The Game Welcome, friends, welcome! Come, sit by the fire and let its warmth chase away the chill of winter. Buy me an ale and I shall tell you of the many lives I have lived. You don’t believe me? And yet it‘s true. I am known as the Herald. The memories of Krynn are mine to know and share. Ever since its creation the world has been marked by constant war. Elves, ogres, humans and dragons have fought against each other time and again, some seeking to fulfill the Dark Queen‘s ambitions, others to thwart them. So many times darkness has threatened to devour the world only to be bested by light at the very last moment. You know what I speak of. The War of the Lance made the stars shine brighter in the heavens, bringing back the hope of a better future that had been lost during the Cataclysm. But it was not to last. The Graygem was broken open and the Father of All and of Nothing escaped his ancient prison and sought to punish both the mortals and the gods for their insolence. The power of Chaos almost destroyed the world we know and love. Almost. Through bravery and sacrifice Krynn survived, though the cost was great. The gods abandoned the world once more, this time for good, we thought. The Age of Mortals dawned, but it did so in ash and cinders. Led by Malystryx the Red, alien dragons claimed dominion over our world and our lives. They corrupted everything they touched and even the land itself was shaped to better suit their twisted natures. Most people bowed their heads to their unnatural appetites and only a few found it in their hearts to fight back. Sadly, without the gods to guide and inspire them, victory seemed as immaterial as a fleeting dream, soon giving its place to the grim reality that was life under the Dragon Overlords. This time change -or was it fate?- took the form of a great storm and a slip of a girl with hair the color of fire. Mina and her One God managed to do what had not been considered possible before. They broke the might of the Solamnic Knights, brought down the impenetrable Silvanesti Shield and killed the Red Marauder once and for all. All in the name of the One God, all in the name of Takhisis. Our world, however, is not meant to be the domain of one god alone. The gods returned and in order for the dark to be contained, light had to suffer as well. At the same time that Paladine willingly relinquished the divine spark inside him, Takhisis was forcibly stripped of hers. The Dark Queen lost her godly might that day and soon her mortal life as well, her bane the love her disciple had ignited in the breast of Silvanos‘ unrealized hope. The soul of the world was saved, but not all souls who were lost have found their way to the Beyond. The gods work through mortal hands to heal Krynn‘s wounds and restore that which should have never been tainted. Hope for those who can no longer help themselves rests in you, future heroes. Will you heed the call? Will you write your own legend? Art by Jeff Easley   A world reclaimed "Grandfather, grandfather, come look. The stars are wrong!" Kelan sighed. He had been looking forward to a quiet evening next to the fireplace with a steaming cup of tea in hand. His aching back longed for it. Late autumn was the busiest time of the year for most farmers and it was no different for him. Not that the harvest was especially bountiful, what with the Northern Wastes slowly encroaching upon the lands north of Maelgoth under the Blue Overlord‘s influence. What made a difference this year was that he had no assistance to bring in the harvest. Ever since his son-in-law had been carried away by a roving band of “brutes”, one of many that did Khellendros‘ bidding, and his daughter had been imprisoned by the Knights of Neraka for daring to protest after the kidnapping of her husband, Kelan was forced to both work the earth and run the household alone. At seventy-three years of age it felt like a losing battle, but it was a battle that had to be fought nonetheless. If not for him, then for his young granddaughter, Meyran. The eleven-year-old had her entire future ahead of her, whatever that future might look like in a godless world dominated by monstrous dragons, who viewed the people living in their lands as vermin. "Grandfather, are you asleep? Did you not hear me calling you?" The girl, her rich brown hair tangled and disheveled, her simple dress soiled with mud over the knees, entered the house with the force of a sandstorm and looked at the older man impatiently as only a child or kender could. Despite his weariness, Kelan smiled softly. He had regretted many of his decisions in life, but settling down wasn’t one of them. There was so much of his late wife‘s fire in Meyran that he had the impression she had somehow been reborn in the girl. Such a thing would have been impossible with the old gods still ensuring the balance of the world, but now… Who knew what happened to the spirits of the departed once they left the mortal world? Was the Gate of Souls still functional? The elder shook his head in resignation. He could have visited Astinus in the Great Library of the Ages once or asked a member of the Holy Orders of the Stars to provide him with an answer. Not any more, however, no, not any more. "The stars have been wrong long before you were born, my restless girl", Kelan answered, his voice that of a man who no longer believed in miracles. "They are far away and do not care for those who live beneath them. Better leave them be and go clean yourself up before dinner. There is bread from yesterday and it should still be edible if you dunk it in the stew. I am sure you are as hungry as I am." Truth be told, Kelan wasn’t hungry. He was tired. It was not the kind one felt after a good day‘s work, where a smile of satisfaction upon one‘s lips made the ache of the bones and muscles seem sweet, almost welcome. It was a weariness of the heart that weighed one down, tempting them to close their eyes and never open them again. Not that he would ever seriously consider such a thing. He could not and would not abandon Meyran, at least not until she was once more safe in the arms of her mother. Safe… The word seemed inappropriate somehow, a kender‘s false hope. Who can be safe with gigantic dragons and their minions preying upon the people of Ansalon? Meyran was unaware of her grandfather’s dark thoughts and even if she could have read them, she wouldn’t have cared. Not when she alone in the world had made such a great discovery and was so eager to share it. "No, grandfather, it‘s now that the stars are wrong! Come, I‘ll show you. Come!" Knowing that the old man could be as stubborn as a mule, a trait she proudly shared with him, Meyran grabbed Kelan by the hand and pulled until he had no option but to submit. The girl would have normally cherished this little victory, but this was not the time for such trivialities, not when the entire world had changed. The old man and the girl got out of the farmhouse and immediately felt the chill in the air. Autumn would be eventually giving its place to winter and Kelan would finally be able to rest along with the land. Assuming of course that the cursed Dark Knights didn’t claim the whole of the harvest and left them to starve. The old Knights of Takhisis would never have sought to make a profit out of poor peasants, who even in the best of days barely made ends meet, but this new breed of so-called knights cared only for steel. "Look, grandfather, look. The stars have changed!" Following Meyran‘s outstretched arm pointing upwards, Kelan‘s gaze left the earth and its many troubles and wandered to the heavens. Was the girl right? His eyes were not what they had once been and making out the constellations in the night sky was clearly meant for younger men or those who had the right tools to study the heavens like the Aesthetics did. "I don’t see anything unusual, child. Besides, it‘s not possible that…" Kelan never got a chance to end his sentence. As a group of clouds shifted in the heavens, slowly traveling to the west towards the Vingaard mountains, the moon appeared and bathed the world in its silvery light. The old man gasped in shock and stumbled over his own feet. Had it not been for Meyran, who rushed forward to support him, Kelan would have fallen to the ground - and he wouldn’t have noticed a thing. This wasn’t the pale and indifferent moon he had watched waxing and waning in the sky for the past forty years. This moon was an old acquaintance and made the blood in his veins sing every time he looked at it. How can it be? