Dragonlance : Shadow of the Dragon Queen

About the adventure

What is your regret, what makes you cling to your coin pouch as your worries sow in your debt. Did you serve in the Thousand year war that ended two years prior? Were you honorable in your service? The Mourning which had brought the five nations to a negotiation of peace, even they do not know what cause a million casualties from the city of Cyre. The Five Nations. Aundair, Breland, Cyre, Karrnath and Thrane are collectively referred to as the Five Nations. These nations formed the heart of the Kingdom of Galifar, and while each has a unique cultural identity they are built on this shared foundation. Families are spread across the Five Nations; the rulers of the Five Nations are tied to the Wynarns, the royal bloodline of Galifar. Despite their differences, an Aundairian has more in common with a Thrane than they do with a Zil gnome or a Lhazaar pirate. Aside from Cyre—which was destroyed in the Last War—the Five Nations remain the largest and most powerful countries in Khorvaire. Though a dilapidated version of its old self, New Crye can be found. The Treaty of Thronehold officially ended the Last War. The treaty recognized the following nations as sovereign states: Aundair, Breland, Darguun, the Eldeen Reaches, Karrnath, the Lhazaar Principalities, the Mror Holds, Q’barra, the Talenta Plains, Thrane, Valenar, and Zilargo. These nations abide by a common set of laws and maintain diplomatic relations. The Demon Wastes and Shadow Marches are regions that have no unified government, while Droaam has declared itself to be a nation but has yet to be recognized by the others. The area you are from is important, but regardless of where you are from. You all have one thing in common, the mystery of the mournland. Where it came from and how did it happen was it a weapon, magic, diety. Find out adventures. Bring peace to this land. EVERYDAY MAGIC Here are a few examples of how magic is integrated into everyday life in Khorvaire.The lightning rail uses bound elementals to drive a train of carriages along a path of conductor stones. The rail links most major cities and is a simple way to travel long distances. An elemental airship uses a fire or air elemental, bound into a ring that holds the ship aloft and provides motive force. The airship is a recent innovation that is transforming the business of transportation. Everbright lanterns use continual flame to light the streets of Khorvaire. The flame never goes out, but metal shutters allow a lantern to be dimmed or shut down. Speaking stones allow communication between distant communities. A short message can be sent from one stone to another, functionally similar to a telegraph. Warforged are sentient humanoid golems. Developed during the Last War, warforged were created as weapons. The Treaty of Thronehold forbid the creation of new warforged, while granting freedom to the golems that survived the war.
