Transcript
The most commonly known continent on Krynn is Ansalon. Ansalon sits in the southern hemisphere of Krynn. It is surrounded by the Sirion Sea to the west, the Turbidus ocean to the north, and the Courrain Ocean to the east. It’s southern border meets with the south pole and the continent of Chorane. The continent has changed greatly from the first to the second Cataclysm, so we will be focusing on the current timeline in the Age of Mortals. The continent is divided by the New Sea, Schallsea straits, the Straits of Algoni, Miremier, the Blood Sea, the Bay of Balifor, and the Khurman Sea. It is composed of the following regions.
Abansinia has no official capital. Haven is it’s largest city. It is primarily populated by Humans, Dwarves, Centaurs and Goblins. It is governed by a confederation of several states, or tribes. It is composed primarily of a diversity of grasslands, hills and forests.
Balifor (The Desolation), also has no official capital. It is populated primarily by Humans, Kender, Half-Elves, Half-Ogres and Goblins. It is governed tribally. This region was transformed by the dragon overlord Malystrix from deserts, grasslands and farmlands to barren wastelands.
The Blood Sea Isles capitals are Sea Reach, Lacynos, and Lalpethis. They are populated primarily by Humans, Minotaurs, and Kyrie. They are governed by Republic, Feudal and Empiric governments respectively. Though the First Cataclysm split the isles from the mainland, and caused a never ending storm to ravage the Blood Sea, the second Cataclysm calmed the storm and life is made primarily through fishing and trade.
Estwilde has no capital and is populated by humans, goblins, ogres, giants, centaurs and hill dwarves. It is governed tribally. It consists of dry grasslands, rugged foothills, pine forests, and high mountains. It was populated by three dragons in the early Age of Mortals.
Goodlund (The Desolation) has no capital. It’s population consists of Barbaric humans, kender, ogres, goblins, draconians, and sligs. This region was also teraformed by the great dragon overlord Malystrix from a mild region of forests and plains to a wasteland.
Hylo, has it’s own capital of the same name. It is populated by Kender, Humans, goblins and ogres. It is governed by a democratic oligarchy. Also known as Kenderhome, it is well guarded by the Sentinal mountains to the west and the straits of Algoni to the east.
Icereach has no capital. It is populated by Humans, Thanoi, Draconians and white dragons. Though it is a vast frozen landscape of an immense glacier, with freezing climates, it was claimed by twin dragons in the Age of Mortals.
Kharolis’ capital is Alsip. It is populated by humans, dwarves and ogres primarily. It’s governments are dictatorships and semi-independent tribes. This land was transformed by the dragon overlord Beryllinthranox, but in its absence has been repopulated.
Khur’s capital is Khuri-Khan. It is populated by nomads, goblins and ogres. It is governed by independent khanates.It’s diverse terrain consists of coasts, deserts, mountains and forests. It ranges from being perpetually dry and warm in the winter to blisteringly hot in the summer.
Neraka’s capital is Jelek. It’s populated by humans, ogres, hobgoblins and draconians. It's governed as a dictatorship and tribally. This region was once the center of all evil during the Age of Despair, it has now lost its prominence in the Age of Mortals.
Nightlund has no capital. It is populated by humans, draconians and the undead. It has a republican government. The eternal twilight of this region Takhisis laid down to conceal Lord Soth, is now gone in the Age of Mortals, and the sun now shines upon this gloom-ridden land.
Nordmaar’s capital is North Keep. It is populated entirely by nomads. Its governments are Feudal or tribal. Once a seat of the Red Dragonarmy, it was assaulted by shadow wights in the Chaos War, and seized in part by the black dragon Mohrlex... - Розваги

Thank you for watching! Do you have a favorite area of Krynn? If you could 'move in' where would you live and in what era? Leave a comment below.
Solace.
What a great question. Palanthus, both beautiful and prosperous. I love the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthus, property value is low around the tower. You could pick up a cheap fixer-upper. Imagine waking up in the morning and looking out the window at the Shoikan Grove and the black tower ... nice. Silvanost or Qualinost, beautiful and peaceful ... for about a week. Living with the elves would really piss me off, life-loving, tree-hugging vegans. Nowhere within a stone's throw of a kender community. Solace is a good suggestion. Gee you know, it would be really helpful if someone made a series of "Krynnish Travel Videos" ... on a UA-cam channel ... about Dragonlance.
Definitely somewhere in the heart of Solamnia. To many things that could eat me otherwise. Lol
Oh, the great library of Palanthas would be nice. Sorry if I missed the reference to Godshome in the video.
THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE. The excellent presentation of precise cartography makes this video perfect for showing to players new to Krynn as a primer on the milieu. Wondrous work!
~❌KT❌
Thank you! I will be doing another one on the other lands of Krynn.
Time of the Dragon, Taladas, my favorite source material and game world since 1989!
The grittier Dragonlance!
Taladas is great and still new to so many fans!
The TotD set is awesome. Taladas has a much more melancholy, gritty, pulp feel. Great artwork by Stephen Fabian, too, and the double poster map is fantastic. It's a pity it doesn't get more recognition.
I started a VERY ambitious fanfic epic based in Taladas. It had an opening where a Glass Sailor family arrived in a broken city to attend a yearly gathering and festival, only to be attacked and killed by a group of Aurim hobgoblins. One young man escaped, and made his way through some tunnels to be found by a group of gnomes. I had a grand vision where he was the last of the kings of Old Aurim, and would lead a coalition of peoples against a combined axis of Thenol, Fire minions, and evil dragons...ridden by a race of evil Irda who had hidden themselves for millennia. It was fun, haphazard, and insanely ambitious. It never had a chance LOL.
It sounds like a great idea
@DLSaga thanks! I had lots of ideas I thought were cool, but oddly, my favorite one was making the gnomes almost steam punk modern. I wrote a part where Isaac, the wandering Glass Sailor youth, stumbles into the ruins of a great subway train system that once connected all of the citadels. There was even illusory magic left behind; helpful assistants were still guiding people to different routes and describing the different citadels and what they offered. It was SO much fun to write!
This is a great video. It would be really helpful to have one focused on the geography of Ansalon at the beginning of the War of the Lance, though-for all of us playing the new DragonLance campaign!
I may be able to put that together sometime.
Thank you for the overview it was really interesting to hear about the other continents I didn't even know it exists existed keep up the good work
Thank you for watching. There are actually more islands/continents that need to be presented in a future video!
The other day I had a vague memory of reading the original trilogy years and years ago but that it was above my reading level at the time and hard to follow, now I look forward to revisiting, I love a good fleshed out world, or in this case, entire planet
Let me know what you think after revisiting it.
Loved Krynn since I first read Dragonlance in middle school.
Thank you for this, subbed.
That’s great, welcome to the channel!
I loved the video and the info. I would enjoy a next video with info of Adlantum and those continents not usually covered in the novels.
That’s because they are fan created. I will go over that sometime. I’m trying to finish the War of the Lance Era atm
Great work. I plan to run a 5th edition campaign on Krynn. I am not a fan of The Age of Mortals. I love how Krynn has evolved over time, both geographically and culturally. Here is a suggestion, how about doing focused videos on specific regions and how they have changed over the last three ages of Krynn? Solamnia through the ages, Silvanesti through the ages ... etc.
That is a great idea, I think I will. Thanks!
Age of Mortals was awful. I could barely read the books...especially Jean Rabe's.
@@AndronicusKomnenos yeah, they ruined it for me.
@@DLSagaanna see a video on Abanasinia were the lands and mountains. What is the mountain next to the towns Solace, Gateway, Haven?
My character Makish was born in Solace, when his father ( Black Smith) died of the Black Mouth Plague, and his mother ( Bar Maiden) was too ill care for son. She took too the Temple of Serenity in the mountains near Solace. Makish is Variant Human Lawful Neutral Monk ( The Way of the Ascending Dragon 🐉), Background Folk Hero. Worshipper of Paladine!!
Well, if I recall, The gnomes of Taladas were radically different from the gnomes of Ansalon. The ones in Ansalon are the Tinker Gnomes, while the ones in Taladas are Thinker Gnomes. Thinker Gnomes look down and treat the Tinker Gnomes very poorly as incapable inventors. Thinker Gnomes act very similar to your typical Gnomes in other realms. They are much less compatible than the happy go lucky True Kender and The Afflicted Kender which have a similar mindset to Halflings in other realms.
There are a couple tribes, and yes, some were like what would be known as Thinker Gnomes in the Fifth Age.
Very helpful , Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Solace, Inn of the Last Home, eating some Otik's Spiced Potatoes.
Sounds like a good time!
thank god Weiss is writing 3 more novels.
I am looking forward to them!
I cannot wait to run Shadow of the Dragon Queen
It’s going to be a good time.