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? But no, how could I not recognize the silver moon? That can only mean that the Veiled Maiden has returned as well! He didn’t need his eyes to find her. His heart allowed him to locate her immediately. How had he not sensed her presence before? There she was, just over the horizon to the east, her crescent smiling at him mischievously like she used to when he was young and wore robes that matched her red color. The girl was surprised to see her grandfather weeping like a child. Not that she hadn’t seen tears in his eyes before, especially when he thought that no one was watching. He had cried when grandmother fell ill and it became clear that herbs and medicinal teas would not be able to cure her. He had cried again when he realized that the wandering mystic he had brought home, supposedly a former student of Goldmoon, one of the Heroes of the Lance and mistress of the Citadel of Light, had stolen everything of value he could find and left during the night. More recently he had cried when mother didn’t return a full week after leaving for nearby Maelgoth to voice her protests before the Dark Knight commander. In all these instances her grandfather’s body had been shaking from pain and sorrow, even suppressed anger. Now it was different somehow. He actually seemed to be… happy, happier in fact than she had ever seen him before. "The stars… they are not wrong. They are right! They are as they should have been ever since Chaos was defeated. And along with them the moons have returned as well! The bright one over there is Solinari. Do you see how the world shines in his presence? He has a cousin that cannot be seen, Nuitari, the Devouring Dark. And this one… O this one is special. This one is my friend! Lunitari the Veiled Maiden she is called, mistress of magic. See how sweetly she smiles at us? I wonder if I can still call to her like I used to. I just need… Yes, yes!" Kelan hurried inside the house with the speed of a flying griffon and the excitement of a kender inside a gnomish workshop. Meyran, who was seriously starting to think that her grandfather had grown ill in the head, perhaps affected by the strange new moons, followed him reluctantly. She didn’t have to look for him long, for the noise of objects being haphazardly thrown to the floor easily betrayed his location. Entering the small storeroom where they kept the things that had once belonged to grandmother, things Kelan had not been able to throw away or to gift another, the girl found him bent over a large chest she had not even known existed. "Ha ha, found it!", exclaimed the old man and raised high a pouch of cracked leather that seemed so old that the girl marvelled that it didn’t immediately fall apart in his hands. Arthritic fingers that appeared to have regained their youth and skill, nimbly undid the pouch’s strings and fished something small out of it. Meyran took a few hesitant steps towards her grandfather only to realise that he was holding the husk of a firefly, which might have been normal for onr of her age, but not for a grown man. Looking around for something appropriate for what he had in mind, Kelan picked up an old wooden spoon that used to be stored inside the chest, but was now lying on the wooden floor along with yellowed scrolls, old, moth-eaten clothes and an assortment of several balls of yarn of different colors, though red shades clearly predominated. Presenting the spoon to the girl, who looked at it with an alarmed expression, the old man took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "Shirak!" The word came to him unbidden, as easily as if he had last spoken it only minutes and not decades before, and it still felt as familiar and comforting as the name of his late wife or that of his daughter. Suddenly the small room was flooded in bright red light, making the man’s smile look almost identical to the celestial crescent outside. "Grandfather! How did you do that?" Meyran seemed uncertain whether her initial shock should be replaced by worry or enthusiasm. "I thought you hated sorcery." Kelan, who was regarding the old spoon with such elation as if he had been holding Huma’s Lance, gave his granddaughter a very uncharacteristic wink. "But this is not the wild, unreliable magic used by sorcerers. This is the magic of the moons, the treasured secret of the Orders of High Sorcery! The powers I have been deprived of for decades have been returned to me. You cannot even begin to imagine what wonders one can work under the guidance of the gods of magic." Suddenly a thought entered the old wizard’s mind and he looked slyly at Meyran. "Unless… you would like to learn?" The girl looked at the old man and her eyes shone like precious rubies in the crimson light emanating from the wooden spoon. "Magic? Oh, yes, yes! Please, teach me, grandfather! I swear that I’ll be good and do whatever you require of me. Honestly!" Kelan chuckled and stroked his beard. Why not? Meyran was clever enough. If she had inherited some of his magical talent, she should have no difficulty passing the Test of High Sorcery. Besides, the Orders would be needing new blood soon enough and there were far worse things one could make with one’s life than becoming a Red Robe. "We’ll see. Wielding magic is not as easy as you might think. It requires study, many, many hours of intense study and exact memorisation." Seeing the disappointment in the girl’s eyes, he lovingly placed his wrinkled hand upon her head and started straightening her wild hair. "But it is worth it, believe me. Any sacrifice." Seeming to reconsider, he quickly corrected himself. "Almost any sacrifice." Putting the shining spoon down on the floor, Kelan retrieved an empty scroll, a strange writing quill and a small bottle of ink from the chest, which he gave Meyran. Afterwards he reached inside the chest a final time and took out a large book bound in red leather and covered in cloth, which he reverently carried to the kitchen. "We both have some studying to do, it seems. I’ll go over my spellbook, while you take your first steps in the Art. Come dawn, we will head to Maelgoth and free your mother. She has remained in the clutches of the Knights of Neraka long enough. It’s time for some justice. Now, put down the scroll on the table, dip your quill inside the ink pot and concentrate on the beauty and power of the red moon. If you really want to become her follower, she will grant your wish. Once you feel ready, write the following with a steady hand." I, Magus.

