 Gripping for dear life, you steel yourself against the ravaging wind as you whip through the clouds. Your hands are tight around the golden feathers of the griffin beneath you, and the very sight of the beast takes your breath away, let alone it's speed. With a trilling roar - the mixed call of the griffin - you swoop into the clouds ahead, losing sight of the solid and safe ground below. With another call, you join in; the griffin's trilling roar and your shout of fear and delight soar through the air with the same courageousness and bravery as the risky flight itself. Rounding another bend, you come within sight of the place you seek, the floating citadel in the clouds... Paladine's Fortress: the Citadel of Solinari. The beauty of the glistening snow white spires of the magical citadel bring tears to your eyes - and yet you blame it on the rushing wind. Formed and maintained by the followers of the Gods of good, the Citadel of Solinari, also known as Paladine's Fortress, was created to help the people of Krynn - and so it shall. On a warm gust of air, the griffin comes to a stop on the steps of the Citadel entrance. A man, wearing the white robes of Solinari, stands there to greet you as you jump off the kindly griffin who then turns and begins to fly off into the magnificent sunset. "We were anticipating your arrival," the mage says kindly. "You may wander about the Citadel at your leisure. If you have any questions, just ask." With a smile, he walks off toward the Tower of Solinari, leaving you to decide your course.
