Wow... I would love to give some information, but your question is just too all encompassing for me to answer.
Which age and which aspect would you like to know anything about
This should help though:

Palanthas
The city of Palanthas was once considered to be the center of all learning. The city is divided into two parts: Old City, the building contained within the spokes of the protective wall, and New City, the buildings added when Palanthas grew out of its walled enclosure. A port city built on the Bay of Branchala, Palanthas contains one of the two remaining Towers of High Sorcery, this one protected by the Shoikan Grove, as well as the Great Library of Astinus.
Palanthas was the only city that was truly spared by the first Cataclysm; many refugees from the rest of Ansalon came to the circular city in an effort to find answers and a better life. Following the War of the Lance, the Temple of Paladine was erected in Palanthas, and it became the center of worship for the gods of good. The Blue Lady's war brought the first real threat to Palanthas in over three centuries: remaining draconian troops and chromatic dragons under her command attacked and destroyed much of the ancient city.
In the first year after the Second Cataclysm, the contents of Astinus's library have disappeared and the Tower of High Sorcery has been destroyed.
Palanthas is situated at the entrance to a northern bay, making it Solamnia's most important port. Guarding the only overland passage to the city, through the mountains, the High Clerist's Tower blocks any access to the city. It was said that the Tower would never fall as long as men of faith defended it. Sadly, the Solamnic defenders never faced men of faith in the field, and the Tower fell to the Knights of Takhisis during the Summer of Chaos.

Well, as the capital of Palanthas and the only city untouched after the cataclysm, it is prety much the nicest place to be on Krynn until the a few years before the second cataclysm (in novel terms: Before Dragons of Summer Flame). Show however, that new city is richer and kind of ignores old city. SHow that it is a city where the law is quite important. Show off its disparities in income between the classes. On top of that show that its citizens have a certain disbelief of all the troubles the rest of teh world is going through.
Have you read the Novels?

Ah. Well, apart from what is in the link above (Dragonlance.com), I am afraid you will still have to wait several months for the Campaign setting to be released. until then, there is no "official information", and your guess on what the fear DC of Shoikan Grove is etc. as good as mine.Forest said:
In this thread (with large images) you can read up on the 3e future of Dragonlance (especially in the later pages).
