Dragonlance Dragonlance Shadow of the Dragon Queen shows up in the wild!

[Demetrios1453]

So, about the return of the gods for the characters, it happens like this:

Characters with divine magic classes have had visions and dreams. One night, just before the start of the main adventure, they find mysterious overgrown ruins that said characters are mysteriously drawn to. Inside they find statues of whatever deities the divine magic characters worship, holding their holy symbol(s). They hear the voice of the god(s), telling them to be their herald to share their diving message in the world, and are imbued with the ability to cast their magic.

I'm not seeing any dates as of yet other than it's 451 AC. So, whether this is before or after Goldmoon is apparently up to the whether anyone actually feels strongly about it.

Character reaches out and takes their respective Holy Symbol from their respective Deity

Ah, so Verminaard is already in Abanasinia, and that's why Kansaldi is leading the attack on Kalaman. That definitely aligns with this being later in 351 AC.

I think it's time to accept that the target market for this book isn't diehard / longtime DL fans. It's more for casual fans, who may only be familiar with the Chronicles trilogy, and new players, who know nothing about Krynn. It's an introduction to the setting via an adventure that focuses on the theme of war.

Quoting myself for reference. Here's the first paragraph under the heading "Using This Book":

"This book presents a glimpse of the world of Krynn through the lens of a specific conflict. Rather than providing an overview of the entire world, the book focuses on the region surrounding the city of Kalaman in the nation of Solamnia as the War of the Lance first reaches its borders. Details of the world and the perils facing Kalaman are presented through this introduction, supplemented by reports from Solamnic scholars and soldiers."

I reject the premise.

I reject the premise.

I think I do too. Maybe? But I do think the adventure does try to be inviting to including the wider D&D universe while also leaving enough for tables to limit it.

They mention they think this is the most OneD&D forward compatible.

Good. No one besides the players and GM should give any consideration to "lore." You are playing a divine caster? Cool. You get to be among the first.

In lore I see it this way: after the evil gods broke the rules and started enlisting evil clerics, the hood an neutral gods had to abandon whatever agreement they had and just start throwing out divine power to likely mortals. Was it optimal? No. But you don't have time to vet every Goldmoon with an army of Verminaads out there.
