Dragonlance is a series of High Fantasy novels and an accompanying Dungeons & Dragons setting, devised by husband-and-wife team Tracy Hickman and Laura Hickman, and popularized via novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.The concept of the Balance Between Good and Evil is a central theme of the setting, as the stories have shown similarly dire consequences when good and evil each spiral out of control. Another theme that's prevalent throughout the books is spiritual abandonment and discovery, as the gods have a distinct tendency to run out on the world whenever they screw things up badly enough. This shows up even in the first novel, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, as the gods had abandoned the world some hundreds of years before after the first Cataclysm, and the protagonists must not only deal with the covert return of Takhisis, the Dark Queen of the evil gods, but also with the Seekers, who have invented false gods as a pretext to seize power.Notable for taking extreme D&D influences and making them work on their own. For example, the original "Heroes of the Lance" consisted of such a generic Tabletop RPG party that they could easily be renamed according to their character classes — if it weren't for the fact that each character is given a strong and distinct personality, detailed backstory, and oodles of Character Development (for most of them) throughout the series. Also notable for mixing stock Medieval European Fantasy with a Native American flavor (the Plainsmen, and a lot of the artwork), a bevy of unique and sometimes quirky races (Kender, Gully Dwarves, Draconians, and plenty of others), a unique magic system, and a greater focus on Dragons as the primal movers and shakers of world events.In the Planescape, Ravenloft, and Spelljammer settings, the Dragonlance setting is part of a larger universe that also includes the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk.The Dragonlance world has turned into a major setting with many authors writing stories for it — in total, at the time of writing there are more than 200 novels comprising it, not including anthologies, manuals, and various other extras.In 2008, Paramount released a Direct to Video Animated Adaptation based on Dragons of Autumn Twilight.In development since 1998, a Russian musical adaptation of the Legends Trilogy called The Last Trial was first released in 2009. The stage play premiered in 2014, and has undergone multiple alternate endings, iterations, and expansions since then.On April 2022, during the D&D Direct event, Wizards of the Coast announced that the Dragonlance setting will be adapted for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, complete with an adventure module titled Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen as well as a board game titled Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn. Both of these titles were released on December 6, 2022.

Anyone Can Die
 Dragonlance / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: Pretty much the entire central series from Dragons Of Summer Flame onwards. The fates of the cast of the original trilogy: Sturm is killed by Kitiara in Winter Nights, Flint dies of a heart attack in Spring Dawning, Raistlin and Kitiara both die at the end of the Legends Trilogy (although this doesn't stop Raistlin from showing up a few more times), Tanis is shot from behind by a mook in Summer Flame, Tasslehoff is squashed by Chaos' foot in Summer Flame (although he comes back for awhile, he eventually returns so he can die when he's supposed to), Riverwind dies in between books when the Dragon Overlords come, Laurana died during the battle against Beryl in Qualinesti, and Goldmoon died in Mina's arms in the War of Souls. Gilthanas and Silvara can die according to the adventure path Price Of Courage, that wasn't committed to a book. Caramon and Tika both died peacefully of old age, and Alhana Starbreeze is the only one left alive (Laurana's brother Porthios is also still alive but may or may not count as one 'of the cast' depending on your point of view.) Any of Richard A. Knaak's books. Special mention goes to the Minotaur Wars trilogy. Even being immortal doesn't save you!

Darker and Edgier: This is what the Fifth Age was likely meant to be. The heroes of the Dragons of a New Age trilogy only succeed in stopping the Big Bad's plan, but at the loss of one of their companions. It also marked the first time that a kender's antics directly resulted in getting them killed.

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: The chain of events leading into the Cataclysm. The Kingpriest of Istar started by crusading against Always Chaotic Evil monsters, then against followers of evil gods, then against the wizards of the black robes, then against less organized and powerful evildoers... then finally anybody who wasn't good enough. In the end, he decided that the only way he could eradicate evil entirely was to become a god. The gods caused the Cataclysm in a last-ditch effort to stop him.

In fact, when it came time to convene the Conclave and elect new leadership, Coryn was made Master of the White Robes. She protested at this, claiming that she had a legitimate claim at being Master of the Conclave after coming out of her Test strengthened, rather than handicapped. The remainder of the Conclave disagreed, as her previous use of Primal Sorcery had left her tainted in their eyes, and despite her promises, they could never be sure she wouldn't fall back on using it in the future. Being made the Head of her order was the best they could do, and they flat out told her that she had no chance whatsoever of being made Head of the Conclave and that she should be happy with the position she has.

Mutually Exclusive Magic: Godly Magic and Ambient Magic are like this in a way. Godly magic is either magic granted by the gods to their Clerics, or magic drawn from the Moons Gods from their three moons in the sky. Ambient magic is either Wild/Primal Sorcery, which is drawn directly from Krynn, or Mysticism, which is drawn directly from the users soul. They are generally believed to be incompatible with each other.

Vancian Magic
 Dragonlance / int_1f1248fc
comment
Averted when it comes to arcane magic-users, most notably Raistlin. D&D makes heavy used of the Vancian Magic system, and this carries over to the books, when he struggles to learn advanced spells, even when he has the proper spellbook in front of him, as well as having a limited amount of spells per day and needing to reread his own books in order to replenish his supply. One notable example of this trope is that in the books, memorizing a spell explicitly allows you to cast that spell only once before it vanishes from your memory and you have to re-read your spellbook to memorize. Even in the 1st edition rules, however, a character can memorize the same spell multiple times. It seems like the authors were trying to come up with a less wonky explanation for spell memorization.

Artificial Limbs: The Silver Arm of Ergoth is a legendary artifact from the Metallic Dragons that is used to construct dragonlances. The arm itself resembled a human arm from the shoulder blade down to the hand and could magically shift to become either a right or left arm. The arm contained the ability to heal wounds or regenerate lost limbs. In Dragons Of Winter Night, Silvara gives it to Theros Ironfeld after she's convinced to help the heroes craft dragonlances.

Nigh-Invulnerability: Whenever there is a cleric around that is on your side, everyone else becomes nigh-invulnerable, unless their faith isn't strong enough. Mina in the War of Souls trilogy because she is protected by Takhisis. Who protected who? Mina unknowingly used her own powers for Takhisis' case. Lord Soth, since technically he's already dead and cursed to live a lifetime for every person his actions killed.Given he's responsible for the Cataclysm happening, needless to say, that's a lot of lifetimes. Warlord Crynus, who can survive and recover from any injury, up to and including decapitation. Huma, thanks to The Power of Love and Incorruptible Pure Pureness goes toe-to-toe with the supreme god of evil in Good Old Fisticuffs and wins.

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: In the Age of Dreams, the Wizard Conclave created five portals to link the five Towers of High Sorcery. Unfortunately, in creating an extraplanar means of rapid transit between them, they also unknowingly created a link to the Abyss. Takhisis, never one to miss an opportunity to come into the world, gave a black-robed mage a dream in which she told him that she was a beautiful woman trapped in another plane and that he was the only one who could save her. He fell for it completely. Ever wonder how the Third Dragon War that Huma fought in started? Well...

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Raistlin's unrelenting desire for power leads him to an epic Face–Heel Turn, betraying his brother, his friends and a woman who loved him, and nearly destroying the world by killing the Gods and taking their place: starting with the Dark Queen.

comment
The Knights of Neraka faction, the Knights of the Thorn. They can cast arcane spells with a reduced chance of failure when using armor, and often resort to melee combat. They are referred to as Grey Robes, in a mockery of the aforementioned wizards of High Sorcery.

Magnificent Bastard
 Dragonlance / int_23015b1f
comment
Dalamar is also the "hero" of his own subplots. The audience roots for him on a combination of his being something of a Magnificent Bastard (though he's got nothing on his shalafi) and because Dalamar as the most powerful Black Robe in the world is sufficiently better than the alternative.

Science-Related Memetic Disorder
 Dragonlance / int_23510712
comment
Science-Related Memetic Disorder: This is what the Tinker Gnomes as a whole suffer from, a divine curse cast upon them by Reorx when he created them from disappointing human servants of his in the mythical dawn of the races. Though they burn with ceaseless scientific inspiration and curiosity, for the vast majority of the race, the curse clouds their wits and renders them incapable of doing actual science. Some of them double down on the trope by viewing the curse as a blessing, viewing any design that actually does what it's supposed to instead of something new and unexpected as suspicious at best, and anything that does what it was designed to do on the first try as an outright heresy on the part of the creator, worthy of exile or worse.

Ultimate Final Exam
 Dragonlance / int_240fee1f
comment
Ultimate Final Exam: The Test given to aspiring High Sorcery wizards. In D&D terms, applicants are already 3rd or 4th level and are already have several spells, but the Test is the gatekeeper to any more advanced power. The Test determines whether the wizard has absolute commitment, skill, and responsibility to magic. If any of these qualities is found wanting, the most likely outcome is death; if the wizard is lucky, he'll live and the Test will wean out the lacking attribute (usually in extraordinarily painful and life-altering fashion).

Gilthanas himself, having regret rejecting her spends most of Gilthanas Odyssey trying to retrace her journey and they do eventually reunite in the Dragons of a New Age trilogy.

Head-Turning Beauty
 Dragonlance / int_2ceee1dc
comment
Head-Turning Beauty: Laurana. The first time the Companions see her they are completely mesmerized and can do nothing but stare at her and babble on about how she is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen. Even Raistlin is affected by her beauty. Later on her Arch-Enemy, Kitiara, can do nothing but bitterly complain about how everyone raves about Laurana's beauty. Many characters notice Silvara is extremely attractive, which is actually an annoyance for her since she doesn't want to stand out she usually purposedly stays covered in layers of grime and filth to downplay this, with limited success. And while she's Silver Dragon and thus a Voluntary Shapeshifting she actually can't take a form that isn't considered attractive by whatever species she shapeshifts into. Her body as Arlena Plata is the closest she got to a normal human woman, after years of practicing and she's still considered far above average.

She Is All Grown Up: Tanis notices this after he pulls his Childhood Friend Laurana down on top of him. Especially justified as he is a half-elf and she is a full elf, so he hit puberty at least a decade before she did. Happens with Caramon and Tika. He remembers her as a little freckled brat and is stunned by what she's grown into (and what has grown onto her) after he's been gone for five years.

