Thank you for watching this video about the races of Krynn. Are there any races you prefer to play? Did I leave any out that you want to learn more about? Leave a comment below!
Human. I had a player who played a Kender. She did a fantastic job, perfect roleplaying. I really have to commend the rest of the players ... they were SO tolerant and patient.
My wife has a tendency to get up from the table randomly and wander the apartment, usually cooking for the group, or wandering off to parts unknown. For this reason, we often insist she play a Kender, simply so it is easier to explain her sudden and frequent real world absences in-game. She doesn't mind. She prefers playing rogues, anyway. As for me, I love a well-rolled dwarven fighter.
Ive been playing a Shadowdark rule set converted for Dragonlance and your videos are so valuable for me. The rules set is old school and the alignment system fits perfectly in the world.
I remember there was a rumor about Noble Draconians as well. It was a time when the Dragon Highlords ran out of Good Dragon eggs, so they had to resort to Evil Dragon Eggs. Quite a few of the Evil Dragons didn't like that idea at all. But the result of corrupting evil dragons resulted in Noble Draconians, which was a complete disaster. Most Noble Draconians were killed, but it was rumored that a few of each survived. Noble Draconians may be found with regular Draconians, but usually they prefer to be around the Good Dragons. At first glance, many people unfamiliar with Noble Draconians would view them as evil, but it was not the case. Perhaps, Paladine saved their race from total extinction?
there are two types of sea elves: the Dimernesti and the Dargonesti. the shallows dwellers and the deep sea dwellers. Also, They did the ritual of corruption on the chromatic dragon eggs when they ran out of metallics...and got chromatic draconians. they were the opposite of evil dragons. Good hearted, kind, and helpful.
@@DLSaga I've been wanting to read some of the older books on the elves history like The Kinslayer Wars. Do you recommend any? Or any Dragonlance solo books? (read most of the main series). I read the Dragonships of Vindras series, and while I thought Bones of the Dragon was an amazing thrilling start the rest of the series felt lacking to me. I also read Dezra's Quest many years ago, great book, I heard another in that series was good with Riverwind I think.
Kender are great! They are a way for us to live vicariously through their adventures in an honest and thrilling way. And... they’re great at busting balls!
Dragonlance was my first taste of dnd and became the baseline for my own campaigns. The one thing I've never got to use and my favorite niche race are the Thanoi walrus people of Icewall.
It would be interesting to run a one off of a thanoi forced into service of Feal-Thas that had to convince others to join him and rebel against the highlord.
I love this channel. I have been reading Dragonlance for years. I will admit, I have never played a DL module though. This is the first time, I have heard the pronunciations of the various races.
From Taladas, Bakali (lizard men) and Ilquar goblins are player races. Also of note. Minotaurs are ogre-kin, they were ogres in Taladas until the greygem. Then there are half-ogre player races as well.
You gotta love the Kender, not only will they take anything that isn't nailed down, they'll take the things that are nailed down. Hell, they'll take the nails too! And in true Kender fashion, none of them will have the slightest idea how any of those things ended up in their pouches.
Good summary, I certainly didn't know ogres in this setting were so different. I don't know if this was deliberate or not, but you seemed to have skipped over the noble draconians in the section pertaining the them.
I appreciate the DL version of the Ogre's downfall. They are simply part of The Ordening (I think that is the correct term) in Ferun and most campaigns. I like that in DL they are often portrayed as a race of average intelligence who once were the most beautiful humanoids to look upon (better than even the elves). This makes their current state that much more shocking.
As much as I love Dragonlance, I have had little play time in It. If I were able to play, I'd be a draconian. If that's not available, maybe a kender or goblinoid. 😁
Yup, my preference would be either Kender or Draconian (post Chaos). One of my excitements will be what the upcoming DL 5th Ed Campaign setting has to offer. I don't think Draconian made the UA as WotC seems to be focusing on class/backstory mechanics more :/
I really love this world of Krynn and wish I could see it on my laptop or my TV. There is a device one can plug into their TV and cellphone and what would have to be watched on my 3-5 screen l could watch on my 55" screen. All those images are amazing and would be WOW on my big screen.
@@DLSaga l only have internet. I don't have cable. Net said l don't need cable that my phone would sync with my TV. I'm not gadge savvy so I have no idea how that works.
I feel there one of these points is incorrect - I actually was one of the people that updated the dragonlance lexicon (I specialized in the high ogres) and the minotaurs were actually made by sargonnas from the high ogres - the few he took with him to reflect his own persona. This is detailed in the minotaur trilogy/fire rose trilogy with golgren - some of the last books in dragonlance. So Not by chaos. This video may have been made before that book was out though, so I'll forgive you that oversight :P
I research from AD&D to 3e. There are so many changes in history and origin that I am not ever surprised when anyone contests my research. Thank you for clarifying that.
@@DLSaga not a problem! Yes there is a snippet in dragonlance where golgren is in a cave and he sees a mural of the higher ogres trying to escape the curse that degenerated them into ogres, and sargonnas takes them and slowly morphs their features to reflect his likeness, well, one of his likenesses anyways. And thus primarily the minotaurs worship sargonnas, keeping them in the evil pantheon., as well as the god of greed, keeping them more or less aligned with their evil high ogre counterparts, along with their mentality that they are meant to rule the world. And don't worry, I have read every entry on the high ogres that exists. For instance there are still non-cursed high ogres that exist on the landmass beside ansalon, which is rarely ever mentioned. They have an entire city.
