Editing Dragonlance (section)

==Eras==
Krynn has undergone many different Ages of note throughout its history.

Age of Dreams: The dawn of the world.

The First Dragonwars: Takhisis first attempts to conquer the world with her armies of black robed wizards, evil clerics and [[Chromatic Dragon]]s, battling the forces of the Gods of Good and their [[Metallic Dragon]] allies. Huma and his Silver Dragon waifu sticks a dragonlance where the sun doesn't shine and she skeedaddles like a Tiamat-expy bitch.

The Reign of Istar: A [[theocracy|theocratic]] empire ostensibly dedicated to the Gods of Good claims dominion over the world. Its ruler, the King-Priest, ultimately causes the Cataclysm.

The Post-Cataclysm: The centuries where the mortal races rebuild their civilizations without the use of divine magic.

The War of the Lance: Takhisis sneaks back to Krynn and tries to invade it again, forcing the other gods to finally come back so they can stop her.

The Second War of the Lance: Takhisis' remaining forces strive to resume their crusade. Raistlin attempts to open the portal to the Abyss and challenge Takhisis so he can usurp her place. Goes horribly wrong.

The Chaos Wars: The overdeity Chaos is freed and it seeks to unmake the world. After it is defeated, the gods declare they're going to leave Krynn forever, because they've brought too much suffering. In reality, Takhisis basically "stole" the planet from under their noses and hid it from them.

The Age of Dragon Overlords: Giant dragons from alien worlds arrive on Krynn and use bizarre high-magic rituals fueled by the souls of slaughtered dragons to magically terraform the regions they conquer to their living.

The Age of Mortals: Takisis attempts to enslave the world under the guise of a new monotheistic deity. The other gods come back and kick her ass, with Paladine sacrificing his own godhood to end Takhisis' threat forever.

===Alternate Timelines===
Covered in the 3e [[splatbook]] "Legends of the Twins", named after the novel series revolving around timetravel, these are the known alternate timelines branched off from Krynn:
* '''Kingpriest Ascendant:''' The Cataclysm never happened, and instead the Kingpriest of Istar pulled off his plan to steal the gods' power and rule the world.
* '''Magocracy of Ansalon:''' In the wake of the Cataclysm, the surviving wizards got together and decided "yeah, fuck those rules about not interfering with secular authority; the priests fucked it up for us!" and patched civilization back together, creating a world that is actually way better off than mainstream Krynn, all at the cost of clerics being persecuted and religion banned.
* '''Dragonlands:''' Takhisis won the War of the Lance, and the world is trying desperately to fight off her influence.
* '''Hourglass in the Sky:''' This is the alternate timeline created by Raistlin killing Takhisis, and then murder-hoboing his way through the rest of Krynn's pantheon when they come after him to avenge her. Because he can't figure out the "create life" aspect of god magic, he's basically going to obliterate everything.
* '''War of the Darklance:''' Chaos never broke free of the Graygem, so instead the Knights of Takhisis, spiritual successors to the Dragonarmies from the War of the Lance, are focused on trying to conquer the world.
* '''Age of Dragons:''' Takhisis doesn't steal away Krynn after the defeat of Chaos, so instead everybody is given a chance to ask "so, what the fuck do we do now?"
