TIME OF CREATION

        Highgod awakens; Chaos is subdued; The Tobril, The Book of all Knowledge of Krynn is written. Greater gods are born. The king of Wyms and eldest sibling Paladine, the Queen of Wryms & youngest sibling Takhisis,  and the greatest  sage Gilean , who is given Tobril.  

 

"Some other legends and Krynnish Songs tell the Story of Gilean the Mortal who's greatness was rewarded by the Highgod that gave him the Torbil. Then Gillean read the Book and became a God of equal status with Paladine and Takhisis"

        Lesser gods answer call from the greater gods: Mishakal , Majere , Branchala  are the gods of good, Reorx , Chislev , Zivilyn , Sirrion , Shinare  are the gods of neutrality, Sargonnas , Morgion , Chemosh , & Hiddukel  are the gods of evil.

        The universe is made by Reorx with a hammer made from the essence from the other gods. Stars made from the sparks of the forging and light the heavens. Chaos is slowed and Krynn is forged from it. Order is brought to the chaos.

        Chromatic Dragons are made by Paladine & Takhisis. Takhisis perverts the Dragons into creatures of evil.

        Reorx forges statues of Dragons from precious metals to cheer Paladine. Paladine breathes life into these statues creating the Dragons of good.

 

THE FIRST WAR OF THE DRAGONS:

 

The gods & Dragons of good battle the gods & Dragons of evil. Chaos threatened their creation so the gods withdrew.

        Peace: lesser gods born: Kiri-Jolith , Habbakuk , & Solinari  born of Paladine & Mishakal; Lunitari  born of Gilean; Zeboim  & Nuitari  born of Takhisis and Sargonnas.

        To prevent Krynn from being destroyed by battling Dragons, all powerful spell magic was removed from Krynn. Only minor spells were available from the natural magic within each being.

        During the time of peace the gods hear singing in the heavens. There are living spirits discovered in the stars and they are coveted.

 

ALL-SAINTS WAR:

 

 All gods fight for control over the spirits.  Watching his children fight, the Highgod sought to punish them by destroying their world. Seeing the destruction the gods once again ceased fighting. To maintain a balance that would keep the peace, the gods would give the spirits one gift then withdraw from the world. The gods of good gave physical control over the world. The gods of evil gave desire and mortality. The gods of neutrality gave free will.

 

        The first Ogres, Elves, & Humans are born. The Ogres take the mountains, the Elves take the forests, and the Humans take the plains.