@@DLSaga One more thing - the high ogres didn't simply degenerate into ogres - they were cursed by the evil ogres to reflect the darkness within without through successive generations because of their failure to stop ingrams betrayal of their teachings and allowing humans free will and the eventual uprising of the humans against the high ogres. The irda were the ones under igram who escaped the wrath of the other high ogres and were given a realm to themselves, and given gifts fro mthe gods of good to keep them isolated, and to want to remain isolated from the rest of ansalon, and the ability to shapeshift to hide their identity, for there is a prediction that the high ogres wil lone day return, and try to take over the world, which does happen in the very last book in the dragonlance series before wotc prevented any new books from being made. The evil high ogres could slow down the curse, but it involved killing any high ogres that were born with deformities thus extremely limiting their numbers (They were known at the nzunta). They prayed to the gods to help them with their deformities and sirrion gifted then with the fire rose which had control over creation but the greed formed over it doomed the rest of their race which is why they basically went extinct. The chaos war is meant to have essentially wiped the irda out and destroyed the race completely, save for any who may have been out wandering at the time. At the end of the series golgren is told that he is the first chance for his race's redemption in centuries and that with work maybe they can restore themselves - it is thus hinted that even the irda eventually failed due to their inner nature and the gods wanted to see the ogres redeem themselves on their own. You can see my entry on the lexicon as well as a picture of a high ogre I drew here: dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/High_Ogre
Came here to see if someone pointed out this comment - the minotaurs worship the evil god Sargonnas, and while they do hold a great deal of respect for the knights of Solamnia due to their well known code of honor and ferocity in battle, it's extremely unlikely for them to be in the company of said knights due to that fact alone. Unless something changed since the chaos war, aside from rare circumstances (Huma and Kaz, etc), most knights of Solamnia wouldn't want anything to do with a minotaur.
With recent DnD 5e published campaign setting and adventure for Dragonlance, I wonder if it is possible to play non traditional races that were brought by different settings, like genasi, warforged, tabaxi, tortle, etc. I know I could always homebrew their existence or say the PC of that races comes from different world. What I was wondering is, if there is a lore in Dragonlance Saga that could support existence of these kinds of races?
With the connection of Spelljammer in 2e and the reference in DLA in 1e about visitors from other worlds, it is absolutely possible in lore, though it is incredibly rare and they would be seen as alien. If magic is involved, there would also be the Orders of High Sorcery that would see them as renegades.
very nice content...i was always fascinated by dragonlance but did not know where to begin...its a very silly question but i usually have a love for tieflings in games and dnd. is there anything mentioned about tieflings in dragonlance or it is just a race that does not exist at all...ty in advance
@@DLSaga i think irda will do nicely than...i dont like to spoil the lore of games...irda looks very much like a tiefling variation but ty for taking time to answer
Why isn't the lore corrected to reflect Ionthus (my spelling might be off). It was revealed that he was the original mate to Takhisis. That Reorx actually trapped him, not Chaos.
I’ve only read the first book and, read a little about the draconians online but, if the dragons were made by the over god and not the evil or good gods then why are their breeds all ether good or evil.
The dragons were corrupted by Takhisis, and changed in to the Chromatic Dragons. Saddened by this, Paladine had Reorx create Metallic statues of dragons for him, in which, he breathed life, creating the Metallic Dragons.
Irda are a real challenge to play (almost impossible) due to their strict non-violence approach. They abhore violence and will only defend themself with physical combat if all other avenues failed. And even then, they will undergo a cleansing ritual afterwards to cleanse themself of the stench of having resorted to violence. Incredible powerful magic-users and shapeshifters, though, which makes them a challenge, yet rewarding to play. Minotaurs are the most fun to play. Favorite character I played was a Barbarian/Druid Minotaur multiclass in 3.5. Also he could not read, as barbarians are illaterate and my reason for him not learning reading and writing was, that when he trained as druid, his teachers _tried_ to teach him to read and write, but due to his low intelligence he could not understand it, and when pushed, went into rage until they finally gave up. Believe it or not, the disability actually saved his life once because when adventuring he came across some magical runes writen on the wall and shrugged them off as just gibberish he couldn't understand anyway, so he moved past them. When the next player reached to runes, he tried to read them and they exploded in his face :D
Are you gonna a video or videos for the Dragons of Krynn? And if I were to play the tabletop game or a video game based on Dragonlance? Probably would go for a human character. Yeah, I'm boring like that. Although I wouldn't mind trying to rp as a dragon, but I don't think this one let you do that?
@DragonLance Saga, Nice, I pretty much do the same if a video game gives you the option to pick your species. Cool, I'd like to see info on the alien dragon overlords too in a future video.
2:50 - Evil destroys; it doesn't create. The race of ogres were seduced by Takhisis, using the Sword of Tears, later used by Huma to slay Wyrmfather (Heroes, Vol.1). The ogres degenerated into their present forms, save for the Irda, who resisted the corruption, and the Nzunta, who cull any of their kind born with bestial ogre traits. 4:04 - _"No, lad, it was Morgion,"_ god of disease, decay, and entropy, not Hiddukel. This was confirmed in Tales, Vol 1, by the avatar of Reorx himself. 9:41 - Gully Dwarves first appeared in one of the AD&D monster manuals, intended for the Forgotten Realms, but were easily integrated into DragonLance for comic relief. They were indeed outcast by both dwarves and gnomes, but their life of squalor is due to their pathetically low intelligence, so low that a gully dwarf who can count and comprehend beyond the number three is considered a genius. Most evil races and nations won't even bother to enslave them, considering them too stupid for any kind of competent service. I'm still waiting on a full analysis from A.J. Pickett on the subject of gully dwarves. He seems reluctant to say the least. This is all from memory, by the way-- before the great retcon of 3e.
It's been a while since I've read the Dwarven Nations trilogy, but I seem to remember some gully dwarves remaining in Thorbardin, no? Or were they cast out afterwards?
Evil is finite. Infinity is neutrality & goodliness each even in a materialistic sense. Flora & fungi for example. Raw energy made material that is food & drink is ♾️ yet to be cultivated for the sake of others not to mention self. ⛈️
Thank you for watching this video about the races of Krynn. Are there any races you prefer to play? Did I leave any out that you want to learn more about? Leave a comment below!
my least fave race are the gnomes. They just messed with my verisimilitude. I like all the other races. As a kid my faves were the minotaurs.
Half Elves and "dark" elves would be ones I'd like to learn about more. The race I did enjoy playing in Dragonlance was the minotaur.
I will return to the topic!
Human. I had a player who played a Kender. She did a fantastic job, perfect roleplaying. I really have to commend the rest of the players ... they were SO tolerant and patient.
Dark elves.

