Dragonlance

<h2 id="publication-history">Publication history</h2>
<h3>Creation</h3>

Hickman developed his world creation technique by writing and self-publishing with his wife Laura the <a href="/facts/List_of_Dungeons_%2526_Dragons_modules/ajbhddME">adventure modules</a> <a href="/facts/Rahasia/SlQsHvn9">Rahasia</a> (1979) and <a href="/facts/Desert_of_Desolation/mkVhaWxf">Pharaoh</a> (1980), and writing TSR's <a href="/facts/Ravenloft_(module)/MWkp2UXl">Ravenloft module</a> (1983). He was unemployed in 1982, and TSR offered him a job based on his submission of several modules.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2">2</a> That year, while driving from Utah to Wisconsin to start a job with TSR, Hickman and his wife created the Dragonlance universe concept. During the trip, Hickman and his wife discussed two ideas they had had for several years: an entire world used to support a storyline, and a world dominated by dragons.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a>
Their ideas were well received by TSR, whose marketing department felt they had enough dungeons, but not enough <a href="/facts/Dragon_(Dungeons_%2526_Dragons)/rJKu80wp">dragons</a>. Hickman suggested a series of twelve modules, each featuring a different dragon. TSR employee <a href="/facts/Harold_Johnson_(game_designer)/PI5l6e4h">Harold Johnson</a> suggested that Hickman should try to get additional support from other TSR staff members and, after a period of months, Hickman had the support of <a href="/facts/Jeff_Grubb/eKbL6vap">Jeff Grubb</a>, <a href="/facts/Larry_Elmore/vYqxLM9l">Larry Elmore</a>, <a href="/facts/Roger_E._Moore/x4CbY9Bh">Roger Moore</a>, <a href="/facts/Douglas_Niles/tX2CUHGH">Doug Niles</a>, <a href="/facts/Michael_Williams_(author)/Uaq6QP0G">Michael Williams</a>, and others with whom they discussed ideas for the project. Meanwhile, Weis was editing and writing various <a href="/facts/Endless_Quest/CoSbvEtB">Endless Quest</a> books for TSR. The Dragonlance group decided that novels should accompany the game modules; TSR reluctantly agreed and hired a writer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a> Hickman became the design coordinator for Project Overlord, the cover name for what would later be known as the Dragonlance saga.[4]
TSR decided to create a franchise, including modules, board games, lead figures, and - for the first time - novels. Weis had been hired as an editor; with Hickman, she began working with the author hired to write the novels. They weren't satisfied with the author, and decided they should be the ones to write the books.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> They collaborated over a weekend, writing the prologue for the first five chapters of the first novel,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> <a href="/facts/Dragons_of_Autumn_Twilight/1uARgoRh">Dragons of Autumn Twilight</a>, based on the module <a href="/facts/Dragons_of_Despair/vJIHlm7L">Dragons of Despair</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> TSR liked their treatment and gave them the assignment, firing the author. After two years of development, TSR released the module Dragons of Despair and the novel Dragons of Autumn Twilight in March and November 1984, respectively.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> TSR had doubts about the finished novel's sales potential, and attempted to order thirty thousand copies, ultimately ordering the minimum print run of fifty thousand. The success of the novel prompted TSR to publish more copies to meet demand.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> The novel was written after the completion of the first <a href="/facts/Dragonlance_modules_(DL_series)/ECnUMPKg">Dragonlance game modules</a>. Weis and Hickman felt this was constraining and made the novel feel too episodic, so they reversed the process for the next books and completed the novels before the related modules were written.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> Dragonlance received support products such as novels, calendars, computer games, and books of artwork.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a>