The Particulars - I am looking for 6 long term players. If you are not sure whether or not you have the time or if you are able to commit to the game, please don’t apply. Both new players and veterans of 5th Edition DnD are welcome. Knowledge of the Dragonlance setting is preferred, but not necessary, though an openness to learning is. I intend to stay true to the official lore as much as I can. - Leveling will be by Milestones. After each chapter (including the prologue) the PCs will be gaining a level. Multiclassing is allowed, though it should not be abused (there is a maximum of three classes). All PCs will be starting at 1st level and assuming the adventuring modules are played to the end (which is very ambitious, I realize) the PCs will be reaching level 20 and getting an epic boon. - The required posting rate is once per week, though I will try to make minor updates more often, if necessary. I have a soft spot for purple prose and ask for a certain quality in each player post, though players are certainly not required to match the length of my own posts, which can be considerable. Real life can be crueler than Takhisis and a player may be forced to be absent for a certain amount of time. This is to be expected and fine with me, though I do ask for it to be communicated clearly and in time to me and the rest of the group. - Since the adventure is based on official modules, combat and roleplaying are more or less balanced, though I clearly prefer the latter. Simple battles might be resolved through “theatre of mind” and for more complex ones I will be using maps. Designing battle maps will be new for me, thus I ask you to be patient and forgiving. I promise to do my best. - You will be rolling (6 times 4d6, drop the lowest) for the PC attributes once, though if you are not happy with what you get, you may choose the 27 point-buy system or standard array instead. PLEASE, DO NOT ROLL DICE IN THIS THREAD! Use this link instead, though you may roll after you are accepted. The same is true for HPs at leveling. You will be rolling once and, if you are not happy with the result, may take average HPs instead. At 1st level you will be getting maximum HPs as usual. - Each PC will be getting a free feat at character creation with the exception of Aurak Draconians, who are very powerful as they are. That means that Human (variant) characters will be starting with two feats. There are will be revealed later to those who are acceptedseveral new setting-specific feats and weapons that can be chosen too. The race requirements for some feats can be waived off, if an exception to the rules seems logical. This is especially true for -but not restricted to- feats for races that are not allowed (like halflings, half-orcs and dragonborn). A character sheet is not required to apply to the game, but you are welcome to work on one, if you would like to do so. - I intend on reviewing each and every completed application, assuming that I am given the time to do so. My free time varies greatly, so please be patient with me. If a week goes by after completing an application and you have received no feedback, please notify me. I ask you to apply with a single character, though you may replace your initial character, if you decide to go for something else instead. - The applications will be remaining open for four weeks from the time I have posted this, meaning that the deadline is on 17.04.22. This is to ensure that those who are not familiar with the setting get the chance to take a look at the official lore (see below), if they wish, and to make any modifications to their characters according to the feedback they receive. If you require a little bit of extra time to finish an application you have started, please say so. A day or two won’t be making any difference and I intend this game to last for a long time. Though I know that the odds are against me, hope is a very important theme in Dragonlance and I would be remiss to ignore it.