Lol yea. Props to her for taking care of the real world while you all dove into fantasy! Perhaps she should play Fizban!
Ive been playing a Shadowdark rule set converted for Dragonlance and your videos are so valuable for me. The rules set is old school and the alignment system fits perfectly in the world.
That’s cool! I’ve got to look into it.
I didn't get dwarves until the DragonLance Dwarven Nation Trilogy. Now they're likely my favourite races.
That was a great supliment!

They are in the Races of Ansalon book I believe for D&D 3.5. I have them featured in the Draconians video.
Minotaurs of Krynn are the best. Better than the monstrous brutes of Toril.
Yea, I love the Roman Militant lifestyle they mimic.
I love Krynn's take on the minotaur. I use them, mostly unchanged, in my own game world.
Me too!
I freaking love your channel, and content. DL really deserves the special attention.
Thank you!
Agreed. A channel like this is a long time coming.

The elf with his hand on his chest looks super flamboyant.
I think all of Brom's elves are both gritty and flamboyant.

My pleasure. There is more to come!

Regionally, pronunciations vary, but if you ever have the opportunity, I would recommend playing the modules. Thank you for watching!
Definitely jiving with the minotaurs!
Nice! Brutal, but nice
Thanks for posting.
You’re very welcome.
I always got the impression of gully dwarves being 18”to 2’ tall but maybe that was just raistlins buddy.
Every race has variations and exceptions to appearances. It’s always tough when comparing novels to sourcebooks.
Well done and interesting video.
Thank you for watching!
Thabk you so much for your videos. I love them
I am glad you enjoy them. Thank you for watching!
Love your Chanel
Thank you for watching it!
These videos are all very useful for my upcoming Dragonlance game!
Glad I could help!
Cant wait for overviews of the prominent characters in this setting.
I’ll get there. I’m trying to lay the world grounding first.
@@DLSaga reviews/overviews of each novel would be great too.
From Taladas, Bakali (lizard men) and Ilquar goblins are player races.

Very true, lol
I love Dragon Lance and Krynn. I can't wait until the new novel comes out in August.

I love the story of the fall of the ogre
It is great, and what a change!

The lore, political pov, and cultural difference make Human the most interesting race to play in dragonlance in my opinion.

Why isn't the lore corrected to reflect Ionthus (my spelling might be off). It was revealed that he was the original mate to Takhisis. That Reorx actually trapped him, not Chaos.
The lore has changed so much depending on game supplements, and novels, I chose to start with the original lore from Dragonlance Adventures first.
I thought Gully Dwarves where the result of interbreeding Dwarves and Humans
What do you think about having an entire segment of a race slaves, outcasts and bums?
Was expecting to see a bit more detail about the main dwarven clans (Hylar, Daewar, Neidar, etc...), but great summary nonetheless.
This was the broad overview. I will make more detailed videos about dwarves.