<h3>Further development</h3>

In the mid to late 1980s, a rift developed between TSR and the authors. Weis and Hickman were feeling under-appreciated and, when TSR turned down their <a href="/facts/Darksword/cwhzeJg3">Darksword</a> series of novels, they went to <a href="/facts/Bantam_Books/uFxsmguL">Bantam Books</a>. Bantam made them an offer, which they accepted, and they stopped writing Dragonlance novels for TSR.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> They returned to write <a href="/facts/Dragons_of_Summer_Flame/tM8tMuql">Dragons of Summer Flame</a> for TSR in 1995, thinking it would be their final Dragonlance novel. At the time, Dragonlance gaming had been converted to the <a href="/facts/SAGA_System/PsDMWh71">SAGA System</a>, with limited success, and that, combined with TSR's general financial troubles, put the setting's future in doubt. Wizards of the Coast bought the troubled TSR in 1997, and Weis and Hickman then proposed the <a href="/facts/List_of_Dragonlance_novels/XnWXfqNa">War of Souls</a> trilogy, which was published in 2000-2002. All three novels made the <a href="/facts/New_York_Times_bestseller_list/6UYSsPpG">New York Times bestseller list</a>, and the setting was commercially revitalized.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> By 1998, the original Dragonlance trilogy had sold well over three million copies worldwide and spawned dozens of sequels.[10] The central books of the Dragonlance series were written by the authoring team of Weis and Hickman, but many other writers have made contributions, including <a href="/facts/Richard_A._Knaak/dHcaXw5m">Richard A. Knaak</a>, <a href="/facts/Douglas_Niles/tX2CUHGH">Douglas Niles</a>, <a href="/facts/Roger_E._Moore/x4CbY9Bh">Roger E. Moore</a>, <a href="/facts/Don_Perrin/1eJkdkck">Don Perrin</a>, <a href="/facts/Jean_Rabe/JyKqASdq">Jean Rabe</a>, <a href="/facts/Paul_B._Thompson_(novelist)/N4jR3d0m">Paul B. Thompson</a>, Tonya C. Cook, <a href="/facts/Michael_Williams_(author)/Uaq6QP0G">Michael Williams</a>, <a href="/facts/Nancy_Varian_Berberick/j0soM0fM">Nancy Varian Berberick</a>, and <a href="/facts/Chris_Pierson/pPNLaX5q">Chris Pierson</a>.
In 2001, Wizards of the Coast licensed <a href="/facts/Sovereign_Press_(role-playing_game_publisher)/NzWnpdoU">Sovereign Press</a> to publish further Dragonlance game materials. This began with the newly revised <a href="/facts/Dragonlance_Campaign_Setting/1K022jdb">Dragonlance Campaign Setting</a> in 2003, which used the new <a href="/facts/Editions_of_Dungeons_%2526_Dragons/zBMbxaUC">Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition</a> rules.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> In April 2007, Wizards of the Coast had not renewed Sovereign's license, and Dragonlance RPG game supplements and accessories were only released through the end of the year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>
In October 2020, Weis and Hickman filed suit against Wizards of the Coast for breaching a licensing deal with Weis and Hickman for a new Dragonlance novel trilogy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> <a href="/facts/Boing_Boing/XvAWXtgT">Boing Boing</a> reported that "according to the lawsuit, Weis and Hickman agreed with Wizards of the Coast to produce the new novels in 2017, capping off the series and giving fans a final sendoff, but the company pulled the plug in August 2020".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> In December, Weis and Hickman filed to voluntarily <a href="/facts/Prejudice_(legal_term)/tMzY2hlT">dismiss without prejudice</a> their lawsuit,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a> and "the filing noted that Wizards of the Coast had not formally answered their lawsuit, nor had they filed for a summary judgement".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> Weis and Hickman's publishing agent affirmed a few weeks following this that a new trilogy of Dragonlance novels was in the works;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> the first of the new trilogy was released in August 2022.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a>
In December 2022, the first Dragonlance adventure module, titled Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, for <a href="/facts/Editions_of_Dungeons_%2526_Dragons/zBMbxaUC">5th Edition</a> was released. The module is set during the War of the Lance; Wizards of the Coast has stated that the module does not require prior knowledge of the setting or the novels to play the module.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> An integrated board game, titled Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn, was released in 2023, designed by Stephen Baker and <a href="/facts/Rob_Daviau/z9v8AydU">Rob Daviau</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a> Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn is a <a href="/facts/Wargame/KDl58Nkf">wargame</a> that focuses on military battles during the War of the Lance. Both games can be played independently, but the adventure module includes rules for using the board game to resolve the military battles that occur in the narrative.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a>