A few Words about Me Hello, fellow RPGXers! Some of you might know me, since I have been in a lot of games in the last couple of years. For those of you that don’t, I have been a member of these forums since April 2019 with a pretty constant presence. I love storytelling and roleplaying and though the dice regularly remind me that I do not have their favor, I persist nonetheless. My first experience with roleplaying games was no, I am sadly no longer in my early twentiesat a time when cell phones were heavy, bulky and primarily used to call others and I was immediately hooked. Though I have had to abstain from my hobby for many years, I never forgot the amazing feeling of being able to tell an epic tale and get to play one‘s own heroic (or not) character. Eventually I discovered this site and the great community that frequents and sustains it and finding a group of like-minded individuals somewhere nearby was no longer an issue. I now got to play with people from all over the world! The golden era of my gaming days began and thankfully there is no end in sight. After three years of being a player in the games of others and having learnt quite a lot from a number of Game Masters with a variety of skills and different gaming styles, I finally found the courage to run a game of my own. And what game could it be other than a Dragonlance game? Dragonlance has been my great love since before I had even heard of D&D. I have spent countless hours reading the many novels that describe this rich world and even had the privilege of acting as Dungeon Master for a group of friends in a homebrew campaign. Though I ended up I really hate vorpal blades!killing the group by accident, it was still a highly enjoyable experience. I claim to have Sorry, FCastor learnt from my mistakes and in any case I brought most PCs back from the Abyss and married the player of the one that I didn’t, so I consider this debt settled. Now I make a dynamic comeback with an official adventure path (originally for DnD 3.5e) that promises to be epic in scope and hope that I will find enough people out there either remembering the old Dragonlance days fondly or interested in finding out what it was all about. Long live the Lance and those who wield it!

