A Look Into The World Of Dragonlance
I have become aware that not many people have read Dragonlance and don't understand the terms coming from there that I have used in my story. For those, here is a look into Krynn.
Krynn is actually a continent of the world called Ansalon. It has many geographical areas in one super continent; think of Pangaea or however the heck you spell it, if you will. It has deserts, plains, forests, arctic areas, volcanic regions, I'm sure you get it by now. As you should know, Krynn is populated with mythical creatures and full of magic. From dragons to goblins you can find every mythical and magical creature there.
Now we go deeper. Krynn has 3 types of mages, who each serve a god or goddess. White Robes, as they're called, worship Paladine, the god of good and honor and specialize in healing and basic spells. Red Robes worship Gilean, the god of neutrality, and specialize in more advanced spells and good fighters when needed. Black Robes honor Queen Takhisis, the goddess of evil and cruelty and specialize in the most advanced and powerful spells. (This looks like it is going to be a long explanation.)
Moving on. There are two main types of dragons. Metallic: like Silver, Gold, Bronze, Brass, and Copper. Chromatic: like Red, Blue, Green, White, and Black. Those two are always enemies. The Chromatic honor Takhisis while the Metallic honor Paladine. This is also shown by whose knighthood the dragons join. Like the gods there are 3 different knighthoods that honor the gods/goddess of the armor color (easy way to remember is to think of the mages.).
I'll stop right here. If any are more confused, I apologize. I'll update the explanation very soon. Many were also asking about what Aka Ryu means. It means Red Dragon in Japanese, and since the story has red dragons I found the title fitting. Keep in mind I do not own Dragonlance or Rurouni Kenshin. Thank you and please R&R.