<h3>Campaign setting</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/List_of_Dragonlance_modules_and_sourcebooks/pH4XlQAu">List of Dragonlance modules and sourcebooks</a>

<a href="/facts/TSR%2c_Inc./fUfhyTN4">TSR</a> created Dragonlance as a campaign setting for the <a href="/facts/Dungeons_%2526_Dragons/1FQKcQSL">Advanced Dungeons & Dragons</a> (AD&D) <a href="/facts/Roleplaying_game/bN0QjhPs">roleplaying game</a> in 1982, publishing the first of a series of <a href="/facts/Adventure_(Dungeons_%2526_Dragons)/2sTDQR6d">modules</a>, <a href="/facts/Dragons_of_Despair/vJIHlm7L">Dragons of Despair</a>, in March 1984. They published the first world-spanning sourcebook, <a href="/facts/Dragonlance_Adventures/HzG79Gm0">Dragonlance Adventures</a>, in 1987. When AD&D was updated to the 2nd edition in 1989, the Dragonlance campaign setting was updated as well. However, in 1996, Dragonlance was converted to use the new <a href="/facts/SAGA_System/PsDMWh71">SAGA System</a>, which uses cards to determine the effects of actions, with the publication of the <a href="/facts/Dragonlance%3a_Fifth_Age/LwVFyo48">Dragonlance: Fifth Age</a> roleplaying game.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a> 
When the 3rd edition of Dungeons & Dragons was released in 2000, Dragonlance was not initially updated for the new edition. In 2002, Margaret Weis's company <a href="/facts/Sovereign_Press_(role-playing_game_publisher)/NzWnpdoU">Sovereign Press</a> acquired the license to publish 3rd Edition Dragonlance material. The official update, <a href="/facts/Dragonlance_Campaign_Setting/1K022jdb">Dragonlance Campaign Setting</a>, was published in 2003 for the 3.5 Edition. <a href="/facts/Wizards_of_the_Coast/QNYRhAT8">Wizards of the Coast</a> turned over all responsibility for maintaining the Dragonlance setting to Sovereign Press until 2007.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> The campaign setting was not supported during the <a href="/facts/4th_edition_D%2526D/zBMbxaUC">4th Edition</a> era (2008-2013) of Dungeons & Dragons.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a>
In March 2022, Wizards released the PDF Heroes of Krynn which is part of the "<a href="/facts/Unearthed_Arcana/fRxgbvfF">Unearthed Arcana</a>" public playtest series for the <a href="/facts/Editions_of_Dungeons_%2526_Dragons/zBMbxaUC">5th Edition</a> of Dungeons & Dragons.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> <a href="/facts/Polygon_(website)/shfk0yXN">Polygon</a> commented that this "all but confirmed" the return of the Dragonlance setting.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> The setting was revisited in December 2022 with a new adventure module for the 5th Edition.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a> On December 6, Wizards released the adventure book Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a>

<h3>Novels</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/List_of_Dragonlance_novels/XnWXfqNa">List of Dragonlance novels</a>
The main storyline of the original Dragonlance series has been written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, with multiple books written by other authors, covering years between and sometimes during the main events.

