"...the Gods have returned, and so has Divine magic and the three Moons of High Sorcery, but it is not the same anymore. The last four decades have taught us a lot.

The mood turned somber and the mage spoke again; this time in a deliberate tone, laced with caution.
"The two Dragon Overlords- Gellidus, or Frost; and Onysablet, known to all as Sable- still reign over Southern Ergoth and Central Ansalon respectively, biding their time to unleash devastation onto Krynn.
" The power-greedy Minotaurs, led by General Hortak and his High Priestess wife Nepher, have occupied the former lands of the Silvanesti elves, reinforcing their position on mainland Ansalon. They will not stop until total domination of Ansalon has been attained."
"The Ogres of Kern and Blode, reluctant allies of the sea-faring Minotaurs, are emerging as a force too, their leaders gaining territory as we speak."
" Elves now roam the land as homeless exiles. Kenders and Dwarves are slowly rebuilding their ravaged homelands after enduring the horrors of the last War. The Draconians have Teyr to call their own, escaping the scrutiny and prejudice of Krynn's populace."
"Many cities- Palanthas, Sanction, Khur, Nordmaar, and Solanthus, are all trying to regain the former glory they had once enjoyed before the War. Trade routes are being re-opened and communications re-established. But the Solamnic Knights and the Orders of High Sorcery are in shambles- save for the Dark Knights of Neraka- the different factions are still engaging in endless debate on how to settle their petty differences, never being able to see eye-to-eye in their lust for control in this new age."
"Krynn is perilously perched on a thin ledge. But for all that matters, we have hope. This time, I-"
The world is in desperate need of heroes. Can YOU make a difference?
