Just a quick question: I was considering purchasing the Age of Mortals book(and most likely will), but was curious as to if the information in it will be based solely upon the time period after the War of Souls? Will it also have background information on the period during the War of souls? And also the time after the Chaos War, with the Heroes of the Heart and such? Basically, is it a sourcebook for ALL of the 5th age, or mostly for the current time period after the war of souls?

Similarly, I was curious about the contents of the upcoming "Tales of the Lance"(Yes, I know it's possibly almost a year away, but that doesn't mean I can't get excited about it now). The period known as the War of the Lance remains one of my favourite times within the Dragonlance saga, however, I'm also quite fond of the idea of campaigns being run in the Blue Lady's War and the War of Chaos. So again, I would ask if anyone has any knowledge as to if this sourcebook will have information about all of the fourth age, or focus mostly upon the time of the companions?

Of course, even if these books are based upon only one of the wars within their age, they do sound like a must-buy. And the other time periods could possibly gain their own sourcebook(The War of Chaos in particular is fascinating to me and would probably have enough information to have an entire book dedicated to it), but I simply desired to know what they would contain before I made my purchase.

Thanks in advance.

The age of mortals covers both Pre and Post WoS, and has a lot of pertinant info for every age =)
The climate stuff and all the city data is useful for every dragonlance game.