<ul><li>The <a href="/facts/Dragonlance_Chronicles/HnElsKRw">Chronicles</a> trilogy relates the events since the meeting of the Companions until the end of the <a href="/facts/War_of_the_Lance/HnElsKRw">War of the Lance</a> and the defeat of the Dragon armies of Ansalon.</li>
<li>The <a href="/facts/List_of_Dragonlance_novels/XnWXfqNa">Lost Chronicles</a> trilogy is a companion to the original Chronicles. Each book of the trilogy fills in sections of the story previously left untold. It tells the story surrounding the recovery of the Hammer of Kharas,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a> how the Companions retrieve the dragon orb from Ice Wall, how <a href="/facts/Kitiara_Uth_Matar/bMBXEsye">Kitiara Uth Matar</a> and <a href="/facts/Lord_Soth/JTPnY4eF">Lord Soth</a> became allies, and how <a href="/facts/Raistlin_Majere/GwgpQYvD">Raistlin Majere</a> took the <a href="/facts/Wizards_of_High_Sorcery/EbId51gN">Black Robes</a> in Neraka.</li>
<li>The <a href="/facts/Dragonlance_Legends/6y0abIYn">Legends</a> trilogy covers the <a href="/facts/Blue_Lady%2527s_War/6y0abIYn">Blue Lady's War</a>, as well as the past adventures of <a href="/facts/Raistlin_Majere/GwgpQYvD">Raistlin</a> and <a href="/facts/Caramon_Majere/fy8hL9kj">Caramon Majere</a>, culminating in Raistlin's attempt to achieve <a href="/facts/Godhood/qU7hCtL5">godhood</a>. The books feature time travel, and focus on events in Istar before the Cataclysm, as well as the ensuing Dwarfgate Wars.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/The_Second_Generation/D0et8zxy">The Second Generation</a> is a single compilation book which picks the most important tales from the Tales series and details the children of the Companions, all of whom become players in the later story. This book is considered to be part of the main storyline, as it must be read to understand the events that happened between the War of the Lance and the Chaos War. This novel develops characters that would later be seen in the <a href="/facts/War_of_Souls/rkwy8qIJ">War of Souls</a> trilogy.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/Dragons_of_Summer_Flame/tM8tMuql">Dragons of Summer Flame</a> covers the <a href="/facts/Chaos_War_(Dragonlance)/tM8tMuql">Chaos War</a>, also known as the Second Cataclysm. The gods and mortals join forces to defeat Chaos in his attempt to destroy Krynn. The war ends with the withdrawal of Chaos and the gods of Krynn in a divine agreement to keep the world safe.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/Dragons_in_the_Archives%3a_The_Best_of_Weis_and_Hickman_Anthology/CqSVqdSE">Dragons in the Archives: The Best of Weis and Hickman Anthology</a> is another compilation of short stories which were previously published in other anthologies. These stories take place at different points of time in the world of Krynn. This book provides backstory to some of the characters and situations presented in the <a href="/facts/War_of_Souls/rkwy8qIJ">War of Souls</a> trilogy.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/The_War_of_Souls/rkwy8qIJ">The War of Souls</a> trilogy begins as a strange storm courses through Krynn, heralding the <a href="/facts/War_of_Souls/rkwy8qIJ">War of Souls</a>. The end of the war brings the return of the gods, <a href="/facts/Takhisis/Gucj6D2t">Takhisis</a>'s death, and the departure of Paladine as head of the good gods in order to maintain the balance between Good and Evil.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/List_of_Dragonlance_novels/XnWXfqNa">The Dark Disciple</a> trilogy follows the death of <a href="/facts/Takhisis/Gucj6D2t">Takhisis</a> and the departure of Paladine, when the lesser gods strive to maintain dominance.</li></ul>

