Dragonlance

The World of Krynn was my first campaign setting I ever played in. Many you probably are familiar with the core books that started the Dragonlance Saga. The original trilogy took place on the continent of Ansalon, where it was said the old gods were returning. A group of heroes (Raistlin, Caramon, Sturm, Tanis, Flint, Riverwind, Goldmoon, and Tasslehoof) soon become involved in  a plot to save the world from the encrouching Dragon Armies and the return of the Queen of Darkness... Takhisis herself.


We also found out that Krynn is the third planet from the sun. It is orbited by three moons; Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari. The other planets in the system are; Sirrion, Reorx, Chislev, Zivilyn, and Nehsmyth. Krynn also sports two other continents on the planet. Taladas to the east of Ansalon, Adlatum to the west. Each of the lands have their own unique stories to tell, but it seems the gods themselves have been constantly focused on Ansalon. In the past, the Great Kingdom of Istar bought down the wrath of gods for its hubris. The Kingpriest believed himself greater than the gods themselves... and for that the world was hit by two great meteors that sunk the nation of Istar and changed Ansalon. Likewise the second meteor struck Taladas and tore the Empire of Aurim asunder as well for the same arrogance. It wouldn't be for another 400 years until the gods would return.

Thus a new age was born, the gods walked amongst the people once again and things prospered for a time.
Yet trouble loomed on the horizon when one of the imprisoned gods suddenly returned. During this Chaos the World of Krynn was stollen from the universe and was sequestered elsewhere by the Queen of Darkness. Yet as she regained her power slowly, her plan were shattered decades later when the gods returned. In the end Takhisis was killed, and the pantheon was broken. Again the world tried to build itself over since it was found, but it the last ages as it was touched a secret was found of a hidden goddess known as Mina.
