The <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Beldinas_Pilofiro" target="_blank">Kingpriest</a> sought godhood to not only purge the lands of evil, but of anything that did not agree with his viewpoints. However, such an act would ultimately destroy the Doctrine of Balance, so Thirteen Warnings were sent to the <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Beldinas_Pilofiro" target="_blank">Kingpriest</a> and the nation of <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Istar" target="_blank">Istar</a>. A storm battered the city for thirteen days, trees wept blood, and other ill omens were seen. The warnings were misinterpreted as signs from gods of Darkness that wanted to stop the <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Beldinas_Pilofiro" target="_blank">Kingpriest</a>, and went unheeded. On the third day of the year <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/0_PC" target="_blank">963 IA</a> by the <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Istar" target="_blank">Istar</a> calendar, the <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Beldinas_Pilofiro" target="_blank">Kingpriest</a> demanded that the gods answer his call. Instead, the Cataclysm occurred. Though it was widely believed that the gods abandoned Krynn, this was not so. Instead, most of <a href="https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Krynn" target="_blank">Krynn</a>'s populace could not understand why the gods refused their cries for aid, and turned away from the gods for over three hundred years.---In my own version of the story the good deities tried surgical attack but the evil deities manipulated the divine punishment to go beyond. The fact is the burning mountain falling from the sky was almost accidental. That "meteor" really was a "flying citadel" or a spelljammer of a faction who wanted to invade the Krynnspace. But there was an internal fight between two factions, maybe chronomancers who wanted to stop the invaders. Do you remember the scifi stories where the heroes destroy the control knobs of the alien mothership and this fall on the earth? Well, this time it was with a lot of collateral damages.Could any innocent life to be saved? Yes, there was a little trick. Thanks to premonitory dreams, many made a pilgrimage to certain caves looking for healing waters. They were in a safe place during the cataclysm. And other fact is most of innocent people they left the capital years before because they felt too unconfortable with a faith what had forgotten the mercy and the respect for the human dignity.Other point is a totally unknown secret. When the kingpriest Beldinas Pilofiro called the deities, really he was answered, but not by the deities of Krynn but a outsider power. This was going to promise kingpriest to become the supreme god to rule the Krynnspace and to punish the Krynnian pantheon. This couldn't be allowed. The silence of the deities for the age of despair was also fruit by the fight against this outsider power, something like a softer and temporary version of the fate of the gods in the setting "Birthright". They were too busy and weaked by this fight. This could happen in at least one of the alternate timelines, but it also affected the rest of parallel worlds.</blockquote>
