OOC: Ok ok.. Gimme a break but I been reading this book from the "DragonLance" series.. and it's been appealing so I decided to start another chapter in the story, with new characters and enemies, new leaders and different gods. I'm still working out some details but I need help if one of the more talented writers assist me in my return.


Ok.. the basic layout is that the main land is called Ansalon. The largest water area is named Sirrion Sea. On Ansalon by the city of Palanthas is a tower known as the High Clerist's Tower. The Knights of Solamnia, the good knights, reside here. Located in the city of Palanthas is the Tower of Wizardry of Palanthas. Another tower is located in the city of Wayreth. The tower is therefore named the Tower of Wayreth. Five towers used to exist, though three feel during the reign of Istar. In both towers is the dreaded Portal of the Abyss. Which, when opened, leads to the other life of torture and despair. Ansalon is surrounded by many Isles. One of those is Ergoth, which is seperated into northern and southern. Another is Sanerist.. located to the west of Ergoth.

Ansalon holds many races:

Humans, normal humans, Ergothians, and the Death Knights.. Which are normal humans dedicated to the dark and are extremely skilled swordsman
Kender, fun loving, mischevious little creatures who steal things and dont even know it
Ogres, ferocious warriors who do battle in the nude, painted in blue foulsmelling paint that they say protects them form anything, feared by many, mosting controlled by the Dark knights for battle.
Dwarves, little pieces of trash eating scum, hated by all, they mostly become thieves and serve on the wooden ships.
Irda, powerful magic users, their features flawless and their hearts innocent, they never do battle, just use magic for good.
Gnomes, small creatures, a little higher on the status quo than the dwarves.
Elves, long living creatures, talented archers, talented with steel making.
Dragons, all different colors and intelligents.. the Silver and Black dragons regard humans with downcast eyes.


All of these races besides Dwarves and Ogres have the magical ability inside them, only a few recongize this and take it on.

Wizards are classified in different groups and stages.
Good wizards wear the White Robes.
Wizards who worship the three gods of the moons wear Gray Robes.
Wizards of the darkside wear Black robes.

Wizards start in stages and make choices.. all start as an apprentice, then become a mage at this point they decide who to worship and select their robes. They may switch at anytime, though the gods due hate this.

Let me know if I'm forgetting anything.. Like I said.. I'm still piecing it together.. Just leave the char info like normal and we'll make shit up as we go.. k? k.. lol.. Outs..

Which series of the books are you talking about? I have read the Dragon ones with Tanis and his companions, the Time of the Twins, The Seven Sentinel series with Guerrand, and a scattering of others. There is another poster here named Tanishalfelven, that I am sure would be interested.

Chewey
 
Oh really.. lol

Well.. the book is Dragons of Summer Flame.. from the DragonLance Chronicles.. Volume 4.. lol.. With Steel and Usha and Palin and.. my favorite because of his cockiness, Raistlin. It's the one where Tanis dies.. -wipes a tear-
 
I stopped reading the chronicles series after the third book , when they defeated the Dark Queen. But I am sure that it is pretty similar. I always liked Hickman and Weis, they are a good combination. I am sure that Tanishalfelven would want Tanis. So I will have to pick Guerrand Al'Thon , former guardian of Bastion, a member of the Red Robes. Are you familiar with that series?

Chewey
 
Nope.. lol.. Weis and Hickman weren't mention so far in my book.. and I've only read this one book so I know very little.. Besides the normal things about Caramon and Tanis and Porthios and Lord Ariakan. My book is the one where the Graygem is broken and Chaos Himself is released upon the world to destroy the "God's Plaything"...

Anyhoo... I'd have to take my hero.. Raistlin Majere.. In his more younger days at his fullest power.. Before he fought the Dark Queen in the Abyss and sacrificed himself.. lol.. = )~
 
Hmm where to start. First off Tracy Hickman and Margret Weis wrote "Dragons of Summer Flame" as well as the rest of the chronicles. Nuetral wizards wear red robs by the way. Theres also Minitours and the good paliduns are called Knights of Solamani. Each of the knights was split up into 3 areas as well. "The dark" nights orders are Knights of the Thorn, Knights of the Lily, and um well I cant remember what the 3rd one's was. The "Good knights" are split up into Knights of the Rose, Knights of the kingfisher, and Knights of the sword. Theres very few of the Dragon Lance novels I havent read so if ya need anymore info by all means PM me any questions. I have a few sites in my fav's that I'll link here in a min. Have to locate them. Real pain when ya got 100+ things in your favs.

Dragon Lance site 1 Site 2
Site 3Site 4 Hope those help.:D

Its been a while since I really got into DragonLance, but I've read almost every single novel in the series. Tanis has it right, though the order he missed was the Knights of the Skull.
Let me know if you've got any other questions, I know the genre pretty well. (Though I know the Forgotten Realms world of Faerun better)

Blaze
 
Tanis is reserved.

Chewy - Guerrand Al'Thon
Kenshin- Raistlin Majere

Blaze.. I know you wanna join bro.. Get in here and we can make this a fucking awesome thread. And Bobo.. join too man.. There's plenty of characters for even newbies to join, and we could easily carry this thread on for a long time. I'll start the whole thing tuesday night, or when 5 people have joined, whichever is first
 
I'll get back to you tomorrow night around this time, I need to decide who I want to be.

Blaze
 
Knights of the skull? *slaps head* I knew that just couldnt remember for the loife of me. Theres also a 3rd group of knights roaming around to but thats in DragonLance 5th Age and if we are using Tanis and the rest of them then they wouldnt really be around....course neither would the evil knights...hmm choices choices.:D
 
By the way Tanis, you are welcome for reserving him for you. lol. I was going to pm you today and let you know about this thread if you had not found it by today.

Chewey

TanisHalfElven - Tanis
Chewy - Guerrand Al'Thon
Kenshin - Raistlin Majere

Hehe thanks Chewy. i almost skipped over it since it says Deathlance instead of DragonLance. Figured i might as well check it out though. Glad I did.
 
lol.. No worries.. It's just a catchy title.. Deathlance just kinda replaced where Dragon was in Dragons of the Summer Flame .. Ya know.. Anyhoo..
 
I posted something about this OOC on the ORP thread. I had talked about a thread on this idea a long time ago, and there was a little interest so maybe we can get a few more players that way.

Chewey
 
No problem, I hope more people do to. I like a thread that has a lot of participants so that things move along.

Chewey
 
Ya I totally agree. I've mentioned this on a few other boards that I post to so maybe some folks will stop by.
 
Okies if Chewie didn't mention this in the ORP anoucements I would not have looked ...

*a small hand slips into Tanis' pockets*

Tasslehoff Burrfoot you put that back where you found it.

*a child-like face peers behind Tanis* I didn't do anything Arc.

Tass what is that in yer hands.

*Tass looks* Oh this? *holds out a ring* I just found it.

Give it back to Tanis. That is his ring.

*Hands it back to Tanis* Here Tanis, you must have dropped it. Good thing I found it for you. *smiles*

*mutters* Kender, you either luv them or hate them. :rolleyes:
 
Hehe great now every things going to come up missing. *Makes sure he's far away from Tass.*
 
welcome Arc. good to see you on here. Cool, now we have the perfect person to play our resident thief.

Chewey
 
Hmm so the roster so far is::

TanisHalfElven - Tanis
Chewy - Guerrand Al'Thon
Kenshin - Raistlin Majere
Arc - Tasslehoff Burrfoot
