It was atrocious the way it glossed over the impact of so much trauma and upheaval. It's simply heart-wrenching the way the people of Krynn were betrayed in such a short time span. Imagine if we, in the real world, were just recovering from a subprime loan crisis and recession, and all of a sudden, we face World War III and governments across the world are replaced with tyrants, immediately followed by World War IV, while God/Allah/etc. officially withdrew from humanity and then returned and then withdrew and then returned again, destroying the faith of every member of every church and synagogue and mosque and temple in the world, and meanwhile, major new discoveries in science and technology turned out to be wrong and inoperative, and entire career paths and organizations (clergy, scientists, government) turned upside down. But after all these crises in war and religion and mutations in the very fabric of society, we're still kind of OK and society remains more or less functioning. As for the Forgotten Realms, it was never really believable to begin with. War of the Lance was a believable fantasy setting though until the Fifth Age hit the fan.</blockquote>
