A valid reason other than your assumption could have been created and not submitted, created and then cut by the creators, or created and then cut by TSR.  Unless you can prove what the reason(if any) actually was, you cannot logically eliminate any reasonable possibility.If you want to illogically claim that it must be because the gods didn't create orcs, be my guest.  Just don't expect anyone else to follow your assumption.I'm ignoring nothing.  There is literally nothing that supports your assumption.Why would orcs not being in Krynn be a major event of a setting that only covered a few hundred years? There are thousands of years of history and many major events that must have happened during that time that the setting doesn't mention.If you're talking about the origin "story" at the beginning of the Dragonlance Adventures book, then there are also no Centaurs, Carrion Crawlers, Dryads, Giants, Undead, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Trolls, etc. that are listed on the Unified Ansalon Monster Chart.Clearly the origin story doesn't mention anywhere near all the races created, which means orcs could have been created and overlooked there as well.That's the most likely reason, yes. Occam's Razor doesn't not yield the only possible reason or even the correct reason. Only the most likely.  In this case, since we know about editing of media and human fallibility, it's only the most likely by a hair.  You declaring what MUST be the reason is pretty logically borked.ROFLThen, oh knowledgeable one, quote to me where it says what that orcs were not created by the gods and that's the reason that they don't exist.  If you can't, then you are talking out of your behind with the above statement.</blockquote>
