[QUOTE="krunchyfrogg, post: 788972, member: 10107"] The above is describing only the 4th age of Dragonlance (actually, the 3rd age ends with the Cataclsym, where the gods leave the world). Since I've only read books of the 4th age (the original Weis and Hickman trilogy is the best stuff), I'd just like to add to the above info: There aren't any sorcerers (maybe they come in in the 5th age), orcs, or halflings in Krynn (The DL world). There are Draconians (telling you what they really are is a spoiler), kender (fearless, kleptomaniac 3e halflings), and all of the wizards need to take "The Test." The Test is taken at one of the Towers of High Sorcery (I think there's 4 or 5 in Ansalon, the main continent of Krynn), and passing The Test is obviously an initiation into a PrC. You take The Test around level 3, IIRC, and definitely before you can cast 3rd level spells. The Test changes every wizard who takes it, usually humbling them, and making them realize to rely on their magic, nothing else. Wizards who pass The Test wear one of 3 different colored robes, to match their alignment: Good Wizards wear White, Neutral wear Red, and Evil wear Black. There are restrictions on spells depending on their color. Also (I don't know how they'll translate this into 3e), Black is the "fast and easy" way, and they advanced on the fastest XP chart, with White being the slowest, and Red in the middle. Wizards who refuse to take The Test are considered Renegades, and are to be hunted by any and all Wizards of High Sorcery. The magic is affected by the three moons of Krynn. There's a White, Red, and Black moon (although only black robed wizards can find the black moon). When the moon is full, the wizard of the appropriate robe is more powerful, and when it's a new moon, the Wizard is at his weakest. [/QUOTE]
