Editing Graygem

The '''Graygem''' or '''Graystone''' is a powerful ancient artifact in the D&D setting of [[Dragonlance]]. It is said to be responsible for the creation of many different races and monsters via magical mutation.

The trickster god [[Hiddukel]] tricked the Dwarven god [[Reorx]] into forging the Graygem. It was then placed on the moon Lunitari for safekeeping, where it stayed until a [[Tinker Gnome]], in true gnomish fashion, invented a ''Self-Propelled Lunar Extension Ladder'', allowing him to climb up to the moon and steal the jewel. No really, we're not kidding. It has been stated across various [[splatbook]]s that the gnome actually built this device around a magical artifact given to him by [[Reorx]], so it has the magic doing the heavy lifting.

Unfortunately, the gnome lost his grip on the Graygem as he was climbing back down and the jewel fell down to Krynn, where it caused all sorts of mischief by radiating powerful chaos magic. This led to the creation of many, ''many'' different races, especially those that look like somebody fused two different species together... because that is ''exactly'' how they started. The Graygem is most well-known, however, for leading to the [[Tinker Gnome]]s to abandoning the mainland of Ansalon and to the transformation of about two thirds of the race into the [[Dwarf]] and [[Kender]] races.

After that, it vanished from history... until it reappeared some time after the Third Dragonlance War. That as when the gem was broken and Chaos, who is basically Krynn's [[Ao]], but an active dick, was released. He promptly tried to rip the world apart, forcing everybody to work together to beat him. Amazingly, Chaos is actually not as Mary Sue as Ao, so he genuinely lost the fight... not that it was easy!
