=== Setting ===
[[File:Ansalon Post Cataclysm.png|thumb|Map of Ansalon, where the majority of the novels take place.]]
''Dragonlance'' is set on the world of Krynn. Most of the novels take place in the regions of [[Ansalon]], a small continent, though some have taken place on the continent of Taladas, located northeast of Ansalon. The world's major gods are the High God and his children: good Paladine, neutral Gilean, and evil [[Takhisis]]. The gods are opposed by Chaos, who seeks to destroy Krynn. Depending on the period, the evil [[Chromatic dragon|chromatic]] and the good [[metallic dragon]]s are rare or plentiful. Humans are Krynn's most common humanoid race, but [[Elf (Dungeons & Dragons)|elves]], [[Dwarf (Dungeons & Dragons)|dwarves]], [[Kender (Dragonlance)|kender]], [[Gnome (Dragonlance)|gnomes]], and [[Minotaur (Dungeons & Dragons)#Minotaurs in Dragonlance|minotaurs]] occupy the world as well. Clerics derive magical powers from their gods, and wizards derive power from the three moon gods, good Solinari, neutral Lunitari, and evil Nuitari. Hickman had previously served as a [[Mormon missionary]] in [[Java]] for two years and used [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] in ''Dragonlance'' spells.<ref name="Hunt"/> During Krynn's various wars, armies of [[draconian (Dragonlance)|draconians]] are used as troops. Draconians are created by corrupting a dragon egg, creating a reptilian humanoid. Any dragon egg can be used to make a draconian, although the ones most commonly used are good dragon eggs because the evil kings want more evil dragons to hatch.

Other gods of the setting include the gods of good Branchala, Habbakuk, Kiri-Jolith, Majere, and Mishakal; the gods of neutrality Chislev, Reorx, Shinare, Sirrion, and Zivilyn; and the gods of evil, Chemosh, Hiddukel, Morgion, Sargonnas, and Zeboim.
