After the founding of Margaret Weis Productions
In 2004, after Margaret Weis and Don Perrin divorced, Margaret Weis founded Margaret Weis Productions which used the Sovereign Stone system as the basis for the Cortex System and the Serenity RPG. The Sovereign Stone website was deleted at the end of July 2004. In early 2008 the rights to Dragonlance reverted to Wizards of the Coast with the final book in the line, Dragons of Spring, being produced in January 2008. The Sovereign Press website closed down at the end of 2008 with dragonlance.com not being updated after June 2009 and being taken down in early 2011.
