The Gods of Krynn
The gods came from the beyond out of chaos to create the universe during the Age of
Starbirth. It is believed the gods came from a different sphere of existence. The true
facts of what occurred during the Age of Starbirth are totally obscured by myths and
legends. Especially since the Cataclysm, when knowledge of the true gods was lost to
Krynn.
All the information on the gods was learned from the Disks of Mishakal, which were
discovered by the companions in the Xak Tsaroth ruins.
If one reads the Disks with devout intentions, he/she may become a true cleric. Clerics
wear a Medallion of Faith embossed with the symbol of their god. The Medallions magically
replicate themselves when a new cleric comes into being. The new Medallion shows the
symbol of the god the new cleric worships, regardless of the symbol on the original.
These are not the True names of the gods, only they know them. These names given here
are the common names used in the years following the War of the Lance. The list is by no
means complete.
There are twenty one known gods on Krynn, seven each of Good, Evil, and Neutral.
The gods are represented in the heavens by Constellations. Six Good, and six Evil. Six
gods of Neutrality make up the plants, and the remaining three gods make up the white,
black, and red moons of Krynn.