Cursed with Awesome
 Dragonlance / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome: Wizardry in general, with the Test always asking a steep price. Raistlin's in particular; attaining his magic left him with ruined health, golden skin, white hair, and golden eyes with pupils shaped like hourglasses that see the world and everyone in it perpetually decaying around him. The Test also doubles as a Curse That Cures, the curse being in this case death by failure. Often the Test will find a would-be wizard to be skilled but lacking in some way. The Test will let them live and the wizard will pass, but the Test will find a way (often traumatically) to remove whatever is keeping the applicant from being fully devoted to the study of magic. Justarius, the Master of the Conclave after the War of the Lance, was in his youth a very skilled athlete; his Test left his leg permanently crippled, so that he had to abandon that aspect of his life in favor of full magical study. Other examples include a charming dandy having his face deeply scarred, or a woman deeply desiring of starting a family being left barren. Anything the applicant might prioritize over the magic is fair game to be targeted. Also, Lord Soth: his betrayal of his wife and abandonment of his Gods-given mission left him an immortal undead knight who can terrify even the 'fearless' Kender race and kill people by pointing at them and saying 'Die'. Cool. This is subverted in that, while Soth was miserable as a Deathknight, just about every other 'fallen knight' cursed to become one has enjoyed it immensely. Mostly because they were horribly corrupt to begin with, rather than easily manipulated.

Even Evil Has Standards
 Dragonlance / int_319e4a2f
comment
In a short story called "Boom", a gnome actually invents an atomic bomb. It is quite blatantly thus, too, being fuelled by the splitting of the fundamental particles of reality (which he calls "atomies") and with it being mentioned that an area in which it detonates will be rendered barren and lifeless for several human generations. His fellow gnomes thought that this idea sounded so dangerous that they confiscated and tried to bury all his research. Driven mad by this, he built an atomic handgrenade and tried to offer it to a Dragon Highlord. Between questioning just how they would be able to actually use the thing and quailing at the sheer destructive potential it held, the Highlord refused, ultimately hiding the bomb away in the impenetrable mountains and sending the creator into slavery.

Unequal Pairing: Laurana's an elven princess who's in love with Heroic Bastard Tanis. Her family, mostly Gilthanas, disapproves of the relationship. Ironically, Gilthanas himself ends up falling in love with Silvara, a Kagonesi elf maiden of low status. Even more ironic, she's actually a very old silver dragon who's much older, stronger and wiser than him, meaning he's actually on the other end of this trope, which he can't quite deal and he ends up spurning her, though he comes to regret it years later.

Planetary Relocation: This turns out to be the reason the gods seemingly abandoned Krynn at the end of Dragons of a Summer Flame, as well as why the constellations in the sky are now different: At the conclusion of the War of Chaos, Takhisis stole the whole planet out from under the other gods' noses, planning to rule it herself. Unfortunately the act proved so taxing for her that she was too weak to prevent other parties from taking an interest in ruling Krynn, and she had to enact a rather risky plan to clear the field again.

Artifact of Doom
 Dragonlance / int_3b5fcbb7
comment
Artifact of Doom: The dragon orbs, powerful magical crystals imbued with the powers and essences of chromatic dragons, are very powerful but even more dangerous. When Lorac Caladon, King of Silvanesti, tries to use one, it enslaves him and turns his nightmares into a reality that engulfs his kingdom. Raistlin later seizes Lorac's orb and initially dominates it, but it later nearly enslaves him until he smashes it in frustration. The Sword of Miracles gets a passing mention in the Legend of Huma as the very same sword that was used to cause the downfall of the Ogres, turning them into the twisted creatures they are now. That it tried to get Huma to wield it before he realized its peril speaks to a malevolent nature.

So Beautiful, It's a Curse
 Dragonlance / int_3b9b21c9
comment
Many characters notice Silvara is extremely attractive, which is actually an annoyance for her since she doesn't want to stand out she usually purposedly stays covered in layers of grime and filth to downplay this, with limited success. And while she's Silver Dragon and thus a Voluntary Shapeshifting she actually can't take a form that isn't considered attractive by whatever species she shapeshifts into. Her body as Arlena Plata is the closest she got to a normal human woman, after years of practicing and she's still considered far above average.

Noodle Incident
 Dragonlance / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: A somewhat famous one was mentioned when Par-Salian was sharing details of the time travel spell with the other Heads of the Conclave from his Tome of Eldritch Lore. One of the restrictions was that time travel cannot be used to prevent the Cataclysm, "something we have learned at great cost, to our sorrow". The other two wizards treat this as a stunning revelation, while Par-Salian says that even trying was a desperate, foolish act. This incident has never been mentioned, before or since, and the Annotated edition has the authors declaring, "Who is this mysterious time traveler? We'll never tell!"

Schizo Tech
 Dragonlance / int_3c5ae1a1
comment
Schizo Tech: To an extent, The Gnomes of Mt. Nevermind power their extinct volcano home with geothermal power. One Gnome in the short story "Boom" by Jeff Grub made an atomic bomb, but it never got detonated. A Gnome in the novel Conundrum made a suit of Powered Armor. The Gnomes in general have a higher tech level than the rest of Krynn. It is prone to malfunctioning and exploding a lot, but apparently even they can get stuff to remain stable enough to use reliably (such as their Geothermal power). A lot of this technology doesn't spread because a lot of people are afraid of Gnomish Technology. Justified, once you consider that nine times out of ten, gnomish technology has a nasty tendency to explode. Or break down catastrophically. Or do something radically, potentially lethally, different from what it was designed to do. The tenth time, it works fine or can be repurposed into something that does what you expect it to. But you wouldn't want to wait around for that tenth time, either... To say nothing of the fact that any Gnomish invention that isn't potentially lethal is considered a failure by the Gnomes, and treated as a hindrance to technological progress. Any tech that actually simply works is considered something of a failure by the Gnomes; if it has no flaws, how can future generations improve on it?

The Greatest Story Never Told
 Dragonlance / int_3e95582f
comment
The Greatest Story Never Told: Subverted. One of the big lines for writing stories featuring the original characters from the first trilogy is taking up mentioned events or questions about what happened to various characters off-screen. Want to know what happened to Sturm and Kitiara when they went off together after the first meeting of the Heroes of the Lance? Want to know how and why Flint was captured by gulley dwarves? How Flint and Tanis met Tasslehof Burrfoot? There are novels answering all of these.

Dropped a Bridge on Him
 Dragonlance / int_43a045de
comment
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Most of the deaths of the original Heroes. The character mentioned in Downer Ending above is killed in a noble Heroic Sacrifice that perfectly suited his character, but that doesn't always happen. The others? SPOILERS AHEAD:Flint's sudden heart attack, Tanis getting stabbed in the back by a random Mook just after recognizing Steel as Sturm's son, Laurana and most of Qualinost literally having a dragon so huge that she frequently ate other dragons dropped on them, and Goldmoon has the life drained out of her by Takhisis after she defies the goddess. On the other hand (or not) Caramon and Tika pass away peacefully of old age. And right before Caramon goes, he realizes that something is terribly wrong and makes a Last Request to Gerard that sets him and others on the path to making it right. Raistlin decides not to usurp Takhisis' godhood after seeing the terrible future that would come to pass if he did, and ends up in a magical sleep for most of the rest of his life (waking up and visiting Krynn a few times to make things more interesting). Tasslehoff gets stepped on by Chaos, but manages to cut his foot a split second before that, which allows the heroes to get the drop of Chaos' blood required to defeat him. Riverwind is mortally wounded while fighting in Kendermore, but his actions buy enough time for a lot of kender to escape the dragon Malystryx.

Honor Before Reason
 Dragonlance / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: The Knights of Solamnia. And how! Their absurdly strict code of honor for dictating their every action was criticized numerous times throughout the setting, and they could spend hours debating over the most minute of clauses in the Oath and Measure, to the point where they are utterly bewildered when someone made an action that wasn't dictated by it. These problems were partially rectified when Lord Gunther released a revised Measure (the knighthood's code of laws) that was far more flexible in how it dealt with certain protocol, ironically taking a page from the Knights of Takhisis, who steamrolled across Ansalon in a matter of weeks due to a unity in purpose and became surprisingly tolerated in occupied lands due to their stern-but-fair brand of justice and ability to (sometimes literally) cut through red tape. But before then, literally centuries went by where a vast majority of the knighthood's higher offices were vacant due to a requirement in the Measure that a minimum number of knights be present to vote in candidates. But the Measure never took into account that in the wake of the Cataclysm, such a quorum didn't exist. So the knighthood could not elect new leaders because of an unfeasible requirement of the Measure, but could not alter the Measure because there existed no provisions within the Measure for it to be altered. The knighthood's darkest hour came when their final stronghold was under siege by the dragonarmies and the various faction heads continued to struggle for the leadership under parliamentarian points of order.

Worthy Opponent: The Knights of Takhisis, at least originally. Though devoted to an evil goddess and imperialistic they had a strong sense of honor and treated their subjects sternly but not barbarically. After the disastrous War of Chaos (that saw the Knights lose both their leader and goddess) they slowly degenerated into a band of brutal thugs and sellswords. At least until Mina came along. The Minotaurs view anyone who can give them a good fight like this, especially the Solamnic Knights. Extends to the Minotaur's god, too. Sargonnas views Paladine and Kiri-Jolith as worthy opponents, and vice-versa.

You Do Not Want To Know: During Dragons of a Fallen Sun, some of the characters hold a secret meeting in a tavern run by gully dwarves. The book then explains that despite gully dwarves' many faults, they are surprisingly good cooks - provided that you tell them specifically what you do not want them to put in your food, like rat meat. So they'll make you a meal that is not only edible but quite tasty, but the book says that if you watch the preparation of said meal you will not be able to enjoy it. It's also mentioned that the gully dwarves serve some decent dwarf spirits. The dwarf spirits are made from mushrooms. The mushrooms are grown in the bedrooms of the gully dwarves. If you are unfortunate enough to know this, it says, you would do well to avoid thinking about it too much and just enjoy your drink.

