[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9471817, member: 18182"] Y'all's interpretation of exactly what that means. And really, your quotations of exactly what WotC stated. IMO, WotC's statements on canon do not mean that the only canon source for Dragonlance now is Shadow of the Dragon Queen. That there is a void before and after the events of this adventure. Simply that WotC isn't going to rigidly adhere to canon from older sources. We're picking nits, arguing about canon when canon isn't really all that important. So, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. It's similar . . . again, IMO . . . to how Lucasfilm treats material from the Star Wars expanded universe before the Disney purchase. All that stuff is still there . . . quasi-canon if you will. Maybe it happened, maybe not, it depends on the needs of the next movie, novel, video game, or comic series. WotC is unlikely to de-canonize Chronicles and Legends at all. And they haven't de-canonized anything else. It's just if and when they do create a new Dragonlance product, they might change up some of that classic canon. Or they might not. It's still there, but they may choose to not use it. But either way, the events of Dragons of Eternity do not conflict with Shadow of the Dragon Queen at all, regardless of how you consider canon. Which is what started this side discussion. In other words, it just doesn't matter at all . . . until perhaps when WotC publishes another Dragonlance product that does conflict with earlier canon. Which they haven't, yet. [/QUOTE]