Feature - Hard to Hold: A Handler can automatically escape a jail at will (with the DM’s approval), though that is not true for their companions as well. Class   There are some new options and required modifications for existing classes. Artificer: Alchemist, Armorer, Artillerist, Battle Smith The abilities of Artificers are usually either the result of ingenious technology, primal sorcery and/or mysticism. Barbarian: Ancestral Guardian, Battlerage (restricted to Klar Dwarves), Beast, Berserker, Storm Herald, Totem Warrior, Wild Magic, Zealot The abilities of Barbarians are usually the result of primal sorcery and/or mysticism, though some might be rare individuals blessed by the gods. Bard: Creation, Eloquence, Glamour, Lore, Spirits, Swords, Valor, Whispers The abilities of Bards are usually the result of primal sorcery and/or mysticism, though some might be rare individuals blessed by Branchala or Hiddukel. Cleric: Adjudication (new Domain restricted to specialized Knights of Neraka [Knights of the Skull] known as the Cabal of the Code), Arcana (restricted to mystic-sorcerers), Death (Chemosh), Forge (Reorx), Grave (Habakkuk, Chemosh, Morgion), Knowledge (Majere, Gilean, Shinare, Zivilyn), Life (Mishakal), Light (Branchala, Sirrion), Nature (Habbakuk, Chislev), Order (Paladine, Majere, Shinare, Takhisis), Peace (Paladine, Gilean), Pestilence (new Domain restricted to priests of Morgion), Tempest (Zeboim), Trickery (Reorx, Takhisis, Hiddukel), Twilight (Mishakal, Chislev, Mina), War (Kiri-Jolith, Sargonnas) Most clerics are members of the Holy Orders of the Stars that worship the true gods, but the class can also describe the powers of mystics or mystic-sorcerers (see also the „Sorcerer“ entry below). Paladine (now mortal) and Takhisis (now deceased) do not grant powers in the Age of Mortals, though some might still worship them. Druid: Dreams, Land, Moon, Shepherd, Spores, Stars, Wildfire Most Druids venerate one of the gods of nature according to their alignment: Habbakuk (good), Chislev (neutral) and Zeboim (evil) and can join the Holy Orders of the Stars. Alternatively they are individuals who rely upon primal sorcery and/or mysticism. Fighter: Arcane Archer, Banneret, Battle Master, Blood Archer (restricted to specialized Knights of Neraka [Knights of the Lily]), Cavalier, Champion, Echo Knight, Eldritch Knight, Knight of Solamnia: Crown, Sword or Rose (restricted to Knights of Solamnia), Psi Warrior, Rune Knight, Samurai The special abilities of some Fighters are usually the result of primal sorcery and/or mysticism. Only Knights of Solamnia/Knights of the Sword receive their powers from Kiri-Jolith. Monk: Mercy, Ascendant Dragon, Astral Self, Drunken Master, Four Elements, Kensei, Long Death, Open Hand, Shadow, Sun Soul The abilities of Monks are usually the result of primal sorcery and/or mysticism, even though there are many orders that devote themselves to the worship of a god. Paladin: Ancients, Conquest, Crown, Devotion, Glory, Redemption, Vengeance, Watchers*, Oathbreaker Paladins are rare in Ansalon, since the Knights of Solamnia and the Knights of Takhisis/Neraka are the traditional armed groups of followers of the gods. There may be individuals, however, who pledge their services to a god and receive a paladin‘s powers in return, though they do not belong to an order, unless they are at the same time members of one of the two knighthoods mentioned above or join the Holy Orders of the Stars. The Oath of the Watchers might need some modification, since extraplanar threats are not very common in Ansalon. Ranger: Beast Master, Drakewarden, Fey Wanderer, Gloom Stalker, Horizon Walker, Hunter, Legion Scout (restricted to the Legion of Steel), Monster Slayer, Swarmkeeper Most Rangers venerate one of the gods of nature according to their alignment: Habbakuk (good), Chislev (neutral) and Zeboim (evil) and can join the Holy Orders of the Stars. Alternatively they are individuals who rely upon primal sorcery and/or mysticism. Rogue: Arcane Trickster, Assassin, Inquisitive, Mastermind, Phantom, Scout, Soulknife, Swashbuckler, Thief The special abilities of some Rogues are usually the result of primal sorcery and/or mysticism. Sorcerer: Aberrant Mind, Clockwork Soul, Draconic Bloodline, Divine Soul, Shadow Magic, Storm Magic, Wild Magic Sorcerers are individuals especially capable in the use of primal sorcery and/or mysticism. Despite not actually sharing the bloodline of beings of magical power like dragons and angels, they do have a strong affinity for one type of magic, which is represented in the powers they unlock within them. A creative interpretation may be needed to explain this like having been taught magic by a dragon or seeing primal magic as some part of Reorx‘s masterplan for the world. Choosing spells with a certain theme („mind“ spells, healing spells, „animal-affecting“ spells, „empowering“ spells etc) might add flavor to the character. Below are briefly described the 11 