Always Chaotic Evil
 Dragonlance / int_4832a3bb
comment
Always Chaotic Evil: There are a couple races that fit, but pretty much every "always evil" race has subverted this trope at least once by now. The Draconians are introduced as this, only to have it revealed that because they inherited their draconic progenitors' intelligence and independence, they are quite capable of growing beyond their evil "programming". The most notable subversion is Kang and his band of engineers, who while starting out as evil (in the alignment sense) are nonetheless sympathetic, likable, and relatively honorable characters (they eventually ensure their race's future, found a city, and if a scene at the end of the War of Souls trilogy is anything to go by, pull a Heel–Face Turn on Takhisis). Flamestrike, a senile Red Dragon general grieving for the loss of her children, was manipulated into guarding the children of slaves captured from Solace. She comes to genuinely love and dote upon them as her own, and the affection is quite mutual on the part of said children and their mothers. Her love for them was so strong that she literally flew into a rage to protect them against the younger and more powerful Ember when his rider threatened to destroy them, saving their lives at the cost of her own. Minotaurs are Always Lawful, and although most of them are evil and worship Sargonnas, some turned to Good and the worship of Kiri-Jolith.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Dragonlance / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The early years of the setting had some oddities because not everything about how the setting worked had been worked out yet. So, in some instances readers can see references to "Drow", which do not exist on Krynn (Ansalonian Dark Elves are Elves who have been banished from their homeland, not dark-skinned elves who live underground). Exactly how many wars Takhisis and her dragons waged to try and conquer Krynn before Huma banished her also took some time to pin down; the novel The Dragons eventually confirmed Huma's war as the Third Dragon War.

Unresolved Sexual Tension
 Dragonlance / int_50ca4422
comment
Unresolved Sexual Tension: Goes on and on and on between Raistlin and Crysania in Legends. At least in Raistlin's eyes, letting love blossom would distract them both from the purity of purpose necessary to control the dangerous magical forces integral to his master plan. It's not strictly a Virgin Power, but it's related.

 Dragonlance / int_50ed1af4
comment
Our Demons Are Different: The three Fiendish races, Daemons, Demons, and Devils exist, but they are all subservient to the gods of evil. They are rarely seen, as the gods of evil prefer relying on their mortal servants to do whatever they want done. The gods of evil are even far more likely to send an aspect of themselves to talk to their followers directly than to send a Fiendish servitor.

Munchkin: Raistlin Majere, both in and out of setting. Starts off with a character build that lowered his constitution to the point that he constantly coughs blood in exchange for increased intelligence and magic-detection with the trade-off actually written into his backstory... and goes into a positive-reinforcement cycle from there, ending only when he becomes one third of the world's pantheon. At which point he stops and reconsiders since in D&D that kind of thing makes your character an NPC.

Magic Versus Science
 Dragonlance / int_511728ae
comment
Magic Versus Science: Not really a key aspect of the world, but many Tinker Gnomes believe that science is superior to magic. Interestingly, the Solamnic Knights, who do have some White Robed Wizards as part of their Auxiliary, have shown a keen interest in Tinker Gnome technology. The Solamnic Knights are often portrayed as not being too fond of magic (except for a Cleric of a good deity, and they may not even consider what Clerics do magic) and so they are interested in finding technological methods to improve their lives, and many Knights wish they did not even have the White Robes as part of their Auxiliary forces.

Locked into Strangeness: Raistlin, as a result of the Test of High Sorcery, which allowed him to become a full-fledged Red Robed Wizard, left him with metallic golden skin, white hair and cursed eyes sporting hourglass-shaped pupils. In the Dragonlance The New Adventures books, Nearra got a streak of black (the "possessed" hair color) in her normally blond (the "normal" hair color) hair after the events of the first book, in which she came dangerously close to having her Superpowered Evil Side takeover.

Loving a Shadow
 Dragonlance / int_516f986d
comment
Loving a Shadow: Raistlin has shades of this for Laurana in Dragons of an Hourglass Mage. Because he sees time's effects on all things and because Laurana is barely out of her teens in elf years, she is perhaps the only person Raistlin can still see as beautiful. She also treated him with a healthy dose of awe and respect, which is a lot more than the barely-restrained suspicion he got from most of the others in the party. He realizes that his crush (to call it that) is just a fleeting fancy, but that doesn't stop him from looking for ways to rescue her from Kitiara should the opportunity arise. Though it never did.

Our Dwarves Are All the Same
 Dragonlance / int_5281d5b1
comment
Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Varies depending on the writer. Dragonlance is one of the few settings that brings in the varied dwarf races that are present in D&D. At the very least, Flint (main character in early books) is a hill dwarf, not a mountain dwarf — and then there's the gully dwarves (technically hybrids). In a few books you get the equivalents of the Dungeons & Dragons "derro" and "duergar": the Thiewar and Dewar, one of whom is a pale race that can't handle bright lights but spawns the only dwarven mages, and one of which is apparently Always Chaotic Evil with a tendency to madness. Morlocks also exist, but appear to be isolated to a very small geographical area beneath Karthay, as seen in Dalamar the Dark.

Significant Anagram
 Dragonlance / int_52db461d
comment
Significant Anagram: Metatextual. Margaret Weis uses an anagrammatized Fizban as characters in other works: in The Death Gate Cycle he becomes Zifnab, and in Starshield, he becomes Zanfib. It's implied that he might be the same continuous character throughout all the series he appears in; he just can't remember his name when he shows up, though not necessarily. For example with Zifnab it seems more likely that he actually had read the Dragonlance Chronicles in his youth, and modelled his personality after the character he liked the most. He also tries to become James Bond at times, with less success.

Corrupt Church: The Church of Paladine under the last Kingpriest of Istar became one of these. The Kingpriest himself was a notable aversion, never becoming corrupt in the traditional sense. Of course, things might have been better if he did. We actually see a world where the Kingpriest overthrows the gods in a short story. It's... not pleasant.

The Empire
 Dragonlance / int_556a4e20
comment
The Empire: The Dragon Highlords (early on) and the Knights of Neraka. Also the Minotaur empire. On a more historical basis, Ergoth was a large and highly oppressive empire before Vinas Solamnus' rebellion reduced it to a vestige of its former power. By the time of the Cataclysm, Istar had become an empire that stretched across most of Ansalon and had wiped out all but a few scattered strongholds of resistance. The Taladas continent had the Aurim Empire, which unlike the civilizations of Ansalon, had been the sole major power of the continent since time immemorial. The empire was destroyed when the Cataclysm exited out the opposite side of Krynn from Istar and created a gigantic inland sea of magma. The spirit of Maladar, the last emperor of Aurim, attempted to use the power of Hith (Hiddukel) and his own mastery of dark magic to raise the empire during the Taladas Trilogy but he was foiled.

Deceptive Disciple: Raistlin. After having gained power and knowledge from the ghost of the undead evil archwizard Fistandantilus, Raistlin became the next Master of Past and Present. He then traveled into the past to usurp all of Fistandantilus' powers by going back to a time when the man was still mortal and posing as one of Fistandantilus' own apprentices. When Fistandantilus tried to suck out Raistlin's lifeforce and take over the young man's body to extend his own life (as he used to do with his apprentices), Raistlin killed Fistandantilus instead and took his place in history. Dalamar also made a career out of betraying Raistlin, his master. Of course, Raistlin knew about it the whole time.

Magic Knight

Magic Knight: There's a semi-religious organization of Wizards of High Sorcery who actually try to subvert this trope. They've made all sorts of laws and social stigma against a wizard wearing armor or carrying martial weapons. Wizards who do so anyway are looked down upon, such as... The Knights of Neraka faction, the Knights of the Thorn. They can cast arcane spells with a reduced chance of failure when using armor, and often resort to melee combat. They are referred to as Grey Robes, in a mockery of the aforementioned wizards of High Sorcery. The main reason they even are allowed to carry daggers is because Huma made a big deal out of it after his friend the wizard Magius was tortured before being killed. The daggers are meant to be used to avoid this fate, more than for actual combat.

Black-and-Grey Morality: The Rise of Solamnia trilogy. The protagonist, Jaymes Markham, is a Utopia Justifies the Means warlord who murders prisoners, breaks truces and uses a Love Potion to get a useful princess to fall in love with him (see What the Hell, Hero? below). The villains are (marginally) worse. The Minotaur Wars trilogy has this in spades too, with a choice between a quite possibly psychotic, merciless and vengeful rebel leader with a penchant for murdering prisoners, leading his followers on pointless death marches and fantasizing over the deaths of friends and enemies alike, or a Corrupt Church led Empire that enslaves the dead and makes any who speak out against it mysteriously disappear. Most half-decent characters have a habit of dying.

Our Ogres Are Different: Krynnish ogres are very different from — and more prominent in-universe than — the D&D standard. They're actually the degenerate descendants of the local precursors, who were blessed with incredible beauty, strength, magic and long lives by the gods of evil and used them to enslave ancient Krynn. They ended up being consumed by decadence and were overthrown by their slaves and splintered into various sub-races, including the Irda (defectors from decadence who hide in remote regions), the minotaurs (saved from destruction by Sargas and remade in his image and who consider themselves the true inheritors of the ancient ogre empire) and the more "classic" ogres (whose downfall twisted them to become monstrous barbarians but who still dream of reclaiming their ancestors' power).

He enables Tanis's assassination of Ariakas and helps Berem to seal the temple stone, preventing Takhisis from entering the world, so he can go forward with his own master plan of becoming a god. This also occurs when the Knights of Solamnia and the Knights of Takhisis team up during the Chaos War to fight off Chaos. Also at the end of the Third Dragonwar the Black Robes ally with Huma and the Knights of Solamnia when it becomes apparent Takhisis intends to replace them with Galan Dracos and his cabal of renegades. Their first loyalty is to Nuitari after all, not Takhisis.

Fictional Constellations: The gods each have their own constellation in the night sky - Paladine's is a platinum dragon, Reorx's is a hammer, and Takhisis's is a multiheaded dragon, for example. When a god is active on Krynn, their constellation vanishes from the sky. In the bad future where Raistin defeated the gods to take a place among them, his new constellation (an hourglass) was dominant in the sky, pushing the constellations of the remaining gods aside.

