They sent Lord Soth as the final chance to stop the Kingpriest and avert the Catacylsm, and he failed.

* DisciplinesOfMagic: Being based off of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', the setting has the traditional arcane schools of White, Black, and Red magic, and said wizards become known respectively as White Robes, Black Robes, and Red Robes, each influenced by a different moon of Krynn's. There is also clerical (divine) magic derived from whatever god you're currently backing. There were other minor forms of magic, but the two that rose to prominence after the War of Souls were Wyld Magic (magic that was powerful but unpredictable) and Death Magic (magic gained with the help of dead souls gathering it up for the caster). The different Robes have been known to seek out and destroy wizards who are not one of the Robes.

* {{Hobbits}}: The Kender are basically your traditional ''D&D'' halflings, but defined by CuriousAsAMonkey tendencies combined with a [[FearlessFool pathological inability to feel fear]] and a [[StickyFingers naïve and innocently poor grasp of the concept of personal property]] - a stereotypical Kender will rifle through your bags and pick your pockets to stave off boredom and then be genuinely hurt and offended when you accuse them of being thieves. Canonically they are treated as a ''ChaoticGood'' race and their manic kleptomania is treated as almost childlike curiosity from a position of not knowing any better, which is why killing them is treated with the same moral gravity as [[WouldHurtAChild child murder]]. [[TheScrappy Saying "I'm going to roll a Kender!" is an insta-ban offence in many tabletop groups.]] After the world was [[HitSoHardTheCalendarFeltIt nearly destroyed by the Chaos War]], some Kender became "Afflicted"; effectively suffering from race-wide psychological trauma, they lost their immunity to fear and kleptomania and became sullen and paranoid [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness to a degree that seemed disturbing for other races]].

** The Test also doubles as a CurseThatCures, the curse being in this case death by failure. Often the Test will find a would-be wizard to be skilled but lacking in some way. The Test will let them live and the wizard will pass, but the Test will find a way (often traumatically) to remove whatever is keeping the applicant from being fully devoted to the study of magic. Justarius, the Master of the Conclave after the War of the Lance, was in his youth a very skilled athlete; his Test left his leg permanently crippled, so that he had to abandon that aspect of his life in favor of full magical study. Other examples include a charming dandy having his face deeply scarred, or a woman deeply desiring of starting a family being left barren. Anything the applicant might prioritize over the magic is fair game to be targeted.

* UltimateFinalExam: The Test given to aspiring High Sorcery wizards. In D&D terms, applicants are already 3rd or 4th level and are already have several spells, but the Test is the gatekeeper to any more advanced power. The Test determines whether the wizard has absolute commitment, skill, and responsibility to magic. If any of these qualities is found wanting, the most likely outcome is death; if the wizard is lucky, he'll live and the Test will wean out the lacking attribute (usually in extraordinarily painful and life-altering fashion).
