Human
Common tongue
Adaptable, everywhere, filling the ranks of every faction from the Dragonarmy to the Knights of Solamnia.
[ WORLD DOSSIER ]
Krynn. Continent of Ansalon.
One world, one war, and every people on it arguing about what the gods' return actually means.
[ CENSUS RECORD ]
Who walks Ansalon.
Twenty playable peoples call Krynn home. Six of the most common at Lhambor-Kanan:
Elf
Elven tongue
Long-lived and slow to trust. Kagonesti and Qualinesti alike make up the backbone of the Wildrunners.
Dwarf
Dwarven tongue
Hold the deep mines of Thorbardin. The Conclave and every smith on Ansalon pay well for what they bring up.
Minotaur
Minotaur tongue
Seafaring and militant. Make up much of the Dragonarmy's naval strength — though not all of them serve willingly.
Kender
Kenderspeak
Fearless, footloose, and allergic to the concept of property. Turn up everywhere — oddly common among the Brotherhood's contacts.
Gnome
Gnomish
Mechanically inclined to a fault. Their contraptions rarely work as intended, and that has never once slowed them down.
[ DIPLOMATIC STATUS ]
Nobody agrees on anything.
Standing relationships between the great powers of Ansalon. All of them are one incident from changing.

[ WORLD CHRONICLE ]
How we got here.
- 300 Years Ago
The Cataclysm
The Kingpriest of Istar overreaches, seeking to burn evil out of the world by force. The gods withdraw. A fiery mountain falls, Istar sinks, and the Blood Sea covers what's left.
- 100 Years Ago
The first answered prayer
In a village most people have forgotten, a woman with a blue crystal staff heals someone. The gods were still there. They had simply never answered — until then.
- 70 Years Ago
Lhambor-Kanan founded
Refugees and traders build a foothold at the crossroads south of the war-torn north, betting that neutral ground can survive what marches through it.
- Recent
The Dragonarmies march
Five wings under one Queen sweep south. The Knights of Solamnia are the only organised military response. The Conclave holds its neutrality, barely. The Holy Order is rebuilding from almost nothing.
- Now
Present day
The war is north of Lhambor-Kanan today. Tomorrow, that's not guaranteed.
