Editing Takhisis (section)

==History==
Takhisis was one of the three greater gods created by the High God at the creation of Krynn, matched by [[Paladine]], God of Good, and [[Gilean]], God of Neutrality. Originally supposed to be Paladine's wife,  she quickly got sick of that idea and abandoned him, shacking up with [[Sargonnas]] to rule over the Gods of Darkness, a sub-pantheon of the Krynnish deities.

During the dawn of time, the Age of Starbirth, Takhisis corrupts the original five dragons, creating the five races of [[Chromatic Dragon]]s and sparking the All-Dragons War when Paladine creates the five races of [[Metallic Dragon]]s. When this war threatens the survival of Krynn itself, the gods are forced to withdraw into other realms.

Here, Takhisis begins the All-Saints War, where the gods fight for control of the spirits that will ultimately become the mortal races of Krynn - the fighting gets so bad that the High God forces them to put an end to it.

In the Abyss, a resentful Takhisis breeds with the first five Chromatics to ensure that they will never go extinct, mothering the entire race of Chromatic Dragons single-handedly. Brooding for revenge, she founds her church upon Krynn and seeks total domination. The Three Dragon Wars are born of her machinations, and the Third Dragon War actually sees her stride Krynn in physical form for a while, before she is defeated by the knight Huma Dragonbane and made to withdraw back to the Abyss.

It's unknown just what Takhisis's connections to the Cataclysm were, but it's clear she used it to her advantage. Whilst the other gods withdrew from Krynn altogether, she maintained a slender connection, deftly manipulating her loyal worshippers on the world and building her strength, igniting the War of the Lance in an attempt to conquer Krynn for herself before the other gods realized she'd betrayed their oath of non-intervention.

Unfortunately for her, the other gods realized that she lied a lot sooner than she had anticipated, and they quickly rallied to return to Kyrnn as well, thwarting her schemes. Undaunted, Takhisis kept scheming until the Chaos War erupted, after which the gods withdrew from Krynn entirely for a second time, beginning the Age of Mortals.
