The Fifth Age
The Age of Mortals
The Fourth Age has come to and end with the War of Chaos ending with the defeat of the God Chaos. Ansalon has suffered with some claiming another Catacylsm in the wake of the Chaos War. Chaos' Red Dragons have laid waste northern Solamnia and Daemons have terrorised the lands for over a decade.
The Gods have paid a heavy price, for even as they have destroyed Chaos, so too have they been mysteriously taken from the world. The Fifth Age begins after the storm of Chaos' passing, when the storm cleared the skies were strange as the three moons and constellations of the Gods had vanished. A single moon remained amidst strange new constellations of stars.
This was to be the Fifth Age, a time where magic and the Gods influence on Krynn has diminished. A time for Mortals to take control and shape a new age for Ansalon through the dark tyranny of five new powerful Dragons that have arrived and causing much destruction throughout the region. Wizards and Sorcerors cling on to the magic of old, while others embrace a new form of magic... called mysticism.
It is a time where the spirits of the dead continue to wander the realms instead of journeying to the afterlife.
The metallic dragons have gone on a mighty quest in search of the lost Gods of Good. Those that stay to help out the good peoples of Krynn are mercilessly hunted by the Five new chromatic dragons. Much bigger and more powerful dragons that have come into the world, gaining the title of Dragon Overlords as they vanquish Krynn's dragons and take over large regions as their own. New Dragonspawned creatures emerge from the regions of the Dragon Overlords.
Will the new Dragon Overlords finally destroy the peoples of Krynn, and launch a new era of dragonspawn and draconians, or will the mortals find a way to survive the Fifth Age.
