{{Tsrwotc}}'''Ansalon''' is a continent on [[Krynn]], the [[fictional world]] of the [[Dragonlance]] setting.

Before the [[Cataclysm (Dragonlance)|Cataclysm]], an event precipitated by the [[Kingpriest of Istar]], Ansalon was a solid land mass. Great plains ran from [[List of Dragonlance locations#Silvanesti|Silvanesti]] and [[List of Dragonlance locations#Balifor|Balifor]] in the east to [[List of Dragonlance locations#Ergoth|Ergoth]] in the west. In addition, the [[List of Dragonlance locations#Blood Sea of Istar|Blood Sea]] used to be fertile lands, which were farmed and which made the now decimated city of [[List of Dragonlance locations#Istar|Istar]] prosperous.

The Cataclysm changed everything. When the fiery mountain struck Krynn, it created the [[Blood Sea]], separating the [[List of Dragonlance locations#Blood Sea Isles|Minotaur Isles]] from the rest of the continent and plunging the plains of Istar far beneath the waves. The northern peninsula, near [[List of Dragonlance locations#Kalaman|Kalaman]], was forced up from the bottom of the ocean. Ergoth split into two separate isles, and the southern Ergothian and Solamnic plains became the New Sea.

Ansalon is home to many races, including [[elves]], humans[[human]]s, ogres[[ogre]]s, dragons[[dragon]]s, draconians[[draconian]]s, [[dwarves], and many others. For more information go to [[List of Dragonlance creatures]]. ==Sources==*{{Cite_Pub|Dragonlance Campaign Setting}}