I feel like we need to have a summit so we can all discuss and agree on pronunciations. I've seen this with so many fans, we all read these growing up and pronounce things differently. Some of the ways you say things I prefer, but others I like how I grew up saying it. Anyway, great vid!
Yea, it’s sad, but there should be an official pronunciation guide lol.
@@DLSaga no, let's leave it up to the fans. We'll decide which ones sound coolest. ;)
Lol Tam-ire, long I. Panak, almost like Panic.
Kristophan=Krist-o-fawn, Vinlans=Vin-luns, Trilloman=Trill-uh-mon. Hitekhel, that’s always been a tough one. But I think at our table we all sorta agreed on High-tek-ehl.
Just wanted to add how I’ve pronounced them since the 80s.
Ive always said there is at least 2 more continents. The Map of Krynn itself has the area for them both.
My take it was for future stories to come.
There are other land masses outlined in novels and game supplements, even a fan generated one. I will go into more details on those in another episode.
I really enjoy the League of Minotaurs. My favorite era was probably between the War of the Lance and the Chaos War.
That was a great era!
Loved it... Although would like to know more about the different races especially what did you call them...Backelie???
Next weeks video is actually about races, though the Balkali were not included in that video.
What was the island 'Far, far to the North' that was the Isle of the Irda in Dragons of Summer Flame?
That was Anaiatha.
There is Adlatum, which is mentioned in a couple of Margaret Weis RPG books, Tasselhoff Map Pouch and Dragons of Krynn. There is a fan made sourcebook detailing Adlatum, but it is considered completely unofficial.
I believe there is brief mention of Ansalon has more continents than that according to the 3.5e Dragonlance Campaign Setting that are currently unknown.
Finally, there is the Isle of Gargath and the Isle of Ithin'carthia. Ithin'carthia is an island subcontinent where Ariakas got the Brutes, and the Isle of Gargath was the site of an adventure by Palin Majere and his brothers before the Chaos War. Both are depicted in the War of the Lance Map Pouch.
I will check them out. At the end of the 3.5 era, I was unsure what was fan made and what was ‘official’ as it was all blended together a bit. Thank you!
@@DLSaga There is also something else I forgot, somewhere east? of Mithas is an Isle with the Kazelati minotaurs, the descendants of Kaz and and his followers. That is mentioned in the Richard A Knaak minotaur books.
I’ll have to make a video called More Lands of Krynn.
@@DLSaga Maybe using the gazeteer in the War of the Lance Sourcebook instead of the Dragonlance Campaign Setting since the Dragon Overlords destroyed entire countries in the 5th Age like Vantal, Kharolis, Kendermore and others. That source also gives a bit more information on the regions themselves than the Dragonlance Campaign setting, such as Duntillok which is a politically distinct state from the rest of the Plains of Dust, or Clare-Elian a state ruled by monks just offshore of the Goodlund Penninsula.
Chorane has a lot of potential..Eragala...Nerosh...
It’s a cool area.
Not even mentioning Neron's population of Wild Elves and Mind Flayers?^^ Probably one of the scariest regions to adventure in.
I will be returning for more discussions, I was trying to give a broad overview.
Wizards could revitalize dragonlance by picking out regions and having having good authors write stories about adventures going on here...I also think it needs a new trilogy set in the current time to help set in motion new opportunities for unique adventures in the different locations. I know there is a new book coming out but it takes place around the War of the Lance...not sure what the end result will be
I think you have a great idea here. Rather than rehashing the same era, I would prefer a post war of souls Dragonlance adventure.
I've always thought every DL needs a sick cover art and a map of the geography of said book.
And chapter illustrations?
@@DLSaga completely agree! Should be staples of all DL books.
Thenol vs. The Empire. The Legion vs. Undead Horde. Soo unknown and under-utilised.
There are a lot of interesting regional dynamics, that are only explored in home games or not at all.
l Dragonlance is the best campaign world in novels IMO.
A great history and the heroes ( exept Fizban) arent undestroyable gods ( like a certain un named dark elf) they can be hurt and be killed.
Far more in2 than others out there. Looking forward to version 5 stories
Same here! I hope they ignore the game version and just tell a good story.
Where did you find the world map of Kryn? I’m building a Dragonlance campaign in 3D using Unreal 5 and that map would b a great reference for the project!!!
Very cool. I got it from the otherlands supplement linked in the description.
Isn't the Inn of the Last Home in Solace, Abanasinia everyone's favorite?
It’s the most famous
Would be really interested in an "expanded" version of this video, let's say 40 minutes or so to say something more about the inhabitants of the various regions.
