Seregon

Seregon is a fictional continent that serves as a primary setting in the Dragonlance novel series. It is a land of diverse geography and cultures, characterized by its vast plains, ancient forests, and towering mountain ranges. The continent is home to numerous races, including humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes, each with their own distinct societies and histories.

The history of Seregon is deeply intertwined with the ancient gods and the Cataclysm, a world-altering event that reshaped the continent centuries before the main Dragonlance saga. The Cataclysm is said to have been a divine punishment that broke the world and scattered its inhabitants. Evidence of this event can still be seen in the ruins and magical anomalies that dot the landscape.

Seregon is populated by various kingdoms and territories, often in a state of uneasy peace or open conflict. Major regions include Solamnia, a proud and martial land known for its knights; the elven forests of Qualinesti and Silvanesti; and the dwarven mountain holds. The political landscape is complex, with alliances shifting and ancient grudges simmering. The presence of dragons, both benevolent and malevolent, is a significant aspect of Seregon's lore and influences the lives of its inhabitants. The Dragon Highlords and their draconian armies were a major force for much of the early Dragonlance novels.

Magic is a potent force on Seregon, wielded by mages, clerics, and other spellcasters. The balance of magic is a recurring theme, particularly the absence and eventual return of the gods, which greatly impacted magical abilities. The continent's future is often depicted as uncertain, shaped by the ongoing struggles between good and evil, order and chaos.