Eight <a href="/facts/Video_game/vmTdNASJ">video games</a> are set in the Dragonlance world. They belong to six different <a href="/facts/Video_game_genre/yHpBg0aK">genres</a> and were released within five years, from 1988 to 1992.
DL01 - Dragons of Despair and DL02 - Dragons of Flame (corresponding to the events in the first novel, Dragons of Autumn Twilight) were adapted into the video games <a href="/facts/Heroes_of_the_Lance/s49QzalL">Heroes of the Lance</a> and <a href="/facts/Dragons_of_Flame_(video_game)/Wr4Sjey6">Dragons of Flame</a>, respectively. Instead of being role-playing video games, they are <a href="/facts/Platform_game/KJnmd0Il">platform games</a> using the Silver Box <a href="/facts/Game_engine/lojx7lTG">game engine</a>. DL03 - Dragons of Hope and DL04 - Dragons of Desolation (corresponding to the events between the first and the second novel) were adapted into the video game <a href="/facts/Shadow_Sorcerer/2XGxdb6h">Shadow Sorcerer</a>. Released in 1991, this early <a href="/facts/Real-time_strategy/0xmCAUgz">real-time strategy</a> game is a direct sequel to the first two games and a prequel to War of the Lance (1989). DL11 - Dragons of Glory is a self-contained tabletop strategy game (corresponding to the events in the background of the third novel, Dragons of Spring Dawning) that was adapted into the <a href="/facts/Turn-based_strategy/64zxcRp2">turn-based strategy</a> game <a href="/facts/War_of_the_Lance/HnElsKRw">War of the Lance</a>.
<a href="/facts/DragonStrike_(video_game)/pPBTnADJ">DragonStrike</a> is a 1990 <a href="/facts/Combat_flight_simulation_game/Dxc18EHQ">combat flight simulation game</a> whose plot begins halfway through the previous video game. The 1992 NES remake is a <a href="/facts/Shoot_%2527em_up/dyAgF51H">scrolling shooter</a> that features an ending different from the one in the novels, but following and fixing a "bad ending" from DL14 - Dragons of Triumph. Neither game is based directly on any tabletop module. The Gold Box trilogy (<a href="/facts/Champions_of_Krynn/oIT4DkAe">Champions of Krynn</a>, <a href="/facts/Death_Knights_of_Krynn/ImkITsRc">Death Knights of Krynn</a>, and <a href="/facts/The_Dark_Queen_of_Krynn/6Ar6mUk5">The Dark Queen of Krynn</a>) are the only <a href="/facts/Role-playing_video_game/o4sTj5vl">role-playing video games</a> based on Dragonlance. They tell an original story that begins shortly after the events in the 14 tabletop modules.
Apart from those, the <a href="/facts/MUSH/oz898ptD">MUSH</a> game DragonLance is based on Krynn during the final stage of the <a href="/facts/War_of_the_Lance/HnElsKRw">War of the Lance</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a>

<h2 id="world">World</h2>
The Dragonlance world is described in dozens of books and novels. The setting contains numerous <a href="/facts/List_of_major_Dragonlance_characters/EbId51gN">characters</a>, an extensive timeline, and a detailed geography.