Fake Wizardry: There was a funny variant on this in the series... during Raistlin's time-traveling tutelage under the Great Big Bad Evil Wizard Fistandantilus. At one point, he and several other apprentices are asked to demonstrate their magical proficiency in a room heavily warded with anti-magic - allowing them to rattle off the right incantations without actually blowing anything up. That is, until Raistlin shows off by producing an actual fireball along with his incantations. Everyone is terribly impressed, since it seems like he's managed to break through wards set up by Fistandantilus himself, but as it turns out, it was all just sleigh of hand - he palmed a small alchemical firecracker and threw it to coincide with his spell. A skill hailing back to before he learned actual magic, when he practiced stage-magic for kicks. (Those skills also turn out to be very, very important later on, but that's another story.)

Big Eater: Caramon eats a lot in the "Chronicles" series, and is miserable if he's deprived of regular (and very large) meals. Despite this, he never gets fat, presumably due to his active lifestyle. In the "Legends" series after Raistlin abandons him, he becomes so depressed that he ceases to be active and takes up drinking heavily. That, combined with his big eating, soon turns him into a tub of lard.

Outdoor Bath Peeping
 Dragonlance / int_615cad18
comment
Outdoor Bath Peeping: In Dragons of Winter Night Gilthanas accidentally stumbles upon Silvara bathing on a waterfall near where they're camping. He tries to Ignore the Fanservice and leave, but fails as he gets too entranced by the sight of her bare back and she eventually notices him Eating the Eye Candy. She's very perturbed by it at first and even reaches for her weapon, but he manages to calm her down and they actually have a bonding moment. The incident raises the Unresolved Sexual Tension to the point where they both confess their feelings and the scene ends with a Sexy Discretion Shot. The illustration for the chapter title is even a Sexy Silhouette of Silvara naked in the water.

Heel–Face Turn
 Dragonlance / int_617f0563
comment
The Draconians are introduced as this, only to have it revealed that because they inherited their draconic progenitors' intelligence and independence, they are quite capable of growing beyond their evil "programming". The most notable subversion is Kang and his band of engineers, who while starting out as evil (in the alignment sense) are nonetheless sympathetic, likable, and relatively honorable characters (they eventually ensure their race's future, found a city, and if a scene at the end of the War of Souls trilogy is anything to go by, pull a Heel–Face Turn on Takhisis).

Color-Coded Wizardry
 Dragonlance / int_61cd6e2b
comment
Color-Coded Wizardry: The three Orders of Magic might as well be the Trope Codifiers as far as Dungeons & Dragons is concerned. Each Order is defined by its philosophy towards magic (which also works out as determining their Character Alignment) and also its magical focus. The White Robes believe in using magic for philanthropic purposes, and so they focus on Abjuration and Divination magics. The Red Robes only really care about magic as a whole, and so focus on Illusion and Transmutation magic, to represent what they consider the most reality-defining attributes of magic. The Black Robes seek to advance magic, whatever the cost, both for its own sake and to make themselves more powerful — as a result, their expertise lies in the most evil of D&D magical schools; Enchantment magic and Necromancy. Their robe colors also honor the patron God of Magic whose teachings they most align with; Solinari of the White Moon, Lunitari of the Red Moon, and Nuitari of the Black Moon.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Dragonlance / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Dragonlance is based off of Dungeons & Dragons, in which there are spells that can cure any illness or even resurrect the dead. Characters in novels almost never consider trying to resurrect a character who has died, although it can be justified, especially in times when Clerical magic is not around. Diseases often end up simply being incurable, even by a powerful Cleric. It is sometimes averted, such as when the Kingpriest of Istar resurrects a recently dead character, but it is generally played straight. Of course, most uses of this trope are for Rule of Drama. This is actually justified ingame as well, Dragonlance is a low magic setting so it might be possible that the only character high level enough to be capable of resurrecting a character was the Kingpriest (and indeed, in-universe the fact that the Kingpriest was capable of performing a resurrection was considered proof that he was The Chosen One). Dragonlance Adventures from AD&D openly states that resurrection magic is almost unknown except to the highest-level clerics. It's stated in the modules that Chemosh has repeatedly tried to remove knowledge of resurrection from Krynn itself - so successfully that the only location of any "Anti-Death Magic" (as it's colloquially known) is in the tomes of Fistandantilus and the Platinum Disks of Mishakal. The only problem with using it is it holds the exact same penalties as a Wish spell — the caster ages five years and five days of becoming comatose, a loss of one constitution point to the recipient, a loss of a level and the inability to restore those abilities without the Restoration spell... which is only in Fistandantilus' books and Mishakal's disks. The spells are also moved from Level four (which is already a High-Level Campaign level) to Level six — the highest level of magic usable outside of The Night of The Eye. It's been stated that at that level you're already close to becoming a demigod under the Dragonlance rules: Raistlin, for example, was a 13th-level magic-user when he attempted to usurp Tahkisis. This changes somewhat in the 3rd Edition setting updates, as stats and levels for characters such as Raistlin, Fistandantilus, and others are updated to 20+ to more properly reflect their abilities and importance, as well as to make their exploits more feasible from a gameplay standpoint. In the annotated versions of the original trilogy, the authors sometimes remark on phrases they wrote where they could "hear the dice rattling in the background" when they read them. For example, when they talk about a group of people in an inn who are "dressed like rangers", clearly meant to invoke images of the character class, but to a non-gamer reader would interpret as all rangers having a uniform dress code. Averted when it comes to arcane magic-users, most notably Raistlin. D&D makes heavy used of the Vancian Magic system, and this carries over to the books, when he struggles to learn advanced spells, even when he has the proper spellbook in front of him, as well as having a limited amount of spells per day and needing to reread his own books in order to replenish his supply. One notable example of this trope is that in the books, memorizing a spell explicitly allows you to cast that spell only once before it vanishes from your memory and you have to re-read your spellbook to memorize. Even in the 1st edition rules, however, a character can memorize the same spell multiple times. It seems like the authors were trying to come up with a less wonky explanation for spell memorization. This has actually bit the tabletop game in the butt quite hard as the game evolved. The books were heavily influenced by the 1st Edition rules, and there are a number of times where the characters describe concepts tied to the game rules, like the above-mentioned Vancian system, or Wizards being limited to use only daggers as weapons. However, as the game went through subsequent editions, the campaign world either had to severely limit normal player options (many new Classes were disallowed or heavily nerfed) or the setting had to awkwardly retcon some of these elements into the story. For example, the setting goes out of its way to show that most magic by mortals is heavily regulated by the Towers of High Sorcery and only Wizards who pass the tests are allowed to cast anything but basic spells, later editions have almost every class possessing an option to gain magical abilities through one way or another.

Badass Normal: Arguably, anyone who cannot use magic but holds their own in combat against supernatural threats—which is to say, a lot of people. The list includes Caramon, Tanis, Laurana, Kitiara, Flint, Tasslehoff, Faros Es Kalin, Golgren, Gerard, and Rhys. Tol from the Ergoth Trilogy is perhaps the greatest example, he never used any sort of magical weapon, but was able to go against supernatural foes and win. Huma. A mere Knight of the Crown who defeated the Dragonqueen.

Shameless Fanservice Girl: When Gilthanas happens upon Silvara bathing, she doesn't hesitate to climb out of the water and reach for her knife, putting safety above modesty. Although after he pacifies her she does grow uncomfortable with his staring and does cover herself with a Modesty Cloth. This is Justified since she's actually a silver dragon and her elven body is her Voluntary Shapeshifting.

Curse That Cures
 Dragonlance / int_6808f23a
comment
The Test also doubles as a Curse That Cures, the curse being in this case death by failure. Often the Test will find a would-be wizard to be skilled but lacking in some way. The Test will let them live and the wizard will pass, but the Test will find a way (often traumatically) to remove whatever is keeping the applicant from being fully devoted to the study of magic. Justarius, the Master of the Conclave after the War of the Lance, was in his youth a very skilled athlete; his Test left his leg permanently crippled, so that he had to abandon that aspect of his life in favor of full magical study. Other examples include a charming dandy having his face deeply scarred, or a woman deeply desiring of starting a family being left barren. Anything the applicant might prioritize over the magic is fair game to be targeted.

Draconic Humanoid: The Draconians are a race of draconic humanoid that start off Always Chaotic Evil, and usually appear as some variety of mook (either regular or improved, depending on the story) for the dragonarmies. They have five subraces, Baaz, Kapak, Aurak, Bozak and Sivak. All the races have scales of different color. Other differences between them include whether they turn to stone, dissolve into acid or explode after death. In Dragons of Spring Dawning, Gilthanas and Silvara find out they are created by corrupting eggs of actual dragons with dark magic.

Fantasy Gun Control
 Dragonlance / int_6bcfbc7e
comment
Fantasy Gun Control: Theoretically, the tinker gnomes could easily invent working guns, but they don't, because, well, they're pretty much incompetent bunglers as a rule. And because they're the only ones who have really mastered technology, other races are put off of the idea of learning it. In a short story called "Boom", a gnome actually invents an atomic bomb. It is quite blatantly thus, too, being fuelled by the splitting of the fundamental particles of reality (which he calls "atomies") and with it being mentioned that an area in which it detonates will be rendered barren and lifeless for several human generations. His fellow gnomes thought that this idea sounded so dangerous that they confiscated and tried to bury all his research. Driven mad by this, he built an atomic handgrenade and tried to offer it to a Dragon Highlord. Between questioning just how they would be able to actually use the thing and quailing at the sheer destructive potential it held, the Highlord refused, ultimately hiding the bomb away in the impenetrable mountains and sending the creator into slavery.

Meaningful Name: Most dragons have a true name and a "human name". Their human names tend to be something revolving around their color; a red will be Ember, a black will be Oil, etc etc etc. Notably all of Silvara's names and aliases (D'argent / Silvara / Arlena Plata) are derived from silver. There is also "Caramon" which was derived from another language and is meant to sound similar to "Caring Man".

Magic A Is Magic A
 Dragonlance / int_6c3d1777
comment
Magic A Is Magic A: Played straight sometimes, but averted at other times. Dragonlance is based off of Dungeons & Dragons, so Vancian Magic is in effect for Wizards and Clerics, but not every author adheres to this, as many of them just have magic do whatever they need it to do in the story. Primal Sorcerers and Mystics magic is more freeform (or at least it is supposed to be) so they do not have any rules to follow, aside from that initially Primal Sorcerers could only manipulate non-living matter and Mystics could only manipulate living or once-living matter under the SAGA ruleset, but that bit of flavor seems to have been dropped. The Taladas Trilogy addresses how draconic magic works. A moonthief (a rogue who is able to draw magic from all 3 moons and is able to see where arcane power comes from) watches an elder silver dragon work a spell. She sees that dragon sorcery also draws from the moons, in addition to the ice of the cave, the earth beneath it, the life force of her group of adventurers, the life force of the dragon's ogre followers and the strength of the dragon itself.

