\n" + "Achania (Ah-cha'-nee-ah) is an unpublished home-brew setting based on Joy's massive amount of writing\n" + "and years of role-play.\n" + "One way to think of Achania is that it is almost a sister-world to Krynn of the Dragonlance setting.\n" + "After the end of the Chaos War on Krynn, the Gods were without a world. Did they sit on their\n" + "backsides and mope? Did they only try looking for Krynn? Or did they go to other places?
\n" + "
\n" + "Included in the setting of Achania is the thought maybe the three moons tried to rebuild their\n" + "Orders of magic on a different world, away from the other Krynnish gods. Also included is the concept\n" + "that maybe they tried to do things differently. Instead of a single Wizards' Conclave of 21, \n" + "what if they had a Mages' Council of nine per each of the four Towers they discovered on this\n" + "world. (And there is a reason why 'Towers' is capitalized.)
\n" + "
\n" + "In the end, things didn't turn out too well. In fact saying it went badly would had been the understatement\n" + "of the century. It also gave a much harsher meaning to Lunitari's words to Dalamar in 'Dragons\n" + "of a Vanished Moon' on the subject of losing everything.
\n" + "
\n" + "\"Perhaps, we understand better than you think.\"
\n" + "
\n" + "If a lot of the setting of Dragonlance is about how lost and ancient mysteries can be rediscovered and brought anew,\n" + "then Achania is about how most old and ancient secrets are best left buried and forgotten.\n" + "

\n" + "'Dragons of a Vanished Moon' by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman and 'Dragonlance'\n" + "are copyright by Wizards of the Coast.
\n" + "
\n" + "'Achania' is an unofficial fan setting using some of the 'Dragonlance' elements. Its existence is not recognized in\n" + "ANY official capacity.\n" + "
\n" + "

\n" + "
\n" + "Update: We are currently working at removing the Dragonlance-specific elements from our Achania notes\n" + "and are designing Achania to be a stand-alone setting. Hopefully in the end there may be a few elements\n" + "inspired by the setting but nothing infringing on copyright or ownership. Progress may be noted\n" + "in the future.\n" + "
