| Oct 11, 2014 at 12:50 | comment | added | BBlake | @Deion - Your recollection is correct. It required both evil priests and black robe wizards to corrupt and hatch the dragon eggs into Draconian soldiers. | |
| Oct 10, 2014 at 20:47 | comment | added | Ender | specifically she took advantage of the rest of the gods stubbornness to sieze control of the situation while they were almost literally doing nothing, creating the situation stated: she had an established foundation of strength before the rest of the gods even got involved | |
| Oct 10, 2014 at 20:45 | comment | added | Ender | well as @BBlake said the gods could have revealed their faith to someone anytime they wanted to, but they were waiting for someone to prove they wanted it properly. Takhisis exercised her perogative to take initiative. | |
| Oct 10, 2014 at 19:23 | comment | added | Kreann | @Ender, well I was hopen someone could elaborate about how it applies to evil priests, since a guy caller Aryakas had already taken over half Ansalon, under the guidance of Takhisis by the time the Companios discovered the Disks. IIRC, priest are needed in order to hatch good dragons eggs into draconians. | |

| Oct 10, 2014 at 17:06 | comment | added | BBlake | I think the disks were required because no one left alive still believed in the truth about the gods. They all believed the gods were gone, or dead, or whatever. Only rumors and stories remained. The true, correct belief system no longer existed on Krynn. In order to restore that faith, someone needed to have a record which detailed the "true" faith. Of course, the gods could have just re-revealed that faith to someone, but I would guess they wanted someone to prove that they really wanted the truth first. | |

| Oct 10, 2014 at 14:12 | comment | added | Kreann | @BBlake, probably you are right. I'll have to do more research on why the Disks of Mishakal had to be discovered in order or the True God to say "OK, before no, but now lets start granting spell-like favors to the people who request them". And again, with the evils gods having their own agenda, so they might have been granting favors even before that? | |
| Oct 10, 2014 at 12:52 | comment | added | BBlake | IIRC, the Medallions have nothing to do with the ability of clerics to cast spells in the books. As I recall, when the cleric obtains the ability to cast spells, a Medallion is given to them by some divine means. It's more of symbol of having obtained the faith necessary to cast spells granted by their deity. But it's been a long time since I've read them all. | |
| Oct 10, 2014 at 12:00 | comment | added | Kreann | @dai, well, I'm not sure about the relationship of the Medallions with the Disks. Why had the Disks to be rediscovered in order for the True Gods to grant spells again? Did this apply to evil priests, since Takhisis had her own agenda? | |
| Oct 10, 2014 at 7:33 | comment | added | Dai | From the Cataclysm up until Goldmoon rediscovered the Disks of Mishakal was a time when priests/clerics did not have access to divine magic. This was part of the punishment (im unsure if it was a byproduct of the cataclysm, been years since I read the series) by the gods that began with the Cataclysm when Istar (Ishtar?) and its kingpriest was destroyed with the fiery mountain. Priests access divine magic through their faith in a certain god/ess and a medallion isn't needed for this (but I belive the medallion is gifted to the cleric from his/her god, I might be wrong on that) | |
