The gods of krynn directly influence the events of Krynn and at times the heroes and villains as well. Let’s find out who they truly are.

Intro

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and I am going to discuss the gods of Krynn with you. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to this channel, ring the bell, and you can further help this channel, and pick up Dragonlance Gaming materials, using my affiliate link in the description below. Dragonlance has a vast pantheon of 21 gods split evenly between good, neutral and evil alignments. The inhabitants of Krynn are not always aware of them, but they take great interest in the happenings of their children. Let’s discover the truth about the gods of Krynn.

Discussion

In the absence of the universe, dwelt the High God and Chaos. They are direct opposites in existence and intention. The high god strove to bring order to chaos and well chaos did what he’s named for. Together they created the universe itself on three pillars; Good, Evil and Neutrality. This great triangle defines everything within the universe, and the gods themselves exist within its order. 

Exactly where the gods came from is unknown, perhaps another sphere of existence, out of the beyond or from chaos itself, but we do know Paladine, Gilean and The Queen of Darkness are siblings and the children of the High God. The other gods existed with them as well. Each was aligned with one of the three children of the high god. They all worked in concert to bring order to the universe, in stark opposition to Chaos. 

Because this isn't a tale of creation, or a deep dive into The Age of Starbirth, I will pause retelling the myth there. Let us examine the gods of each pillar, but first let’s take a closer look at the High God, All-Father/Mother. It is a greater god of none, any or all genders. The high god either created or directed the other gods into the universe he created with Chaos. 

The gods of the Pillar of good built and dwell in the Dome of Creation, part of the Outer Planes. All of our knowledge about the gods of good is derived from the Disks of Mishakal. Paladine, The Celestial Paladin, or The Dragon’s Lord, helped create the five rulers of the world, dragons,  from the raw fury of chaos. He takes many forms, most notably as Fizban the fabulous, and gently nudges the inhabitants of Krynn to their destinies. He takes great care not to take control or remove their free will however. He is also known as Draco Paladin, Skyblade, Dragonlord, E’li, Thak the Hammer, Bah’Mut, the Great Dragon and Fizban His symbols are the silver triangle, pine tree and anvil. And his colors are silver and white. His alignment is Lawful Good. His portfolios are order, hope, light, rulership and guardianship.

Branchala, the bard king or Song of Life, he is Habbakuk’s companion and brings music and art into the world. His music is part of every living being's soul and evokes passion when heard directly. He is also known as Astarin, Astra, Bardilun, The Bard King, Bran, Estarin, Gardener, Song of Life and Songmaster. His symbols are the Bards Haro or silver flute. His colors are Yellow and Green. His Alignment is Chaotic Good and his portfolios are Music, poetry, and bards.

Habakkuk, The Fisher King is the son of Paladine and Mishakal and twin to Kiri-Jolith. Together with Paladine he and his twin helped form the Knights of Solumnia. Habbakuk created the order of the crown. He represents the eternal cycle of nature and can be fierce to evil and kind to good. He is also known as Abbuku the fisher, the blue phoenix,