Godzilla Threshold: In the short story ''There is Another Shore You Know, Upon the Other Side," an alternate version of Krynn where Istar never fell is ruled by the Godking, the Kingpriest having ascended and stolen the power of all the gods. The protagonists from the normal version of Krynn, witnessing how he has committed genocide against dragons, Irda, and kender (with many others in-progess), subjected the depowered gods to a Fate Worse than Death, enslaved and conquered every nation/continent and has sealed off all of the exits to Krynn's crystal sphere, decide they have only one option that might improve things: Summon Chaos by breaking the Graygem. The Cataclysm was also this, as the gods tried many other options (including the 13 Warnings and sending Lord Soth and other heroes), and they all failed, so chucking the flaming mountain at the Kingpriest's face was the only way to stop the above from happening.

Unwitting Pawn: Crysania fits this perfectly. Tasslehoff also sort of fits this trope at times. When he isn't being a Spanner in the Works, that is. The Kingpriest himself to Fistandantilus. The latter didn't get exactly what he wanted out of that scheme, but the Kingpriest was his pawn all along nonetheless. The Gods of Magic become Takhisis's Unwitting Pawns in Dragons of the Hourglass Mage.

Because You Were Nice to Me: When Raistlin is nice to a gully dwarf, she becomes quite loyal to him. (He did cast a Charm spell on her, but that's supposed to wear off ... eventually. Based on Intelligence, so in her case, it lasted a long time.) It's reciprocated, however, and Raistlin drops everything to try to protect her, even when his friends abandon the gully dwarves. It also leads to his Heel Realization in a sequel series, as his lust for power led to her death. He willingly condemns himself to an eternity of torment to avoid this.

Collector of Forms
 Dragonlance / int_75470730
comment
Collector of Forms: Sivak Draconians have the power to shapeshift into anyone they've killed, allowing them to sow confusion amongst enemy ranks. They can only hold the form for a short while, but the timer resets if they kill again. Similarly, when they themselves are killed, they shift into the form of the person who killed them before dissolving into a pool of acid.

Bond Villain Stupidity: Verminaard, the Big Bad in Dragons of Autumn Twilight, manipulated Flamestrike, a Giant Red Dragon mother grieving for the loss of her children during the War Against The Gods, into guarding his prisoners' children because in her senility and grief she came to regard and love the human children as if they were her own, and would willingly watch over them at all times. When he had the Heroes of The Lance, the escaping prisoners and their children cornered and dead to rights, Verminaard somehow believed it was a bright idea to shout on the top of his lungs "I will destroy the children!" within earshot of said Red Dragon who has come to love said children. Cue Flamestrike bursting out of her lair in motherly-rage to protect her beloved "children", turning the tide of the battle in the Heroes of the Lance's favor.

Brother–Sister Incest
 Dragonlance / int_771f6307
comment
Brother–Sister Incest: Apparently not a big deal among Dragons. In at least one point in history, it was necessary to keep all five varieties going, since only one male and female of each metallic color survived the destruction of the the Grotto during the Second Dragon War. Dragons: The Lost Histories, however, seems to show that it's considered acceptable even if there's a wider gene pool available. Gwyneth/Heart had a brother named Lectral who had shown interest in her as a mate. She rejects him, but her rejection comes from the fact that she's in love with Huma and the fact that Lectral doesn't share her compassion for the mortal races. There's nothing to suggest that mating with a "nestmate" (as they refer to each other) is seen as incestuous or abnormal.

Actually, I Am Him: Deliberately invoked in the The War of Souls trilogy. Morham Targonne, the Lord of the Night, is a mild, unassuming middle-aged man despite being the head of an order of Black Knights feared across the continent; when giving an audience to people he hasn't met before, he'll typically invite them into his office and keep working quietly at his desk without acknowledging them, leaving the visitor to assume that this man is the Lord of the Night's secretary. He'll watch their reactions for a while, magically read their mind a bit to steal secrets, and once he's satisfied himself only then announce to said visitor that they are, in fact, in the presence of the Lord of the Night. Cue Oh, Crap!.

comment
Unequal Rites: This can happen between Wizards and Sorcerers, and Clerics and Mystics. This can also occur between Wizards and Clerics, with some Clerics calling what they can do not magic but "Faith". Some Wizards dislike Clerics because it was a powerful Cleric, the last Kingpriest of Istar, who tried to annihilate all Wizards, be they good, neutral, or evil. There is also some of this from Black Robe Necromancers, and Clerics of Chemosh, with the Clerics of Chemosh believing they are the only ones worthy of controlling undead creatures. Mystics who can also create undead creatures may find themselves trying to be converted by Clerics of Chemosh.

Obviously Evil: in the Animated Adaptation, anything even remotely Draconic (Takhisis, Dragons, Draconians, anything reptilian really) was rendered in CG.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
 Dragonlance / int_7c862b8a
comment
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Raistlin is the king of this trope. He betrays his brother, as well as Tanis, Goldmoon, and Riverwind when he saves himself with the dragon orb when they are trapped in the Maelstrom. He betrays the conclave of wizards by switching from Red robes to Black without consulting them. He betrays Ariakas by aiding Tanis in assassinating him. He betrays Takhisis by allowing Berem to seal her away in the abyss by impaling himself on the stone column. He betrays Fistandantilus when he was under his apprenticeship in Istar by turning the tables on him, and using the bloodstone to consume his soul. He betrays Tasslehoff by making him break the magical time traveling device as the fiery mountain is about to fall on Istar, sending him to the Abyss. He betrays Caramon again by promising the Dewar his head in exchange for their help in taking over Pax Tharkas. He betrays Crysania when she has outlived her usefulness to him. He betrays himself when, on the cusp of victory, he is dissuaded by a vision of a dying Bupu, which was symbolic of the last dying shreds of his humanity and empathy. When the vision dissolves, revealing Crysania, he has Caramon take her back through the Portal and stays behind to thwart the Queen. Fortunately, dying cures him of his disorder. He spends the remainder of his appearances (and there are a lot of them) acting for the greater good. Or some odd definition of it. Apparently he's just waiting for Caramon to die so they can go to the next life together, but he shows up an awful lot. "I didn't do it for you mages, I didn't do it for this conclave - I had one debt left and it is paid".: The debt is to magic itself. If Raistlin is the king of this trope his half-sister Kitiara would have to be its queen. In order, she betrayed her mother when she succumbed to magic-induced insanity, Tanis when she used him like a dirty half-elven whore and threw him aside like a dirty dishrag, Sturm Brightblade when she seduced him into breaking his vows of chastity and walked away laughing, her friends when she failed to show up at the Solace Inn after their five year pact, Laurana when she lured her to a false parley and had her kidnapped, Raistlin and Iolanthe when she tried to have them assassinated, Tanis again when she tried to grant Laurana's soul to Lord Soth, Dragon Highlord Ariakas when he was assassinated by Tanis and she made her play for ultimate control of the Dragonarmies, Lord Soth when she allowed Tanis and Laurana to escape, Raistlin again when she had Lord Soth attack Lady Crysania, Dalamar when she literally backstabbed him during his vigil to keep the Portal closed, and finally either Raistlin yet again or the Dark Queen when she invaded Palanthas, depending on who was winning; if Raistlin was winning when he came back through the Portal, she would offer him her army in exchange for power when he became a god, but if he was on the ropes, she had an army ready and waiting to bring down the most powerful archmage of all time in service to her Queen. Quite honestly, when it comes to Kitiara, there are two kinds of people: those who have made it their life's work to slice her open like a halibut, and those she hasn't slept with yet.

Some Call Me "Tim"
 Dragonlance / int_7ee93bc9
comment
Some Call Me "Tim": Pretty much the entire race of Gnomes have names that fill several volumes in the great library of Mount Nevermind, which include their full family tree and any notable accomplishments from their lives. When talking amongst each other, they use a shortened version which "only" takes about a minute to say. The other races have a tendency to only use the first 2-3 syllables of a gnome's name, a practice they find demeaning. Even the name of the Tinker Gnomes' mountain falls under this trope — it's only called Mount Nevermind because the first human explorers made the serious mistake of asking their gnome guide where he was from. After the first six or seven seconds of rapid pronunciation, they interrupted with 'Nevermind', which the gnomes then adopted as the official name of the mountain for reasons of aesthetics.

Establishing Character Moment: Raistlin's intro in Dragons of Autumn Twilight is a great example. He is sitting in a dark corner of the Inn with his hood over his head. When he greets his friends, his appearance is startling to them due to his gold skin and hourglass eyes. It's worth noting that Stephen King and R.A. Salvatore have claimed that the character introductions of Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the greatest opening to any novel made after either H. P. Lovecraft or J. R. R. Tolkien in SF/Fantasy.

Evil Matriarch - The Dark Queen Takhisis, a tyrannical evil Goddess, (usually) the Big Bad, and appearing in a variety of forms: including an ominous, armoured Dark Lord, a voluptuous raven-haired seductress, and an apocalyptically-huge five-headed dragon with one head representing each of the evil dragon races. She also rules the Abyss, is the mother of all the evil dragons, the instigator of the War Of The Lance and the two great dragon wars preceding it, the creator of the Draconians, Ogres, and other evil races, and The Chessmaster behind Mina's rise to power.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The Saga is called 'Dragonlance'. Every so often there is this weapon mentioned in the series called a 'Dragonlance'.

For a bonus, guess the race of Tanis Half-Elven.

The Kingpriest also does this in an alternate universe short story entitled "There Is Another Shore, You Know...Upon The Other Side" in which he absorbs the power of all of the deities of Krynn. The deities now reside on the mortal plane, stripped of their power, but unable to die. They are tortured by the Godking's followers: Zeboim, the Goddess of the Sea, for instance, is tied to the back of a boat and dragged along the water almost drowning all the time, but unable to die. And the three moons have been replaced with a single, all-seeing eye.