schools of sorcery (magic that can only affect inanimate objects) and 9 spheres of mysticism (magic that can only affect living or once-living beings). Primal sorcery and mysticism are considered „lesser“ forms of magic, lacking the variety of high sorcery and true divine magic, but they also require less study and no devotion to a deity. Sorcery: Aeromancy (air and wind manipulation), Cryomancy (cold and ice manipulation), Divination (knowledge of past, present and future, projection of one‘s mind through time and space), Electromancy (lightning, electricity and magnetism manipulation), Enchantment/Enhancement (imbuing objects with arcane power, improving them or giving them new abilities), Geomancy (earth and stone manipulation), Hydromancy (water and liquid manipulation), Pyromancy (fire and heat manipulation), Spectramancy (light and color manipulation), Summoning (space manipulation) and Transmutation (non-living matter manipulation). Mysticism: Animism (animals and plants manipulation), Alteration (living matter manipulation), Channeling (magic that enhances the physical characteristics of beings), Healing (healing magic), Meditation (magic that enhances the mental characteristics of beings), Necromancy (corporeal undead manipulation), Sensitivity (understanding of creatures‘ auras) and Spiritualism (incorporeal undead and spirits manipulation). Warlock: Archfey, Celestial, Dragon Overlord (new), Fallen Tower (new), Fathomless, Fiend, Genie, Great Old One, Hexblade, Undead, Undying Warlocks are extremely rare in Ansalon and represent individuals who have made a pact or possess a strong bond with a creature or sentient object of great power like the Forestmaster (Archfey), the Huldrefolk (Great Old One), Fistadantilus or Lord Soth (Undying and/or Undead), a Scion, a Dragon Overlord, a destroyed Tower of High Sorcery, an Orb of Dragonkind or some other legendary artifact etc. Some modification may be necessary for some of the Warlock patrons to better match the flavor of the setting. Wizard: Abjuration (restricted to White Robes or Renegades), Bladesinging (restricted to Qualinesti and Silvanesti Elves, White Robes), Chronurgy, Conjuration, Dark Dwarf Savant (new, restricted to Theiwar or Daegar Dwarves, Black Robes or Renegades), Divination (restricted to White Robes or Renegades), Dreamshaper (new, restricted to Red Robes), Enchantment (restricted to Black Robes or Renegades), Evocation, Gravirurgy, Griffon Wizard (new, restricted to Qualinesti or Silvanesti Elves, White Robes), Illusion (restricted to Red Robes or Renegades), Kingfisher (new, restricted to White Robes belonging in the Knights of Solamnia auxiliary forces), Necromancy (restricted to Black Robes or Renegades), Renegade Hunter (new, restricted to White, Red or Black Robes), Scribes, Sea Mage (new), Transmutation (restricted to Red Robes or Renegades), War Magic, Winternorn (new) Joining the Orders of High Sorcery confers both significant benefits and severe limitations to the wizard. On the other hand choosing the path of the Renegade means that the mage has to follow no rules but their own, but could be persecuted by all loyal members of the Orders, if witnessed to practice unsanctioned magic. ******* The Moral Axis Alignment   Since the PCs are supposed to be heroes in the classical sense, evil alignments are not allowed. Good characters choose to actively guide, help and support others, while neutral characters believe more in an individual’s free will and the consequences of a person’s actions, though they will often lend a hand for a cause they deem worthy. Deity   A PC may choose to worship a god (or not) and even actively try to promote that deity‘s agenda, though this is entirely optional. In such a case they may be gaining bonuses based on the Piety System as described in the DMG and further elaborated in MOoT. Only good and neutral gods may be worshipped by PCs, though I may make an exception for a character worshiping a more “benign” aspect of an evil deity as long as such a thing doesn’t affect the cohesion of the party. Originally there were 21 gods in the Dragonlance pantheon. The High God and Chaos are beings entirely beyond mortal comprehension and have neither priests nor mortal followers. With the conclusion of the War of Souls Paladine, the patriarch of the gods of good, has become a mortal and Takhisis, the matriarch of the gods of evil, has been killed and her soul claimed by the High God. Though they no longer grant spells, there may be some who still believe in their teachings and honor their memories, though these faithful will not be receiving any boons from the former gods. Mishakal now leads the gods of good and Sargonnas the gods of evil. Mina is the latest addition to the pantheon, though she is not represented in the heavens as a constellation. She doesn’t have a clerical order dedicated to her and is both good (having been born a goddess of light) and evil (having been corrupted by Takhisis).