That is outside of the scope of my channel, but I am coming back for new episodes of more lands of Krynn and eventually lost lands of krynn
I don’t remember anything about the second cataclysm. Where did Qualenesti and Silvanesti elves end up?
I am not sure anyone knows for sure.... In the Elven Exiles trilogy, that was the last I know of dealing with the elves, some ended up in Inath-Wakenti in Khur and some in Qualinesti.
How did Draconians get to Taladas in sufficient numbers to be worth mentioning. I always took Taladas to be more or less unknown to the people of Ansalon. Though of course, the Minotaurs know.
I was referencing the content of the sourcebooks. They were mentioned in it, so I added them. I will continue to cover More Lands of Krynn in a later video.
Bro can you link this map? I cant find one this good online
I have referenced so many maps, I am not sure which you are referring to.

There are also some great Tasslehoff Map Pouch collections.
Where can I find this map?
I reference a few maps. The world map is in the accessory Otherlands from AD&D 2e
No love for Adlatum?
Though officially, it's just a name on a map.
I am as yet ignorant about Adlatum. I believe it is a fan made island, partly by yourself, that is mentioned in one of the sourcebooks released by MWP. I need to read up on it and I can make a video for it.
@@DLSaga So the name is on at least one of the maps from Tasslehoff's Map Pouches. It's official in name only. Everything else for it is fan-made on the Nexus.
You're doing great on these videos, btw.
@@TrampasWhiteman We were supposed to do an interview and you ghosted me. What was that about?
@@DLSaga - Apologies!
Dude, real life has kicked me real hard this year. It's been a rough one.
Let's get together after the first of the year.
@@TrampasWhiteman I certainly understand that. I hope everything is improving and I will reach out again at the beginning of the year.
Well done sir. Anywhere in taladas someone could pulla dogslead? Writer here.....
I’m sure seasonally, anywhere you could.
Wait...did you say 2nd Cataclysm?? That's new to me.
Yes. The Chaos was was called the second cataclysm in the Fifth Age game supplements. It was abandoned in D&D3e however.
@@DLSaga Which of the novels covers this? Never mind, I researched this and Dragons of Summer Flame covers the Chaos War (was NOT a fan of this one as I felt this negated the heroics of the War of the Lance and rendered it somewhat meaningless, shy of making sure Takhisis never entered Krynn)
@@justsurfin5013 It gets more convoluted than that. The Heroes of a New Age trilogy as well as the War of Souls Trilogy reveal that Takhisis was the cause of the world changing and she comes back yet again to with a plan to enter Krynn. I won't spoil the details or ending.
Wait, wasn’t there another continents to the South West?
It was supposed to be where the Tarmak were from.
There are other islands and a fan made continent that will be covered in future episodes.
To hail from Estwild....I mean DAMN. Throtl...🙄....
Thanks for watching!
You've forgotten to include the continent of Adlatum in the west.
I didn't forget, I intentionally didn't as it's a fan creation that was later references a couple times. I will return in a future video to talk about it.
Have you read the atlatum source book??
I have not. I stay away from fan made content. I may get into it at a later date though.
@@DLSaga they did a phenomenal job. I miss DL man. It just went downhill.
I noticed adlatum was missing
There were a number of land masses I didn’t mention. I won’t be adding fan made references until the official ones are mentioned. You can except a More Lands of Krynn video sometime.
@@DLSaga yeah I'm just eager for the deep dives into the geography of ansalon , it's special places described . I've read some things about adlatum from the dragonlance lexicon site but they keep changing or removing info making the clear picture of krynn difficult to visualize .the realms for instance is described in minute detail
İthın carthia and adlatum leave the chat
I talk about Ithincarthia in another video, since Adlatum is fan content, I will be waiting till I have finished official content to cover it.
@@DLSaga ı am sorry bro ı am sorry
Please link the ıthın carthia video at the comment
@@oguzsimsek8196 ua-cam.com/video/py0VQzRUMts/v-deo.html
Although the content and descriptions are good, the way you show it is disorientating to someone that is not accoustomed to the lands.
I can appreciate that. I tried to hang on the continent view as much as possible for context, but really wanted to feature the regions in this episode. I will be returning for More Lands of Krynn in the future.
Ugh, the age of Mortals sounds so stupid. It doesn't seem like real dragonlance at all. I found the video interesting at first, but the focus on the age of Mortals made me lose all interest.
No worries. It wasn’t for everyone.