Portal Network
 Dragonlance / int_8618825d
comment
Trying to piece together exactly what happened in the Third Dragon War can be...challenging. Dragons: The Lost Histories states that the war began when Deathfyre, the sole surviving dragon of the Second Dragon War, dug up his dead comrades' eggs and spread them around the world while posing as a dwarven jewel merchant. In the Legends trilogy, Raistlin states that it started due to the fact that the Towers of High Sorcery used a Portal Network which Takhisis used to trick a Black Robe into setting her free. The events of The Legend of Huma could be taken either way, though they do seem to vaguely reference the latter. The Dragons of a New Age Trilogy offers a third version, claiming that Takhisis sent the Bakali (lizardmen) to hide the chromatic dragons' eggs beneath a mountain range and they grew to maturity in secret underground.

comment
Villain Protagonist: Kitiara in the 'B' storylines of both Brothers in Arms and Dragons of the Highlord Skies. Dalamar is also the "hero" of his own subplots. The audience roots for him on a combination of his being something of a Magnificent Bastard (though he's got nothing on his shalafi) and because Dalamar as the most powerful Black Robe in the world is sufficiently better than the alternative. The Villians Series starred many antagonists in their own novels. Before the Mask is the Start of Darkness for a young Verminaard showing how the boy who grew into a Dragon Highlord. The Black Wing shows the life of the black dragon Khisanth (a minor villain from Dragons of Autumn Twilight), from waking after the Cataclysm to how she joined the dragonarmies. Emperor of Ansalon shows Duulket Ariakas rise to power. Hederick the Theocrat shows Hederick's life in Solace. Lord Toede has Toede being brought Back from the Dead to star in his own novel. The Dark Queen stars Takhisis, Queen of Darkness herself as she spends her time plotting to escape from the Abyss.

Air Jousting
 Dragonlance / int_8d219876
comment
Air Jousting: Sort of the whole idea behind the Dragonlance to begin with, with the titular dragonlances being used by Dragon Riders in the air. In-game, dragonlances allowed the user to add their entire hitpoint total to the damage inflicted if they hit a dragon. Used mounted, you added your own hitpoints and the mounts. If you're a reasonable level, on the back of any reasonably powerful good dragon, you could one-shot any evil dragon with a single blow. (First Edition AD&D dragons were woefully underpowered and had lousy hitpoints, even the biggest, baddest evil dragon topped out at 88HP, which a 6th level fighter could reach with good rolls and a high con bonus).

Cthulhumanoid: The Yaggol are Dragonlance's version of Mind Flayers. They live in the Jungles of Taladas and use Mysticism instead of Psionics. The real thing does show up in the short story "Through the Door at the Top of the Sky" A gnome builds a prototype technojammer (a jammer powered by technology rather than magic) and encounters a Mindflayer nautilus ship that follows him back to Krynn. They're never referred to as such, though.

Dangerous Forbidden Technique: How Wizards view Primal/Wild Sorcery, this is due to the fact that three Sorcerers ended up accidentally creating magical storms that wracked all of Ansalon at the end of the Second Dragon War when they were fighting dragons. Interestingly, these three Sorcerers became the first Wizards after the Gods of Magic taught them High Sorcery so that they would not end up losing control of Primal/Wild Sorcery again.

Sdrawkcab Alias: in the original game modules, the Big Bad of the first four adventures, Dragon Highlord Verminaard, apparently dies by falling into an extremely deep hole; much later in the campaign, the heroes encounter a treacherous mercenary and information broker who goes by the name of Sevil Draanim Rev. Since they never saw Verminard's face, and Sevil speaks in a rasping whisper, they're unlikely to recognize "Sevil" until they find out his full name.

Apocalypse How
 Dragonlance / int_91e894b4
comment
Apocalypse How: There's the main Cataclysm, in which a "mountain of fire" (explained in the Kingpriest Trilogy as the hammer of the god Reorx) annihilated the Kingdom of Istar and killed millions outside of it with fire, earthquakes, etc. On the same day, Taladas, the continent to the northeast of Ansalon, suffered the "Great Destruction," in which an earthquake wiped out the mighty Aurim empire and filled the interior of the continent with molten lava and poison gas. In Adlatum, the third continent the Cataclysm came in the form of the Great Drowning in which massive tidal waves flooded large parts of the land and never receded.

Hobbits
 Dragonlance / int_91ed563c
comment
Hobbits: The Kender are basically your traditional D&D halflings, but defined by Curious as a Monkey tendencies combined with a pathological inability to feel fear and a naïve and innocently poor grasp of the concept of personal property - a stereotypical Kender will rifle through your bags and pick your pockets to stave off boredom and then be genuinely hurt and offended when you accuse them of being thieves. Canonically they are treated as a Chaotic Good race and their manic kleptomania is treated as almost childlike curiosity from a position of not knowing any better, which is why killing them is treated with the same moral gravity as child murder. Saying "I'm going to roll a Kender!" is an insta-ban offence in many tabletop groups. After the world was nearly destroyed by the Chaos War, some Kender became "Afflicted"; effectively suffering from race-wide psychological trauma, they lost their immunity to fear and kleptomania and became sullen and paranoid to a degree that seemed disturbing for other races.

Precursors
 Dragonlance / int_92286f7f
comment
Precursors: The Ogres, then called the Irda, ruled a civilization that was primarily in the mountains of Krynn that fell millennia before the Cataclysm. The gods of evil blessed them with a 2500 year life span, incredible knowledge of magic (although it was only allowed to be practiced by the nobility) and huge stature. The empire was destroyed by a revolt of their human slaves (assisted by the benevolent Irda who traveled to a remote island and were spared) combined with the Gods of Light cursing them to make their physical forms mark their true dark nature. The Taladas Trilogy shows that there were once humanoid wolves living in Panak, Taladas' ice region, until they were wiped out by dragons. They live on in the form of spirit wolves that can aid the native shamans. When they learn that the adventurers' party is trying to locate an elder dragon called the Wyrm-Namer, they agree to give them the secret location of the beast...with the condition that they kill it to get revenge for what happened to their species.

Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Happens several times in Legends. The obvious one is when Caramon sees the future when Raistlin ascends to godhood and goes back to the present to stop him. Tas attempting to stop the cataclysm, but instead breaks the time-traveling device because Raistlin wanted him to die. Raistlin killing Gnimsh in the Thorbardin dungeons in order to prevent him from activating the time-traveling device which interrupted Fistandantilus' spell in the past, resulting in his death.

Disciplines of Magic
 Dragonlance / int_98ca838
comment
Disciplines of Magic: Being based off of Dungeons & Dragons, the setting has the traditional arcane schools of White, Black, and Red magic, and said wizards become known respectively as White Robes, Black Robes, and Red Robes, each influenced by a different moon of Krynn's. There is also clerical (divine) magic derived from whatever god you're currently backing. There were other minor forms of magic, but the two that rose to prominence after the War of Souls were Wyld Magic (magic that was powerful but unpredictable) and Death Magic (magic gained with the help of dead souls gathering it up for the caster). The different Robes have been known to seek out and destroy wizards who are not one of the Robes.

Evil Will Fail: One of the main themes of the setting is that evil often fails because of its own inherent flaws. Takhisis does end up learning from her mistakes, however; after the War Of The Lance she looks for servants who are Lawful Evil and are thus not prone to the Chronic Backstabbing Disorder that derailed her plans the first time. It works out better and actually results in her taking over the entirety of Krynn. Fortunately for all of the mortals living there, she eventually gets her comeuppance.

Disappointing Promotion: Sturm Brightblade has been masquerading as a Knight of the Rose (the highest level of a Knights of Solamnia) since his first appearance, wearing his father's armour to sell the illusion. note  Part of the reason he did so was because the order itself had taken to hiding out in their various castles rather than going out and doing good, and he didn't want the order's Heroic Legacy to die out He's finally knighted for real by a member of the order shortly before a major battle against the forces of Takhsis, but it's an extremely unpopular decision amongst the other members and is done with the bare minimum of ceremony. note  When he dies gallantly in battle, his friend Laurana harangues the remaining knights because while they clung to the ceremony of being knights, Sturm actually went out and acted like one.

He then traveled into the past to usurp all of Fistandantilus' powers by going back to a time when the man was still mortal and posing as one of Fistandantilus' own apprentices. When Fistandantilus tried to suck out Raistlin's lifeforce and take over the young man's body to extend his own life (as he used to do with his apprentices), Raistlin killed Fistandantilus instead and took his place in history.

Dumb Muscle: Caramon in Chronicles. Less so in Legends. An interesting example in that throughout the Legends trilogy, he is shown thinking things through quite thoroughly and logically, showing that he's a perfectly intelligent person but only appears dumb next to his genius brother. Since they are usually joined at the hip, Caramon ends up taking a mental back seat to Raistlin, and since he never has to speak up whenever there's a dilemma at hand, this led to most of the party, especially Raistlin himself, having a low opinion of his intellect. Eventually, Caramon came to believe it, too. A large amount of his Character Development deals with him realizing that he can think for himself without using his brother as a crutch.

Balance Between Good and Evil
 Dragonlance / int_a284511d
comment
Balance Between Good and Evil: One of the core concepts of the setting. Palin Majere even lets followers of evil deities set up temples in Solace as long as they do not commit any evil acts. The background material (especially the Kingpriest of Istar) seems to show that good inevitably becomes Lawful Stupid if it's not balanced by evil. After Huma wielding the eponymous weapon defeated and banished the evil goddess Takhisis, things improved quickly, but with no real bad guys to fight, the Church of Paladine began persecuting anyone who wasn't good enough. Then, their Pope-analog decided that to purge evil from the world completely, he needed to become a god. The gods' answer to this was to throw a mountain down on Ishtar, causing the Cataclysm, sending Ishtar to the bottom of the sea and reshaping much of the world. The gods then disappeared from the world. In short, if there's no Evil, some of the Good becomes Evil to compensate. If there's too much Evil, then the Evil turns on itself and kills itself off. It's a kind of self-maintaining balance. There are also forces of Neutral that work to maintain that balance, most visibly the neutral gods of the pantheon and the red-robed wizards of the towers of high sorcery.

