The Fall of Tarsis
The Cataclysm & The War of the Lance
The current year for our homebrewed Dragonlance campaign is set during 381AC.
Inspired By Trampas Whiteman

- You step through the portal and appear to be on a high clifftop. Not far away is what seems to be a ruined outpost of sorts.
- You can hear (off in the distance) sounds of mass combat, yelling, screaming.

As they go to investigate Tarsis . . .

- You approach the edge of this mountainside and see that the cliff-face drops off several hundred feet. You can see heavy smoke streaming into the sky as you approach the edge.
- Looking down, (roll DC16) Tarsis. It's on fire, thousands of soldiers have already stormed inside the city gates
- You can see movement, lots of movement within the city walls.
- Tarsis is under siege
- Flying above the city itself, you see multiple large white dragons (10-12 of them) with dark riders on the backs of each
- On the far side of Tarsis in the distance, you can see a citadel of sorts, that appears to be made of ice hovering far above the ground slowly approaching the city

What disturbes you the most is not far behind the floating citidel is what appears to be the Icewall Glacier. This glacier "should" be over 150 miles (or 240 kilometers) south of here but now it seems as if it is only a short distance south of Tarsis.

How did the glacier come this far north?
Is it moving on its own?
Is it being moved by magic?
You have no answers.

[Not much they can do here, RP it out if they try and sneak in to rescue people but several thousand troops are here and this could go south real fast]