<h3>Setting</h3>

Dragonlance is set on the world of Krynn. Most of the novels take place in the regions of <a href="/facts/Ansalon/67pr4Dc4">Ansalon</a>, a small continent, though some have taken place on the continent of Taladas, located northeast of Ansalon. The world's major gods are the High God and his children: good Paladine, neutral Gilean, and evil <a href="/facts/Takhisis/Gucj6D2t">Takhisis</a>. The gods are opposed by Chaos, who seeks to destroy Krynn. Depending on the period, the evil <a href="/facts/Chromatic_dragon/rJKu80wp">chromatic</a> and the good <a href="/facts/Metallic_dragon/rJKu80wp">metallic dragons</a> are rare or plentiful. Humans are Krynn's most common humanoid race, but <a href="/facts/Elf_(Dungeons_%2526_Dragons)/JQESj9ev">elves</a>, <a href="/facts/Dwarf_(Dungeons_%2526_Dragons)/tCNnbKXP">dwarves</a>, <a href="/facts/Kender_(Dragonlance)/Drz4onxx">kender</a>, <a href="/facts/Gnome_(Dragonlance)/67pr4Dc4">gnomes</a>, and <a href="/facts/Minotaur_(Dungeons_%2526_Dragons)/wwfGjfxQ">minotaurs</a> occupy the world as well. Clerics derive magical powers from their gods, and wizards derive power from the three moon gods, good Solinari, neutral Lunitari, and evil Nuitari. Hickman had previously served as a <a href="/facts/Mormon_missionary/fb06qcoN">Mormon missionary</a> in <a href="/facts/Java/2MNA2rLm">Java</a> for two years and used <a href="/facts/Indonesian_language/J8Q78Ywb">Indonesian</a> in Dragonlance spells.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> During Krynn's various wars, armies of <a href="/facts/Draconian_(Dragonlance)/67pr4Dc4">draconians</a> are used as troops. Draconians are created by corrupting a dragon egg, creating a reptilian humanoid. Any dragon egg can be used to make a draconian, although the ones most commonly used are good dragon eggs because the evil kings want more evil dragons to hatch.
Other gods of the setting include the gods of good Branchala, Habbakuk, Kiri-Jolith, Majere, and Mishakal; the gods of neutrality Chislev, Reorx, Shinare, Sirrion, and Zivilyn; and the gods of evil, Chemosh, Hiddukel, Morgion, Sargonnas, and Zeboim.

<h3>Fictional history</h3>
The history of the world of Krynn, and thus the settings for both the novels and gaming supplements, is roughly split into five separate ages. The first age is the time of creation, when the gods are born and Krynn is formed. The Age of Dreams, the second age, is marked by the rapid growth of the world's first great civilizations and the appearance of myriad new races. This era is also marked by three great wars between dragons and their minions. Following the Third Dragon War, in the Age of Might, the Cataclysm obliterates the great empire of <a href="/facts/Istar_(Dragonlance)/67pr4Dc4">Istar</a> and changes almost the entire surface of Krynn. A 300-year depression follows this event, in what is called the Age of Despair. This period also marks the <a href="/facts/War_of_the_Lance/HnElsKRw">War of the Lance</a>. When Dragonlance was first introduced to Dungeons & Dragons, events such as the Lost Wars happened during The Age of Despair.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a> Later <a href="/facts/Age_of_Mortals/oukx3KJg">Age of Mortals</a> novels and game supplements took Krynn into the Fifth Age (the Age of Mortals).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a>

<h3>Dragonlances</h3>
Dragonlances are weapons first created in the Third Dragon War, designed with the purpose of killing evil <a href="/facts/Dragon_(Dungeons_%2526_Dragons)/rJKu80wp">dragons</a>, and are the only weapons with which mortals who cannot use magic can kill dragons. Dragonlances have this power because of the way in which they are created, which requires the use of "two god-blessed artifacts". 
Dragonlances are rare and not commonly traded. There are lesser dragonlances, which are made when only one of the artifacts is used to create them, and greater dragonlances, which are made when both artifacts are used to make them. Greater dragonlances are blessed with the power of Good, unlike lesser dragonlances.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a>
There are two sizes of dragonlance. The smaller footman's dragonlance is around eight feet long and functions as a <a href="/facts/Polearm/KJgmqBXD">polearm</a>, while the larger mounted dragonlance is around sixteen feet long and most commonly used when mounted on a dragon.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a>

<h3>Characters</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/List_of_Dragonlance_characters/EbId51gN">List of Dragonlance characters</a>

