  • DRAGONLANCE! Actually, the Name of the World Is Krynn
    Another world, another adventure. Another reality to explore, a thrilling new … library? A library, complete with the faintly musty smell of old tomes. Long tall stacks of books, scrolls, and tablets run the length of the chamber you find yourself in. Seated at a desk near the back of the chamber is a lone figure. He scratches away with quill and ink on a scroll, pausing only to wet his quill in a small inkpot and look into a crystal globe located to his left. “Astinus of Palanthas, Master of the Library of Palanthas and Historian of Krynn. He keeps a record of everything that happens here. Everything of note, at least. Most people think he’s immortal or some kind of god. No one seems to know for certain, though.” No one? Your Benefactor smiles one of those little smiles you’ve become so familiar with. “Well, maybe not no one.

Actually, the name of the world is Krynn. Dragonlance is the title given to the intellectual property created, ‘created,’ by Margret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. So, if you’d like to take a minute to read up on what this place is about, now’s the time and here’s the place to do it. Or I can just give you the Chain’s Notes. Get it? Chain’s Notes? It’s like Cliff’s Notes, but … never mind.” “In the beginning was The High God and from the Beyond he called forth Paladine, Gilean and Takhisis, good, neutral and evil gods respectively.
