They could lose battles and sometimes even being killed. And the modern speculative fiction allows them to be enoughly vulnerable. In the videogames Kratos killed many of them. Of course D&D Tiamat is not like the original from classic mythology, but we also should remember the original Thor was redheared and not blonde, and Loki was not adoptive Thor's brother. ---I thought Dragonlance would be the next one, but now I am wondering about the modules. If they are too "railroad" then they are not enough good for the future videogame adaptation. This means maybe they are going to start all the adventures from zero. (A second reason is to avoid these to be "spoilered" by the players who read the novels or the PDFs. Other reason is to allow changed in the list of main characters. For example Tika is redheared-darksinned, Tasha Burrfoot is a girl (cousin, by adoption, of the original Tasslehof), Theros Ironfeld an artificier and Crysania (psionic ardent or favored soul) as (new) members of the heroes, Sturm is a "crusader"(martial adept with divine martial maneuvers) and Raistlin has got tribal tatoos on his face (and secret levels of warlock class, thanks Fistandantilus' curse). Wouldn't be it change the canon too much? No if they are only alternate options in the tabletop and the future videogame. Other reason is if there is some game-show streaming serie to promote the line, they can't use the original plot because it is too known by the fandom. But we can explain the retcon by fault of chronomancers (time-traveler spellcasters) who created a parallel timeline. "Sithicus" ( = land of wraiths) would be the name of the region of Shadowfell linked with Krynn sphere. There are some "domains" where the dark lords are the children and concubines+wives of Beldinas Pilofiro (Kingpriest of Istar and secretly psionic ardent or favored soul) fighting each other for the succesion (the classic harem intrigues). I imagine something like "Xanxost's Guide for the Planeswalkers". Dark Sun for 2022, maybe accompanied by a new Magic: the Gathering created to be a mixture of possible spin-off and spiritual succesor.</blockquote>