The Heroes of the Lance are the protagonists of the Chronicles trilogy, the first series of Dragonlance books. They were created by Weis and Hickman, then fleshed out as <a href="/facts/Player_character/YAfuo6f2">player characters</a> in gaming sessions of Dungeons & Dragons at Hickman's apartment. One player at this initial gaming session was game designer Terry Phillips, who was playing as <a href="/facts/Raistlin/GwgpQYvD">Raistlin</a>. According to Hickman in the foreword to The Soulforge, "[we] were just settling in to the game when I turned to my good friend Terry Phillips and asked what his character was doing. Terry spoke...and the world of Krynn was forever changed. His rasping voice, his sarcasm and bitterness all masking an arrogance and power that never needed to be stated suddenly were real. Everyone in the room was both transfixed and terrified. To this day Margaret [Weis] swears that Terry wore the black robes to the party that night".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a>
In a "Traveling Road Show" put on to publicize the novels, the Heroes of the Lance were played by various people. Authors Gary and Janet Pack played the half-elf <a href="/facts/Tanis_Half-Elven/HGHFJ2I4">Tanis Half-Elven</a> and the <a href="/facts/Kender_(fantasy)/Drz4onxx">kender</a> <a href="/facts/Tasslehoff_Burrfoot/D0xvBJJU">Tasslehoff Burrfoot</a>, respectively. Author <a href="/facts/Douglas_Niles/tX2CUHGH">Douglas Niles</a> played the dwarf <a href="/facts/Flint_Fireforge/44TDqEdH">Flint Fireforge</a>. TSR employee Harold Johnson played the <a href="/facts/Knights_of_Solamnia/EbId51gN">Solamnic knight</a> <a href="/facts/Sturm_Brightblade/xFJ3g9wV">Sturm Brightblade</a>. The rest of the Heroes are the barbarians <a href="/facts/Goldmoon/H9QBujkH">Goldmoon</a> and <a href="/facts/Riverwind/X0rcN13b">Riverwind</a>, elf <a href="/facts/Laurana_Kanan/FL2t6KSV">Laurana Kanan</a>, and humans <a href="/facts/Caramon_Majere/fy8hL9kj">Caramon Majere</a> (Raistlin's brother) and <a href="/facts/Tika_Waylan/EbId51gN">Tika Waylan</a>. Weis played Fizban the Fabulous.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a>
In the beginning, Margaret Weis had problems depicting <a href="/facts/Tanis_Half-Elven/HGHFJ2I4">Tanis Half-Elven</a> in the novels. Tracy Hickman finally told her that "he's <a href="/facts/James_T._Kirk/BcRkbJQ7">James T. Kirk</a> of the <a href="/facts/Starship_Enterprise/yCvtIA1c">Starship Enterprise</a>". After that explanation, Margaret had no more difficulty writing about Tanis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a> Other noteworthy antagonists, and sometimes protagonists, are the Death Knight <a href="/facts/Lord_Soth/JTPnY4eF">Lord Soth</a> and <a href="/facts/Kitiara_Uth_Matar/bMBXEsye">Kitiara Uth Matar</a>, the half-sister of Raistlin and Caramon, and leader of one of the <a href="/facts/Dragonarmies_of_Ansalon/EbId51gN">Dragonarmies of Ansalon</a>. According to Hickman, Lord Soth is the most unpredictable character to write about: "Every time that character made an appearance in one of our books he would try to run off with the story".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a>

<h3>Locations</h3>
The world of Dragonlance is set on the planet of Krynn, with most of the action taking place on the continent of Ansalon. Some of the key countries and areas on Ansalon are the Plains of Dust, Solamnia with its great metropolis, Palanthas,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> the Blood Sea Isles, the Empire of Ergoth, Istar, and Sancrist, the elven kingdom of Silvanesti,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a> as well as the dwarven realm of Thorbardin. Important cities and towns and other locations include Solace (location of the Inn of the Last Home, and Sad Town), the High Clerist's Tower, Palanthas, Kendermore, Port Balifor (location of the Pig and Whistle Tavern), and the various Towers of High Sorcery.

