Ancient dragonlances Plot in Krynn | World Anvil

Ancient dragonlances

The Inquisition seems to have found hammer, yet the location of the silver arm and dragons peak (this peak referred to by a soothsayer in Tarsis) remain a mystery
  • There is not a weapon more important to the history of Krynn than the fabled Dragonlance. In them, hope was restored when all seemed lost. In them, the party learned of Huma Dragonbane banished the Dark Queen’s servants with the power of the might lances. Her servants felt pain and fear never before experienced by dragon-kind. In the most powerful of them, it is said that the Dark Queen herself felt the holy power of Paladine.
  • Huma seems to have been a Solamnic Knight of the Rose that lived over 3000 years ago. The knight currently seem to be diminished and blamed for the fall of the cataclysm. They also seem to hate magic. Based in Solanthus the great city, through they can be found in small patches of resistance around the world of krynn
  • All the party have to go on is the tale of Huma, and a mysterious quote found in king Duncan's tomb deep in thorbardin written of the shaft of a broken pole.
  • In the Tower of Stars the party after touching an ancient statue is given a vision. A mountain range in ergoth, a silver river, liquid moonlight on an anvil, A silver arm is raised, and sparks fly off the Dwarven hammer of Kharas as a dragonlance is forged.
  • One of Alhana's gifts is Dragon metal (Or star metal from the Sky). Used to forge powerful items including more lances. It seems to find more metal they must go to the Dragon Isles, former home of the Good Dragons
  • Info on the silver arm seems to point to the underdark in Thorbardin's Northgate Complex
  • - The Party Finds a lesser DragonLance in Silvanesti/ seemingly pulled from Lorac's Dream from the stone statue     
    • +1 Lance (Footman Lance), +2d6 piercing damage against dragons. The damage versus all dragons can be reduced to 1d6, in exchange for +3d6 damage against one particular colour of dragon
    • With sufficient magical energy, the lance’s bonus piercing damage against dragons can instead be made into any other damage type
    • Can Use bonus action to attempt to blind a creature or lure it in (DC 15 WIS)
    • After a melee attack another playing can use their reaction to make a melee attack against the creature hit with the lance
    • The Lance seems to help keep evil or dark energy away
