{{
Prequel to the main ''[[Dragonlance]]'' novel series, focusing on the titular [[Knight Templar]] who brought about [[The End of the World
In the mighty Empire of Istar, the Kingpriest has had a vision of his own death, and a high priestess goes on a quest to find his successor, guided by a prohpecy. She finds [[The Messiah|Brother Beldyn]], a wise-beyond-his-years young monk with incredible supernatural healing powers and believes that he must be [[The Chosen One|the Lightbringer]]. Other events are afoot, however, including a plague that leaves the Empire on the brink of civil war, a young bandit named Cathan, whose destiny is bound with Beldyn's, and the [[Hidden Agenda Villain|mysterious]] [[Evil Sorcerer|sorcerer]] [[Magnificent Bastard|Fistandantilus]], who has a centuries-spanning [[Evil Plan]] of his own nearing fruition.
Line 7:
The books are:
* ''Chosen of the Gods''
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[A God Am I]]: {{spoiler|Both Fistandantilus and Beldinas himself pursue this in ''Sacred Fire''. Neither succeeds, but their actions set up much of the setting's future}}.
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Andras is a wierdly pathetic figure at the end, as is {{spoiler|Beldinas, if you count him as a villain}}.
* [[All the Myriad Ways]]: The short story "There Is Another Shore You Know, Upon the Other Side" (in the ''Dragons of Chaos'' collection) and [
* [[Big Bad]]: Fistandantilus
* [[Blank White Eyes]]: Cathan has these after {{spoiler|his resurrection.}} Most people find them ''very'' creepy- only Beldinas and wizards are able to meet his gaze for long.
* [[The Caligula]]: Beldinas, by the end, is ''completely'' insane. Somewhat subverted in that he still has the charisma to make everyone think he's still [[The Messiah]].
* [[Call a Smeerp
* [[Character Alignment]]:
** Cathan starts out [[True Neutral]] and becomes [[Lawful Good]]
Line 79 ⟶ 77:
* [[Smug Snake]]: Quarath and Kurnos.
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: Cathan is the main POV character, but this is really Beldyn/Beldinas's story.
* [[The End of the World
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Played straight, lampshaded, and deconstructed all at once in Tithian's first appearance.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Everybody. I mean ''everybody'' {{spoiler|even Fistandantilus himself}}.