Symbol: Black Circle or Sphere Sacred Color: Black Unaligned gods Mina (NG/NE) - Goddess of Tears Divine Power of Sorrow Province: Grief, Loss, Mortality Domains: Twilight Symbol: Amber Teardrop Sacred Color: Amber Affiliation   A PC may be affiliated with or seek to join one of the major organisations in Ansalon, though this is entirely optional. In such a case they may be gaining advantages based on the Renown System as described in the DMG. The most influential and well-known organisations in Ansalon are the following: Knights of Solamnia “Est Sularus oth Mithas”/“My Honor is my Life” The Knights of Solamnia are an ancient knightly order founded by Vinas Solamnus about two thousands years ago on the teachings of Paladine, Kiri-Jolith and Habbakuk as exemplified in the Oath and the Measure. The knights are the traditional custodians and protectors of Solamnia, though they were fiercely persecuted by the commoners in the dark years after the Cataclysm. Their numbers rose after the War of the Lance, though they suffered major casualties and loss of prestige during the Summer of Chaos and the War of Souls. Despite this, they are still considered the foremost champions for good in Ansalon. The Knights of Solamnia are divided into the Orders of the Crown (dedicated to loyalty and obedience with Habbakuk as its patron), Sword (dedicated to courage and heroism with Kirk-Jolith as its patron) and Rose (dedicated to justice and wisdom with Paladine as its patron). Knights of Neraka (formerly Knights of Takhisis) aka Dark Knights “Submit or Die” The Knights of Takhisis were founded by Ariakan, son of Emperor Ariakas and the goddess Zeboim, with the goal of conquering and uniting Ansalon under the rule of the Dark Queen. Though they were initially successful in defeating both the Knights of Solamnia and the force of mages sent by the Orders of High Sorcery to stop them, the assault of Chaos decimated their numbers and led to the demise of their leader. After the apparent disappearance of their goddess they gradually turned from the honorable path of their founder, changed the name of the order and offered their services to any Dragon Overlord that would have them. The Knighthood is divided into three orders - the Knights of the Lily, expert warriors, the Knights of the Skull, clerics of Takhisis and dark mystics, and the Knights of the Thorn, mages not belonging to the Orders of High Sorcery initially and sorcerers in the Age of Mortals. The Knights of Neraka are evil and usually not considered a suitable organization for the PCs to join, though an exception could be made for characters wanting to reform the order and restore their sense of honor or a former knight or apprentice in search of redemption. Legion of Steel “All we have is Each Other” The Legion of Steel is the youngest of the three Knighthoods, having been founded by Sara Dunstan, Steel Brightblade’s adoptive mother, after the Chaos War. The Legion is not overly concerned with notions of good and honor, seeking merely to help the common people of Ansalon in every way it can, whether by defending them from those that would harm them, sabotaging those that oppress them or even by simply providing them with food or assisting them to rebuild their damaged houses after a dragon attack. The Legion is organized in clandestine cells, since many of its members work in the shadows, and divided into warriors and scouts, though friendly spellcasters also fill its ranks and support their fellow members. Wizards of High Sorcery “The Warrior has his Blade. The Wizard has his Magic.” The Wizards of High Sorcery have established themselves as the only group with approval from the gods to wield arcane magic and act as something of a guardian of access to powerful spells and potentially destructive magical devices. They are composed of three orders, each following one of the three gods of magic, represented by Krynn’s three moons. The evil Black Robes follow Nuitari, the black moon, Red robes follow Lunitari, the red moon of neutrality and White Robes follow Solinari, represented by the white or silver moon. Each individual who wishes to join must find a teacher who is in good standing with the Orders and, once acquiring sufficient knowledge and magical power, travel to the Tower of High Sorcery at Wayreth and pass the potentially deadly Test of High Sorcery. Those that succeed are considered full members of their chosen Order, are taught that Order’s closely guarded secrets and may rise in rank and prestige, possibly acquiring a seat in the Conclave itself. Those that fail are either killed during the Test, forced to renounce arcane magic or must live their lives as Renegades, constantly on the run. Holy Orders of the Stars These are the priestly orders worshipping the newly returned gods of light, balance and darkness with the exception of the moon gods and Mina. Each priesthood has different goals, motto and structure and little in common with those devoted to other deities. Each new cleric can only receive their Medallion of Faith from a member of the Holy Orders of the Stars, though they need not worship the same god. Citadel of Light The Citadel of Light was founded on the island of Schallsea by Goldmoon, one of the last remaining Heroes of the Lance, in an attempt to master and teach others the Power of the Heart or Mysticism. Each of the nine spheres of Mysticism, with the exception of Necromancy, which is forbidden, has a Lyceum dedicated to it, where experienced mystics tutor their apprentices. In order to join the Citadel each aspirant must first ascend the Silver Stair, an ancient staircase leading to heaven and offering visions to those that have the courage to climb it and face their dark sides. The Citadel has been rebuilt after Beryllinthranox’s attack and continues to welcome those who look into their own hearts in order to share their gifts with others. ******* The Personality Traits   These are the two characteristics that set your PC apart from others, as described in the PHB. Though the suggested Traits of a Background can certainly be used, it is encouraged that players make up their own, though they may be similar to existing ones. Ideal   This is the one thing your character values above everything else, the one virtue that determines their beliefs and actions, as described in the PHB. Though the suggested Ideal of a Background can certainly be used, it is encouraged that players make up their own, though they may be similar to existing ones. A PC’s Ideal may be identical to that of the god they worship or an organization they belong to or not. Bond*   The character’s Bond will be paramount in motivating the PC to take part in at least the early part of the game. It must be a beloved individual of special importance to the PC that passed away after the theft of the world by Takhisis but before the return of the gods at the climax of the War of Souls. The spirit of this individual has been unable to find their way to the Gate of Souls and the Beyond and is forced to aimlessly wander the mortal world. The PC is somehow aware of this (dreams, visions, premonitions etc) and is looking for a way to grant this restless soul peace, though both mundane and magical means have been unable to accomplish it thus far. Flaw   A character’s Flaw is the thing that will occasionally get them into trouble despite their better judgement. Acting in such a way is sure to grant the PC Inspiration or some other bonus. Though the suggested Flaw of a Background can certainly be used, it is encouraged that players make up their own, though they may be similar to existing ones. ******* The Creative Touch Appearance   I require a short description of the character‘s appearance, usually a paragraph or two, including the physical characteristics, typical outfit and possibly a kind of mannerism that might stand out during a casual encounter. You are encouraged to add a picture, though if you cannot find a suitable one or are generally against using pictures for your PCS, a „concept“ picture (a pouch for a kender, a horned helmet for a Solamnic Knight etc) will suffice, since I intend to use said picture for character tokens. Backstory   This is the part where I would like to hear about your character‘s origins and early days. It may be as short or long as you like. Remember that the older the character, the more you will have to know about the official lore. If you need any assistance, please be sure to ask, though I will be sure to point out any inconsistencies I spot in my review. Please also keep the backstory consistent with that of a first level character. There are (almost) no restrictions as far as age and social status are concerned, but your character should not be known for any special achievements - possibly with one or two exceptions, if that better suits the concept you have in mind. Roleplaying Sample   The roleplaying sample should describe the moment the character became aware of the return of the gods and their reaction to it, similar to the “inspirational vignette” I have provided. The sample may be as short or long as you like - ideally it will resemble your typical “in game” post. Please bear in mind that the War of Souls ended just a few months before the start of the adventure. If you are roleplaying a devout character, the divine presence in their life is a very recent occurrence, unless they belong to one of the long-lived races and followed the gods before the Chaos War. ******* The Mundane Familiarity with the Dragonlance setting, the Age of Mortals and the adventure modules:   Self explanatory. I don’t expect many people to be familiar either with the Age of Mortals or the adventure modules. Status of the application:   Work in progress, waiting for review, reviewed, completed.