Half-Human Hybrid
 Dragonlance / int_a2cbad1
comment
The "Preludes" novel Kendermore, set before the Companions meet up again at the start of the first book, has a Half-Orc, despite Orcs not existing on Krynn. Also, a rather lusty she-dwarf temporarily falls in love with said half-orc, at least until she realises that he's a cold, cruel, ruthless assassin... and ends up killing her. However, later in the book they meet up with an unusually friendly ogre who's the one to identify the assassin as a half-orc (it wasn't something he admitted himself) claiming "I know my own species". Possibly Mary Kirchoff, the author of Kendermore, assumed "orc" could be used interchangeably with "ogre" on Krynn, considering that Krynn ogres are considerably different from the fantasy standard.

Canon Discontinuity
 Dragonlance / int_a32334b4
comment
Canon Discontinuity: The Appendix that was in the hardcover version of Dragons of a Vanished Moon is now considered non-canon. A lot of things are brought out in one novel, only to then be officially banned from continuity in another. Two of the most famous examples; the short story implying that Raistlin was courted by, and fathered a daughter upon, a female Irda (a member of the Ogre race before their fall to Takhisis), and Lord Soth being a Darklord in Ravenloft.

Sexy Discretion Shot: Gilthanas and Silvara are heavily implied to consummate their feelings shortly after they confess to each other during their encounter at the stream. In The Black Wing novel, the Villain Protagonist dragon (shapeshifted into a human in disguise) decides to sleep with one of her companions just out of curiosity of how sex feels like, with the scene ending with her pulling her lover to her and the next chapter starting in a Post-Coital Collapse.

Cloning Splits Attributes
 Dragonlance / int_a393e645
comment
Cloning Splits Attributes: Draconian Measures of the Kang's Regiment subseries introduces the Heart of Dracart which is capable of turning one Draconian into about thirty. The problem is that this is achieved by splitting the Draconian's soul, which causes the individual clones to have a marked loss of such things as willpower, aggressiveness, intellect, magical power, and skill. They also lose their after death attack, as there's not enough magic present to activate the spell. Kang himself observes the resultant clones also look like low res versions of the original, a fact that prevents him from realizing one of his own Draconians was subjected to the process as well. Additionally the cloned Draconians have a marked decrease in vitality, only able to survive for about a thousand days before simply turning to dust. Sadly, this was being used by a mad (and narcissistic) Draconian general in an attempt to stave off his One-Gender Race's eventual extinction, a plan he wanted to move forward with despite Kang finding the other gender.

Obfuscating Stupidity: Kender come off as cluelessly chipper and annoying, but often have a far greater grasp of the situation than they let on; similarly, Gully Dwarves are a lot more cunning than their can't-count-beyond-two stupidity indicates. But the out and out master of this trope is Fizban/Paladine. As Speaker of the Suns Gilthas fell under this, though in his case it was more Obfuscating Weakness.

And I Must Scream
 Dragonlance / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: A small case of this at the end of Amber and Ashes, when Mina is locked away in a magical room, where not even the Gods themselves could hear the screams of the person trapped inside. She escapes, though... In the short story Into Shadow, Into Light Rennard suffers eternal torments in the Abyss after his death- constantly hunted and slain by the people he murdered only to rise again, his body ravaged by the fever and denied even a sip of water he so desperately craves. The end of the story does give him hope he might finally earn release, though. At the climax of the Taladas Trilogy, Big Bad Maladar is punished for failing his god by having his soul tossed into a lake of lava, where it will be burned for eternity with no release- unless said god has need of him again. The Goblins in the Stonetellers Trilogy believe that if a body is left whole then the spirit of the deceased will return to its old body and be trapped in it. This is why the Goblins burn the body, or even just cut off a limb. The Goblins believe in a form of reincarnation, and that the body must not be whole so that the spirit can find a new body(which will also be a Goblin, as they believe that members of each race will always be a member of that race no matter how many times they reincarnate) to inhabit. At the end of the Ogre Titans Trilogy Golgren casts Xiryn into the depths of the Fire Rose he coveted so desperately, doomed to burn for all eternity and never to die. And, of course, Raistlin's ultimate fate in the timeline where he succeeds in becoming a god: eternity floating alone in the void above a dead world. Lorac Caralon is also this after his mind is enslaved by a dragon orb, and his nightmares are turned into reality in Silvanesti. Later averted when the Heroes of the Lance free him and Silvanesti from the dragon orb's nightmare.

You All Meet in an Inn: Fitting the novels' tabletop RPG origins, much of the course of the War of the Lance is touched off by the gathering of the Heroes of the Lance at the Inn of the Last Home. In this case it's justified by the fact that for most of the heroes, it's a reunion at a familiar gathering place rather than their first meeting, and most of the rest of it is arranged by the personal intervention of Paladine himself.

In the short story ''There is Another Shore You Know, Upon the Other Side," an alternate version of Krynn where Istar never fell is ruled by the Godking, the Kingpriest having ascended and stolen the power of all the gods. The protagonists from the normal version of Krynn, witnessing how he has committed genocide against dragons, Irda, and kender (with many others in-progess), subjected the depowered gods to a Fate Worse than Death, enslaved and conquered every nation/continent and has sealed off all of the exits to Krynn's crystal sphere, decide they have only one option that might improve things: Summon Chaos by breaking the Graygem.

The trilogy pretty much reverses nearly all the changes done in Dragons Of Summer Flame.

 Dragonlance / int_babc974

Sadistic Choice: The Kingpriest had left the gods with two choices: allow him to ascend to godhood and wipe out anything he deemed evil (as well as usurping their power for his own), which would include outright genocide of any race the Gods of Good didn't directly create, or cause the Cataclysm. This was as much a result of how close the Kingpriest was to succeeding as the fact all other attempts to stop him, either by warning or by champions such as Lord Soth, had failed. They chose the Cataclysm, as it ultimately would do less damage than the Kingpriest would have.

Plucky Comic Relief: Tasselhoff Burrfoot, playing off grumpy Flint Fireforge most of the time. Also, any and all Kender, Tinker Gnomes, and Gully Dwarves. Occasionally, these get somewhat cruelly played for tragedy). One of the worst examples of that was "The Wish", a short story in The Reign of Ishtar collection which followed a motley group of nonhumans including a kender. The others, as well as the audience, assume that the kender's ditziness is just being a typical dumb kender, but in the scene when he is describing witnessing the murder of his parents, you realize that he is in fact five years old.

Big Boo's Haunt: Dargaard Keep, being the home of Lord Soth, is one of the setting's most prominent examples. There's actually not that many undead present; Soth himself, his thirteen Skeleton Warriors, and the three Banshees. Of course, as all seventeen are high-level undead in a generally low-level world, that more than makes up for any lack in individual numbers.

Hard Work Hardly Works: Coryn Brinewater from the novel Wizards's Conclave very quickly masters High Sorcery to the point that she is only just below Dalamar(who is currently the most powerful Black Robed Wizard, and had to study for decades to get to where he was) in terms of power. She caused a lot of divisiveness amongst the fandom as it had previously been established that High Sorcery took years and even decades to even begin to get skilled at it, and Coryn masters it in about six months. She WAS a user of Primal Sorcery before she became a Wizard, but she was only a little skilled at it. In fact, when it came time to convene the Conclave and elect new leadership, Coryn was made Master of the White Robes. She protested at this, claiming that she had a legitimate claim at being Master of the Conclave after coming out of her Test strengthened, rather than handicapped. The remainder of the Conclave disagreed, as her previous use of Primal Sorcery had left her tainted in their eyes, and despite her promises, they could never be sure she wouldn't fall back on using it in the future. Being made the Head of her order was the best they could do, and they flat out told her that she had no chance whatsoever of being made Head of the Conclave and that she should be happy with the position she has.

Word of God from the Annotated Edition of the original trilogy was that Flint's death by heart attack was a specific aversion of this trope.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: When Raistlin kills all of the gods in the alternate future. The Kingpriest also does this in an alternate universe short story entitled "There Is Another Shore, You Know...Upon The Other Side" in which he absorbs the power of all of the deities of Krynn. The deities now reside on the mortal plane, stripped of their power, but unable to die. They are tortured by the Godking's followers: Zeboim, the Goddess of the Sea, for instance, is tied to the back of a boat and dragged along the water almost drowning all the time, but unable to die. And the three moons have been replaced with a single, all-seeing eye. Huma Dragonslayer assaults Tahkisis with nothing more than a broken Dragonlance... and wins without aid from an immortal. Raistlin is the only other mortal to even attempt this. This leads to him being resurrected as a Steel Dragon (Paladine's personal entourage in the afterlife) in the RPGA 3.5 Edition Dragonlance setting of Dungeons & Dragons.

What the Hell, Hero?: Jaymes Markham gets this after he uses a Love Potion on someone. He uses the potion to seduce a woman who was in an important position, which would help him accomplish his goals. But, this is basically raping her, as she had no control over herself when she was under the effect of the potion. She calls him on it when the potion wears off. This is also heavily debated in the fanbase, between 'she wanted to at the time, even if she was on drugs' and 'Jaymes should be castrated'. In the end, when the potion wears off, they remain married, but live apart. Jaymes shacks up with the witch who really loved him and gave him the love potion, and his wife lives with her priestess friend in the Temple of Kiri-Jolith. So really, it seems like in the end, they all had no problem with it, since it saved Solammnia or something.

The Knights of Neraka as a whole might be like this. They serve evil and have negative views of the world, but are actually fair and decent rulers. Basically, Lawful Evil with a heavy dose of Lawful. The 3rd edition rule book actually points this out.

Last Request
 Dragonlance / int_d6618014
comment
On the other hand (or not) Caramon and Tika pass away peacefully of old age. And right before Caramon goes, he realizes that something is terribly wrong and makes a Last Request to Gerard that sets him and others on the path to making it right. Raistlin decides not to usurp Takhisis' godhood after seeing the terrible future that would come to pass if he did, and ends up in a magical sleep for most of the rest of his life (waking up and visiting Krynn a few times to make things more interesting). Tasslehoff gets stepped on by Chaos, but manages to cut his foot a split second before that, which allows the heroes to get the drop of Chaos' blood required to defeat him. Riverwind is mortally wounded while fighting in Kendermore, but his actions buy enough time for a lot of kender to escape the dragon Malystryx.

Addictive Magic
 Dragonlance / int_d69dea33
comment
Addictive Magic: High Sorcery is said to be addictive for some of its users. Wizards casting spells are described as feeling as though the magic is coursing through their body like quicksilver, complete with a feeling of empty lethargy when the spell is over. There is even mention of hedonist mages who do nothing but cast Useless Useful Spells over and over just for the sensation it brings.

