Taking of Sanction: Gerard sneaks into Solanthus, where he pretends to be a mistakenly imprisoned dark knight. Galdar frees him and takes him before Mina, who tells him her plans and accepts him into the worship of the One God, even though she is seemingly aware that he is truly a Solamnic Knight. Gerard is amazed at one sermon, where Odila appears and has been caught wandering down the main street in her Solamnic armor. She bows before Mina and pledges her loyalty to her and the One God. Mina makes Odila a cleric of the One God and bestows upon her a Medallion of Faith.
The spirit of Raistlin Majere addresses the gods in the heavenly court, telling them that he has located the world through Tasslehoff Burrfoot. The gods and Raistlin set about a plan to try and make things right again in the world, and a way to defeat Takhisis who has grown supremely powerful. Samar sends word to Lady Alhana that her son Silvanoshei has journeyed to Solanthus to find his love Mina. Alhana and Kiryn meet King Gilthas, speaking to him of the fall of Silvanost and also of Qualinost. Gilthas pledges his desire to unite the two elven kingdoms, to which Alhana agrees. Alhana allows Gilthas and his Qualinesti to setup camp with her own Silvanesti. Tas and Conundrum appear in the Hedge Maze, where the gnome happily sets about mapping the area. Leaving him to his own devices, Tas uses the device and appears in Dargaard Keep. He witnesses Mina petition Soth's aid in the upcoming war, and the death knight's refusal. For his audacity, Mina removes his curse and returns him back to life, and then destroys him completely. Silvanoshei reaches Mina's army and speaks with Mina, who tells him that she is pleased that he is serving the One God, and he serves in her army. Silvanoshei asks Gerard (who he realizes is a Solamnic) to carry his royal ring to Samar and tell him to that he is dead. Mina's forces claim Sanction, which puts up little resistance. The spirit of Dalamar visits Malys, warning her of Mina and the One God. Samar returns to Alhana telling her of the news, and also that Gerard is returning to Solamnia to raise the Solamnic army against Mina and her forces in Sanction. Alhana pledges her Silvanesti to march against Sanction also, to rescue what she believes is her imprisoned son. The elven army leaves for Sanction as a great minotaur fleet land in Silvanesti. General Dogah's wishes are finally granted by Mina, as his minotaur reinforcements land and solidify Mina's hold over the elven nation.
Razor approaches Galdar, offering to fly him into battle against Malys. The minotaur gladly accepts, and the two prepare for the fight in the coming day. Mina summons a death dragon from the bones of Malys' totem and rides it into battle. Galdar and Razor also rise against Malys, and a great duel ensues when the mighty red overlord appears over Sanction. With the aid of Takhisis, Malys is destroyed, however all participants plunge to the earth. Odila renounces her worship of the One God and flies away with Mirror. In the outer limits of Sanction, Razor crash-lands and protects Galdar, speaking to the minotaur briefly before dying of his wounds. Galdar searches for Mina and finds her broken body, taking her to a secluded cave to administer to her wounds. Takhisis appears and casts Galdar aside, before healing Mina. In the small town of Tyburn, Gerard comes across the spirit of Raistlin Majere, who chooses to aid him, and also runs into Tasslehoff. He rescues Tas from dark knights, and the kender again uses the Device of Time Travelling to transport them both to Lord Ulrich's manor. Gerard presents his report to the Solamnic council, as does Odila who has just returned with Mirror. Tas tells of the Device and of the good dragons, and he and Mirror determine to rescue the metallic dragons, dragging Odila and Gerard along with them as Tas again transports the group. The group appear in a strange place, where they discover the metallic dragons are sleeping and kept locked away. Tas manages to free them all and Mirror goes to speak with the dragons. Odila and Gerard prepare to leave as Tas decides to finally return to his own time to die.

A final lament for Paladine and Takhisis/The War of Souls ends: Thousands of ogres ambush the Silvanesti and Qualinesti forces, prepared to destroy them. During the initial fighting however, the good dragons appear, led by Sir Gerard, and crush and turn the ogre army. Gerard speaks with Gilthas, Samar and Alhana, and the metallic dragon forces and the elven army unites to march on Sanction. As the metallic dragons devastate Mina's forces in Sanction, Mina herself retreats to the Temple of Duerghast. Galdar and Silvanoshei both follow her. A large draconian army from Teyr also appears and attacks Mina's army, adding their might to that of the elves and metallic dragons. With all watching, Mina offers her body as an avatar for Takhisis. When the goddess tries to claim Mina, Paladine appears and stops her, as the other gods all appear also. Paladine tells Takhisis that he has made the ultimate sacrifice and forsaken his godhood, in order to bring her down also. In rage over losing her godhood, Takhisis prepares to strike down Mina, however Galdar throws himself in the way and has his arm severed. Silvanoshei then leaps to Mina's defense and plunges the haft of a broken dragonlance into Takhisis, killing the former goddess. In grief over the death of Takhisis, Mina then strikes down and kills Silvanoshei, before gathering the body of Takhisis and leaving Sanction. Sargonnas appears to Galdar, his loyal servant, and restores him to life, however Galdar chooses to not have his arm restored and then follows the tracks that Mina has left. Odila and Mirror choose to take up the fight in Silvanesti and leave together, briefly saying goodbye to Gerard. At the request of Raistlin Majere, the gods restore both Palin and Dalamar to life, offering their magic back to them. Dalamar gladly accepts, but Palin refuses the magic, happy to now live out his life without it. Raistlin's spirit reunites with that of his twin at last, and the two pass into the afterlife. The former god Paladine tells Gilthas that he is now to be known as Valthonis (meaning in elven 'The Exile). Goldmoon and Silvanoshei are laid to rest in the Tomb of the Last Heroes in Solace. Valthonis tells Gerard that Tas' soul is now finally at rest with Flint, and that all of the companions are about to be reunited. Gerard smiles, telling Valthonis that he fixed the lock on the tomb. The War of Souls draws to a close.
