The Draconian war, otherwise known as the War of the Lance to mortals. [ He replies simply, he would go into greater detail when the time came ]
It would be a thousand years before he would do so, but yes. However the world had changed and for the first time dragons fought with mortal companions upon their back as riders. A war fought as much by mortals as it was by dragons.
Through the rise of Huma and the Silver dragon Heart, Takhisis herself was wounded in the final battles and forced from the world, for a time. Chromatics were forced to withdraw from the world or forced to slumber while we metallics retained the balance in lawful exile to the Dragon Isles.
[ He knows well that Aurican could well figure that there was more to what he had said, however he would only expand on such if asked by the gold.
At the Gold's question he dipped his head. ]
Indeed, two events which drastically changed the surface and peoples of Ansalon and Krynn.
The first cataclysm occurred during our time on the dragon isles, while many of us still slept. We felt little of its effects. In the time during our absence from the world a new empire arose by the name of Istar, an empire whose slow corruption of ideals thought themselves to be the true good of the world, to the point that the Kingpriest, the leader of their nation attempted to replace the gods themselves with himself. Warnings were sent and ignored by the people of Istar, and thus the gods set a firey mountain down upon Istar. Sinking it beneath the waves, and altering the face of Ansalon. In the aftermath, the gods withdrew from the world.
The second Cataclysm took place three hundred and three years after the first, many years after the Draconian war had concluded, both Chromatic and Metallic dragons were back in the world. Chaos himself was unleashed upon the world, his minions terrorizing much of the Ansalon and leaving devastation in his wake. Chaos was defeated and in the wake of his defeat, Takhisis worked her plans once more and stole the world away, cutting it off from the gods for a period of near fourty years until the war of Souls.
