Beware the dire R.O.U.S.!

Something Reorx was piddling around with, I think.

Istar is long-dead, struck by the fiery mountain during the Cataclysm.

Agreed.

LOL!  Really, this is a gift of sorts.  Old Krynnspace (Reorxspace?) is 
ripe for development.  New Krynnspace is a myth for treasure-seekers.  
There's a campaign waiting to happen right there.  

And from a Dragonlance standpoint, Krynn remains separate from the other 
spheres, though it can be added back in with some tweaking.

Consider the Old West historically as well with ex-confederates making 
their way westward to find a new life outside of Union control (Firefly, 
anyone?), with Chinese (or another race of immigrant workers), and so 
forth.  

Okay, I think I'm all caught up.  This is some good stuff, guys.
