[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 4823582, member: 3867"] The War of the Lance set up the world, so really, only two major changes since - the Chaos War (30 years after WotL) and the War of Souls (70 years after WotL). The first through third dragon wars are ancient history. So more than two generations there. Compare that to the real word. World War I and World War II were just a generation apart. How many wars have there been since? Or compare that to Star Wars, with the Old Republic in one generation, the Rebellion Era in another, and the New Republic/New Jedi Order in a third. 130 years after that is the Legacy Era. Sounds like they have galaxy-shattering events every generation. ;) As for "a dozen Cataclysms left and right," that's overstated. The Cataclysm was part of the backstory of the world, and was there from day one. The SAGA design team called the end of the Chaos War and the introduction of the dragon overlords the "Second Cataclysm" (which I personally feel is a misnomer). And no, the War of Souls was not a cataclysm. Yes, the gods returned (minus Paladine and Takhisis), but that was to set up the current post-War of Souls era in the Age of Mortals. [/QUOTE]