Race Lift: This happens with cover art sometimes, in the novel The Sellsword the protagonist is described as being black, but on the cover he kind of looks like Jason Statham. The Kagonesti elves also have this happen to them in book cover art, and sometimes in sourcebook interior art. They are supposed to be brown-skinned, but get depicted as being as pale white as their Silavnesti and Qualinesti cousins.

Holding Out for a Hero: Silvara is actually a silver dragon living in secret amongst the elves, trying to assist mortals in secret to maintain the Metallic dragons Oath of Neutrality. She's constantly on the watch for those with the courage to stand up to the dragonarmies so she may assist them by imparting them with the secret of forging the dragonlances. She promptly inserts herself into Laurana's party when she finds out they have been fighting in the war and have both a broken dragonlance and a dragon orb.

Our Dragons Are Different: Unlike dragons in most D&D settings, Dragons on Krynn CAN begin to suffer dementia as they get older... though in this case 'older' can be very very very old indeed. The legend of Huma has a passing reference to an elderly but still sharp-minded dragon... who is known to be senile by the time of the main story... which was long enough for civilizations to rise and fall.

The Magic Goes Away: The Cataclysm resulted in divine magic going away until the War of the Lance.

However, they and other writers decided to keep the story going, magic and all, though the magic isn't quite the same afterward.

Continuity Drift
 Dragonlance / int_de86b894
comment
Continuity Drift: The Gods of Magic were originally just meant to be power batteries and in Dragons of Autmun Twilight even Raistlin was not aware of the existence of Nuitari. The Gods of Magic later gained personalities and are now full deities. The Lost Chronicles contradicts some stuff established in the original Chronicles in the process of fleshing out plot-lines only briefly touched on in the original books, thanks being written decades latter. A glaring case is the prologue to Dragons of Winter Night where Strum's clash with Tanis over giving the Hammer of Kharas to Thorbardin makes little sense with what Dragons of the Dwarven Depths revealed, namely he'd been in on a scheme with Flint and Raistlin to switch out the Hammer of Kharas for a a fake and regretted his involvement with the scheme after it fell though. Dragons of the Highlord Skies account of Laurana and the Companions' journey to Ice-wall also overrides other material that had been written previously on the topic.

Continuity Snarl
 Dragonlance / int_df582b0b
comment
Continuity Snarl: Multiple things in the setting contradict each other. One of the more well known issues is whether or not Sturm and Kitiara visited Lunitari or not. Some fans say they did, others that they did not. The visit was a crossover with Spelljammer, a setting that WOTC has mostly ignored for years. Trying to piece together exactly what happened in the Third Dragon War can be...challenging. Dragons: The Lost Histories states that the war began when Deathfyre, the sole surviving dragon of the Second Dragon War, dug up his dead comrades' eggs and spread them around the world while posing as a dwarven jewel merchant. In the Legends trilogy, Raistlin states that it started due to the fact that the Towers of High Sorcery used a Portal Network which Takhisis used to trick a Black Robe into setting her free. The events of The Legend of Huma could be taken either way, though they do seem to vaguely reference the latter. The Dragons of a New Age Trilogy offers a third version, claiming that Takhisis sent the Bakali (lizardmen) to hide the chromatic dragons' eggs beneath a mountain range and they grew to maturity in secret underground. In the original version of the timeline, the Second and Third Dragon War were the same event. It can be a bit jarring to read The Elven Nations Trilogy, where they talk about Huma 1000 years before he was born and centuries before Solamnia would even exist! The relationship between White Magic and illusion spells. In Vinas Solamnus, Vinas' army nearly loses a major battle due the fact that the Ergothian rebels' White mages create a powerful Mirror spell that makes the loyalist expedition force massacre each other by making their own soldiers appear as the enemy. But in Dalamar the Dark, the Silvanesti mages, when told that they need to create illusions to make a plan work, protest due to fact that this will require learning Red magic, when Elves are supposed to only use White. Given the millenia between the books, however, it's possible that the White illusion spells were just lost at some point.

Turns Red
 Dragonlance / int_e3ab9e00
comment
Turns Red: All Draconians have a final effect that activates on their death, meant to disable or destroy the ones who killed them. The Aurak subspecies, born of magically potent Gold Dragons, takes this a step further. Upon suffering a mortal wound, the Aurak does not simply die, but instead continues his attack. Now, however, its innate magical power begins erupting from its body, manifesting as a magical fire that wreaths the draconian, spreading to anything struck (it also begins to burn any items on the Aurak as well, meaning loot must be stolen from what is essentially a flaming zombie before its destroyed). Eventually, the flames consume the entire body, even the bones, resulting in the monster collapsing into a ball of burning energy that begins blasting everything around it. While it can still be fought (and stolen from), this is unwise as, after a fairly short time period, the ball explodes in a manner similar to a Bozak, destroying anything within several square feet of it before finally dying. This has happened at least twice in the series, in "Lord Toede" and the sequel book to "Doom Brigade" where the draconians were finally given character stats. Interestingly, a third Aurak was featured in a short story who simply fell over dead when killed, though he was a malformed specimen so it is possible the spell simply didn't activate for him.

Not Quite Dead: In Dragons of the Hourglass Mage Raistlin assumes that his brother, along with Tanis, Tika, Goldmoon, and Riverwind died in the maelstrom after he abandoned them to save himself, but they were actually saved by sea elves. He later finds out they are alive and visits them as Flint dies, although he was invisible at the time, so they never knew he was there. This may also be the case with Fistandantilus, who apparently managed to revive himself in a short story, but nothing has been made of it since.

Crossover
 Dragonlance / int_eb7c34cf

Crossover: Dragonlance has had Crossovers with both Spelljammer and Ravenloft. The Tinker Gnomes have a strong presence in Wildspace, and Lord Soth has been to Ravenloft for a while. The setting has never really crossed over with Planescape, possibly because of Dragonlance's ties with the Spelljammer setting in 2E, and in 3.5, the Dragonlance setting has its own cosmology separate from the Great Wheel. Not official canon, but Dalamar made a series of cameo appearances in the "Wizards Three" Dragon Magazine articles by Ed Greenwood, meeting to trade magical secrets, gossip, and junk food with Mordenkainen and Elminster.

Lesser of Two Evils: The gods had two choices by the time the Cataclysm happened: allow the Kingpriest to win, become a God-Emperor, and rule the world as a genocidal despot who would wipe out countless races, or cause the Cataclysm and kill many people, but stop the Kingpriest's plan. They chose the Cataclysm.

Have You Seen My God?
 Dragonlance / int_eece5183
comment
Have You Seen My God?: Happens several times throughout the timeline. The first was after the Cataclysm; the gods weren't actually gone, but the mortals believed they were. Second, the companions notice during the War of the Lance that the constellations of Takhisis and Paladine are missing from the sky. Third, after the conclusion of the Chaos War, the gods are missing because Takhisis stole the world and shrouded it from the other gods, so that she would be the one and only god on Krynn.

Early-Bird Cameo: In Kaz the Minotaur, it's established that the glowing green orb that the rogue wizard Galen Dracos used to summon Takhisis to the mortal plane to battle Huma in The Legend of Huma had a mysterious power from beyond even the Abyss. What was this power called? Chaos. This took place five years in real-world time before Dragons of Summer Flame had Chaos waking up and attempting to destroy Krynn.

Redemption Equals Death: Lord Soth, following his refusal to aid Tahkisis anymore and her subsequent admonition that she would rend him complete from this world, he still refuses. The next time he's seen he's in the Court of Paladine wearing gray armor, instead of shining, in the RPGA guidebooks: his gift for the suffering he was put through is the ability to move anywhere on Krynn, but only as a mortal appearing as he once did before becoming a Death Knight.

One of the more well known issues is whether or not Sturm and Kitiara visited Lunitari or not. Some fans say they did, others that they did not. The visit was a crossover with Spelljammer, a setting that WOTC has mostly ignored for years.

Monogender Monsters: The Draconians are an example of the all-male variety. Played with later on, as it's revealed that their creators deliberately kept the Draconians all-male to stop the race from being able to sustain itself naturally. The Draconians took issue with this, and eventually found the creators' stash of female Draconian eggs, which they'd planned to hold as blackmail. Then the female Draconians grew up and proved to be every bit as badass as their male counterparts.

Sturm, however, remains ignorant of its significance.

 Dragonlance / int_fd76df83

Artistic License – Economics: Post-Cataclysm, steel becomes the most valuable metal instead of gold, so steel coins are used as the highest form of currency. However, steel armor and weapons were still widely used, and their value in steel coins was actually a lot less than the amount of steel used to make them: it was possible to make money by buying steel longswords, then melting them down and forging them into coins.

Depending on the Writer
 Dragonlance / int_fdc4fab4
comment
Depending on the Writer: This can cause very different portrayals of members of different races. Elves, for example can be portrayed as being vegetarian in one book, and having no problem with eating meat in another. The world can also either be depicted as being a gritty medieval one, to being about as gritty as a Renaissance Festival. Fistandantilus is portrayed by Weis and Hickman as sneering and humorless, but he's a snarky Magnificent Bastard in Chris Pierson's Kingpriest Trilogy. Probably justified in that the Fistandantilus Weis and Hickman usually show is the undead version who made a deal with Raistlin- his, er, situation at the time would have had him a little stressed. Likewise Weis and Hickman depict Toede as a bootlicking and pompous cowardly buffoon while Jeff Grubb wrote him as a cunning schemer and fast talker who also has a good line in snark (though he is still a coward). Another very noticeable one concerns gnomes and their building abilities. The gnomes in books by Weis and Hickman talk extremely fast, are completely incapable of building anything that functions even remotely correct (except in special cases, such as Gnimsh), and all have names beginning with "gn". On the other hand, gnomes in Paul B. Thompson and Tonya Cook's Darkness and Light talk normally, are excellent inventors and buildings who are experts in their field of practice, and have names describing what they do, such as "Cutwood" and "Roperig". The differences in gnomes might make one think that they're two completely different races.

Not that Kitiara has a problem with being called a lady; she's been known as both the "Dark Lady" and the "Blue Lady" and never seemed to mind. Silvara in her Arlena Plata persona looks like a stern, dignified Solamnic knight.
