You find yourself in the middle of a grassy plain, facing a large castle. The drawbridge is currently up, and the castle is surrounded by a moat, so there's no way to get in quite yet...

Suddenly, a shadow passes over you. You look up to see something... gold? And huge! You stand transfixed as a massive gold dragon slowly lowers itself to the earth beside you and can do little else but quiver as it slowly looks you over. It seems to nod, and turns its head...

"Glazius! Another one with an invitation!"

A figure clad in black armor leaps off the dragon's back and starts walking toward you. "I'm terribly sorry about the castle. I've just moved in, you see, and there's quite a bit of a mess inside. I am Glazius, son of Falconar, Knight of the Sword and servant of the Highfather. And this is my mount, Turalyon the Gold. He's a bit of a scare when you see him for the first time, isn't he?"

The dragon chuckles. "I do have this effect on people."

The knight smiles as well. "I'm sorry, but there's not much you can do here. When I've completed my castle, you'll be able to find out as much as you'd care to know about this wonderful world of ours. Krynn is its name, and I rather doubt that any place in all of creation is quite like it. Unfortunately..." he sighs... "what with the draconians running about, I've had precious little time to remodel. You'd best leave... Krynn has a disconcerting tendency to ensnare those not of its substance."

The knight re-mounts his dragon and the pair take off for points unknown. You ponder the knight's advice, and conclude that you should return to the Aerie...

The guardian daemon points you to other places...
