Nov 23, 2003 14:17:13 When Takhisis moved Krynn to it's new place in the heavens the three moons of magic disappeared. There was a new sun and also a new moon to coincide with Krynn's new address. With the return of the gods the three moons of magic have reappeared. So what happened to the moon that was there during the fifth age? Is it still there, or did the gods of magic remove it?

It's gone! It was, by all accounts, the place where Takhisis had trapped all of the metallic dragons after the Storm, and served as her window onto Krynn also (it was an enormous eye during the ceremony at Sanction that involved the super-skull totem).

In the end of DoaVM, it is said that there are now three moons over Krynn. Just three.

Hence, Dragons of a Vanished Moon.

Nov 24, 2003 3:41:48 Judging from the name of the book, the moon simply vanished. Now there is a moon and "POOF!" now there isn't. Simple.

Nov 24, 2003 6:32:11 Hmmm maybe it is behind Nuitari... the black moon might cover it hole so you can´t see it... well it was a theory... i don´t believe in it my self but it is a possibility....

Nov 24, 2003 8:21:33 How did the moon vanish? Was Krynn moved back to the original position where the Dark Queen stole it... or did it remain where the DQ placed it after its theft?

So, did Krynn move back to where the moons were? Or did the 3 moons move to the new position of Krynn?

Nov 24, 2003 8:38:27 I always imagine it as the eye of Takhisis.
if she not ther nemore, then the eye is gone too :P

Nov 24, 2003 9:08:41 Krynn stayed where it was, the moons moved, and the gods adopted new stars and planets.

I don't think the New Eye could be hidden behind Nuitari, as Nuitari is the smallest moon, and the New Eye was pretty big.

I still say it just vanished. It ceased to exist/was destroyed when Tak bit the dust.

Nov 24, 2003 9:30:14 Or maybe when the three moons were moved to the new location, the new moon was taken to the old location.

Nov 24, 2003 11:29:00 When it said that there were three moons in orbit, who said it? Most people can't see the third one. Equally, though, I still believe it to be gone; Takhisis dead, DoaVanished Moon, the rescued the dragons, etc.

I wonder where it went?

Nov 24, 2003 19:21:07 The New Eye was the size of Earth's Moon, IIRC, so thatmakes it bigger than Lunitari by a little, and smaller than Solinari. To make an Eye, Nuitari has to be smaller than Lunitari, wich has to be smaller than Solinari or the Eye gets all muddled and miscolored. Thus, the New Eye could not hide behind Nuitari.

(The order does go N-L-S, from closest to farthest, right?)

Nov 28, 2003 4:13:33 Here are some thoughts.

1) That the moon exploded, and formed into the three moons. With a bit of magic, Tak's moon might have altered in colour and increased in size, change in shape into the three moons.

2) That the moon exploded into nothingness, forming a gate for the three gods to pull their moons from their old locations to Krynn.

As an added extra, there could have been a small meteorite storm, and shards of moonstones could have fallen onto Krynn. Each of these shards have some of Tak's essence, and it is said that whoever collects all the shards can raise Tak back.

Nov 28, 2003 18:22:38 That is an interesting idea for a DL campaign stunspore but it would take years to collect all the shards would'nt. And of course you would need alot of room for the shards.

Nov 28, 2003 19:47:28 a Wizard could create a magic box to keep the moon shards and it should be a work of lots of parties throughout krynn

zombiegleemax
Nov 29, 2003 12:32:35 Of course, you could just have a campaign that takes place a lot later on than straight after the War of Souls, and some big bad has been collecting shards since the get go.

Phew! I have an excuse for the lich not to annihilate my players! Hmm... get them to collect shards for him? I'm a big fan of the Hat of disguise... actually, any magic hat, but that's the one I'm most likely to come across, due to the cheapness of it's expense.

Muahahaha... if they ever identify the (used) oils of timelessness, they might even work out why the lich didn't look all rotten... Now... I have to make some food... And stop using three dots... Arg... There I go again... Stop it! Ha, got you.

I'm thinking about monkeys again.

Nov 29, 2003 14:26:03 Maybe the Gods returned Krynn to it's original place? The three moons are not the only only celestrial objects that have returned. The old stars and planets returned as well and if Thakisis could move the world within the blink of an eye why shouldn't the other gods be able to do the same and put it back where it belonged?

Not all of stars are the same as before, and the sun is still the new one. And I think it was pretty clearly said that it was the moons that were moved.

Nov 29, 2003 15:26:34 Takhisis plotted the big move for decades at least pooling her energy. She then harnassed the power of Chaos' destruction and funneled it into the transfer. Even using all of that energy, Tak was so weakened by the transfer that she spent decades in a completely formless powerless state.

Not that easy.

I agree, it would be very difficult, but I think that all the gods and all the dragons could do it, if they helped eachother.

But 0again there is no point to moving krynn as I see it.
Since chaos has been beating/banished/destroyed???
Krynn is not bound by anything to it's former position.
And since the void is infinity, why move. The river of times floves on. Only now position becomes a part of history.