Final Notes The Dragonlance lore is extremely rich with over a hundred novels and dozens of adventure modules and game supplements for various DnD editions. As can be expected the material is full of inconsistencies, which are known as “kender tales” among the fans. Sovereign Press has made a great effort of establishing a certain canon and that is the lore I will be trying to stay true to. If you are looking to learn more about the world, the Dragonlance Nexus and the Dragonlance Wiki are two excellent sources of reliable information and I will be using both to refresh my memory when needed. At the moment there is no Wizards of the Coast approved, official content for Dragonlance DnD 5e, though an Unearthed Arcana article appeared a short time ago, which has given rise to some hope that the Dragonlance campaign setting might be officially supported in the near future. If that is the case, some of the material might need to be modified, but until that time all Unearthed Arcana content remains mostly inspirational rather than material that will be used in the game.

Correct!

Yeeeah... So interested words cannot even begin to describe it.

[Elanir]

So very glad to hear it, FCastor. I am very excited to see what you’ll come up with. By the way, I promise that vorpal blades are banned from this campaign. Just to be certain…

Honestly? Quite possibly a Silvanesti or Qualinesti Wizard, probably a Bladesinger, by the name of Ethaniel Moonsilver.

[Elanir]

Sounds perfect!

[Begon Ugo]

So... Kender... kender... kender... Application incoming my friend!

[Elanir]

Thank you, Begon! May I be hoping… handler?

[Begon Ugo]

Kender... handler... archeologist! Mayhem in the pursuit of knowledge!

[Elanir]

Very inspired! Finally a new “hands on” breed of scholar in Ansalon. Beware, Aesthetics!

[keylan]

I'm a huge DL fan. Also very interested in joining this campaign. Possibly a cleric but most likely a knight of Solmina

Perhaps a Knight of the Sword? It’s the best of both worlds.

[RossN]

Yay! Dragonlance! I've got a lot of love for that setting!

Hmm... I do like Wizards but I see you already have a volunteer there. Perhaps a Rogue then or maybe a Sorcerer? Oh... the pain of decisions...

[Elanir]

Welcome, RossN! All classes are useful and all are needed. Just go with what you would like to play the most.
