	* [[Elf\|Elves]] - Creations of the Gods of Good. Despite this, they are constantly fucking things over for the world. Like in the [[Forgotten Realms]], there are multiple different species, most of which are ethnicities for specific races. Krynn is most notable on the elf-front for having [[Aquatic Elf\|aquatic elves]] who both repeat the high elf/wood elf split internally and possess unique shapeshifting abilities.		* [[Elf\|Elves]] - Creations of the Gods of Good.

	* [[Ogre]]s - Creations of the Gods of Evil. However, these weren't the ugly, dumb, savage brutes we think of today, but basically giant evil blue elves. Their culture fell into decline, and they split into two races; modern "Low" Ogres, who are ~~prettymuch~~ the same as ogres in other settings, and the [[Irda]], who renounced evil when their people began to degenerate and so have preserved their magical mary sue natures.		* [[Ogre]]s - Creations of the Gods of Evil.

	The setting is fairly interesting, in its own way, with a lot of positive traits. For example, it's one of the few settings to focus on giving lots of variety to demihumans as well as humans - [[dwarves]], for example, come in at least three major typings (Hill, Mountain and Dark), with each typing being made of multiple ethnicities, or clans.

	On the other hand, there's also a lot of [[derp]] or even outright [[fail]] involved. This ''is'' the setting that gave rise to the infamous race known and loathed as the [[kender]], after all. And the "Good" dragons are not "good" per se, but outright petty, selfish cunts that were happy letting the world drown in blood and torment as long as "their" eggs were safe.

	Lovely.

	The setting began with a trilogy, focusing on a band of adventurers, and their quest to stop the world being conquered by armies of dragonriders, goblins and [[draconian]]s in league with [[Takhisis]], Goddess of Evil. The reason why all this happened? Well, that's a long story...

	The '''Lunar Magic''' [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)\|Sorcerer]] already suggests that WotC will be taking their established 5e level of care for the lore of the setting; older fans of Dragonlance will remember that the lunar deities [[Solinari]], [[~~Lunari~~]] and [[Nuitari]] invented [[wizard]]ry to ''extinguish'' the power of Primal Sorcery, which drew its power from the fundamental forces of creation, not from the moons. The Lunar Sorcerer does have precedent... but it's in the ''Cosmic Sorcerer'' of [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]]. That said, there's a reason for it... and that's because it's intended to evoke the "feel" of the original Wizard of High Sorcery in mechanics, now that Wizard of High Sorcery has been reduced to just a background, alongside the Knight of Solamnia.

	Anyway, mechanically, the Lunar Mage starts with the features "Moon Fire", which gives them Sacred Flame (which can target 2 targets at once if they're within 5 feet of each other) as a bonus cantrip and "Lunar Embodiement", which gives the sorcerer not one, but ''three'' bonus spell lists depending on whether they're attuned to the Full, New or Crescent Moon - they choose which at the end of each long rest. Level l6 gives them "Waxing and Waning", which lets them spend 1 sorcery point to change their attuned lunar phase, and "Lunar Boons", which can be invoked Proficiency bonus times per long rest to reduce the sorcery points cost of metamagic by -1 (down to 0) when applied to spells from two schools depending on which lunar phase the lunar mage is attuned to; Abjuration and Conjuration for Full Moon, Evocation and Necromancy for New Moon, and Divination and Transmutation for Crescent Moon. Level 14's Lunar Empowerment gives the sorcerer a permanent bonus based on which lunar phase they are attuned to, whilst level 18's Lunar Phenomenon lets them use a bonus action to trigger a special power based on their lunar phase for 5 sorcery points (and free 1/day).
