[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8809051, member: 6802378"] Elves created by Tolkien weren't designed to be a lineage for a TTRPG, and we can say the same about lots of aliens from sci-fi and fantasy. Dragonlance drinks from the spirit and the essence of the 80's, and the 5Ed drinks from different sources, not only fantasy literature. And some DMs would rather to alter the lore to avoid players who have read the books knew too much. Maybe it is an alternate timeline where lord Soth saved the day killing the king-priest of Istar but agents of the cult from the older eye broke the graygem to start the "chaos summer". Or the deities of Krynn had to accept a deal with Vecna, and now the Krynnspace is in other place in the space-time continium, among other reasons the Vodoni empire wanted to destroy the world of Krynn because they suspected the secret base of the order of the chronomancers was there...(really this was in the mirror-plane within the Krynnspace). If there is a future videogame of Dragonlance, I guess a complete team of screenwritters will be working in the retelling, adding a lot of details about the war of the lance. Maybe a time-traveler avoided the chaos summer and the age of the mortals didn't start, but there is an alternate future where the overlord dragons become quasigods, creating their own demiplanes or domains, something like their own version of "Council of Wyrms", and suffering as "visitors" the unwellcome spider-dragons.
