Yeh I mean we learn some things about them (well I have so far) such as they're another one of these "righteous" races that are a bit of a paradox in that their fanaticism to be "good" makes them the enemy of the "evil" civs which is annoying because I've grown fond of playing as the Korath. They seem to be good at making money, good as spies and have a good ability to gang up with the other "good" races in sort of crusade like wars against the evil races. In the game Im playing at the moment they are acting as the "leader" of an alliance of "good" races including the Torians and Altarian resistance and all 3 seem determined to destroy the evil races, me (korath) the yor and they're all over the korx.

Anyways yeh I hope we get to learn more about them in GC3 like where exactly have they come from? why were they not a force in the galaxy before and during the events of DL? What exactly is their purpose? despite being a "good" race they seem sinister in nature. Are they actually in the campaign for DA?

[spoilers -- highlight text to read]
As menioned in the campaign epilogue, the Krynn are from another galaxy. In which case their colonies here are "diplomatic outposts", though their definition of diplomacy may well be the kind where the other side ends up dead... just have to wait and see.

Yeah, what about the Thalans?

ummm.... GC3?

Possibly I've played through quite a bit of the campaign up to the mission involving Drengi itself but I've not heard of them yet. You're right though maybe they have always been in the background..

"We know now that in the early years of the twentythird century this world (the whole galaxy in fact)was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's yup and even greater than the Thalans, and yet as mortal as his own. We know now that as human beings busied themselves about their various concerns Like the Drengin and Dread Lords for instance they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water."
