Solamnia’s War Against Magic and a Child’s Resistance The distrust of magic in the world of Krynn is clearly expressed in the ancient texts of Solamnus. According to the teachings of Vinus Solamnus, the practice of magic is inherently secretive, deceptive, and dishonorable.
Within the framework of these strict rules, magicians were forbidden from being accepted into knighthood, and all ties between the knightly order and wizards were severed. It is in such an environment of hatred and distrust that the story of a child born with a rare magical ability begins in the heart of Solamnia. The young wizard candidate is subjected to violence not only from society but also from those closest to him due to his talent.
While his father was punishing him to remove the magic inside him; The knights of Solamnia threaten him with imprisonment and exile. However, despite all the tragedies he has experienced and the injustices he has suffered, this boy does not give up his passion for magic. This character, who braves everything just for the love of magic, will change the course of history in the future. Huma and Magius: The Birth of an Impossible Friendship At a time when everyone turns their backs on him and oppresses him, this young wizard candidate has only one friend left: A young man who is training to be a knight.
This extraordinary friendship, which society and the knightly order could never understand, sows the seeds of one of the most important alliances in the history of the Dragonlance. The young man who is a candidate for a knight is none other than Huma; The wizard child will choose the name Magius for himself. Although on the distant shores of the River of Time, these two will become legendary heroes who will fight side by side to defeat the Dark Queen Takhisis, this novel takes us back to those pure and difficult days when it all began.