<h3>Races</h3>
Like in many <a href="/facts/Dungeons_%2526_Dragons/1FQKcQSL">Dungeons & Dragons</a> campaign settings, the fictional world of the Dragonlance campaign is shaped by the division by race, with white humans as the central focus, but also including elves, goblins, and many others.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a> With the species in many cases clearly assigned to "good" and "evil",<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a> some critics have suggested that the setting had the <a href="/facts/Dungeons_%2526_Dragons_controversies/wYAgcDqh">potential to raise racist expectations</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a> The authors take an active stance against racist ideology and ensure that a "fascistic genocidal campaign to wipe-out species that are considered 'impure'" would have catastrophic consequences.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a> In contrast, the authors emphasize the need for tolerance and cooperation between the races.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a>

<h2 id="reception">Reception</h2>
Dragonlance is one of the most popular <a href="/facts/Shared_universe/FKMcprIl">shared worlds</a>, worlds in which writers other than those that created them place adventures.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a> The first Dragonlance trilogy, Chronicles, launched the Dungeons & Dragons line of novels, with many of its characters spun off into other novels.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> Along with <a href="/facts/Forgotten_Realms/FlyNaTvz">Forgotten Realms</a>, Dragonlance is TSR's most popular series of novels. According to The 1990s by Marc Oxoby, what is most notable about the series is that "what may at one time been considered disposable, escapist literature" found "unprecedented popularity" in the 1990s.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a> All of the Dragonlance novels remained in print during the decade, turning Weis and Hickman into literary stars and boosting sales of their non-Dragonlance novels. Although the series was initially published in paperback, its success led to hardcover printings. The hardcover version of Dragons of Summer Flame had an "impressive" first printing of 200,000 books.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a> Every Dragonlance novel by Weis and Hickman since 1995 has been released in hardcover, and some previous novels have been re-released in hardcover collector's editions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a> Dragonlance made TSR one of the most successful publishers of science fiction and fantasy in the 1990s.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a>
By 2008, there were more than 190 novels in the Dragonlance franchise.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a> Weis and Hickman's Dragonlance novels have made over twenty bestseller lists, with sales in excess of 22 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a> The pair's novels have been translated into <a href="/facts/German_(language)/oWaQIDA8">German</a>, <a href="/facts/Japanese_(language)/EEv485a5">Japanese</a>, <a href="/facts/Danish_(language)/sTcGXTMJ">Danish</a>, <a href="/facts/Dutch_(language)/yIB5lbsx">Dutch</a>, <a href="/facts/Finnish_(language)/lBuEIgs0">Finnish</a>, <a href="/facts/Spanish_(language)/95BgYNfv">Spanish</a>, <a href="/facts/French_(language)/qe1DnaQh">French</a>, <a href="/facts/Italian_(language)/YXsmvlQG">Italian</a>, <a href="/facts/Hebrew/hqKCSy9d">Hebrew</a>, <a href="/facts/Portuguese_(language)/vr3Fwzw3">Portuguese</a>, Greek and <a href="/facts/Turkish_language/C5X56Ijp">Turkish</a> and have sold well in the United States, Britain, and Australia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a>
Not all critics have praised Dragonlance and its creators. According to author <a href="/facts/Stephen_Hunt_(author)/ES5waov0">Stephen Hunt</a>, Wendy Bradley of <a href="/facts/Interzone_(magazine)/xcrHuVEy">Interzone</a> magazine does not think highly of their work. Hunt feels that it is unusual for authors to receive such loathing among "fantasy's literary mafia", saying that "behind every critic's scorn laden insult, there lays [<a href="/facts/Sic/qB9MUUWF">sic</a>] that unsaid thought at the end: 'But I could have written that!'"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a> Visions of Wonder, edited by <a href="/facts/David_G._Hartwell/NGEBvKs2">David G. Hartwell</a> and Milton T. Wolf, and published by the <a href="/facts/Science_Fiction_Research_Association/CFwlf03x">Science Fiction Research Association</a>, argues that Dragonlance is published under the "omnivore theory" of publishing. In this theory, the readership is made up of teenagers, and completely replaces itself every three to five years. This allows publishers to release subpar novels and still reach a small yet profitable audience.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a>
