“…For in ages past, beyond memory and word, in the first blush of the world, Dragons terrible and great made war on this world of Krynn.”

For Dragonlance saga enthusiasts and AD&D game players everywhere, here is the latest information on the world shattered by dragons and their armies. The backgrounds for Knights of Solamnia, the wizards of High Sorcery, tinker gnomes, kender, and much more are detailed along with their AD&D game system rules. The struggle for the fate of Krynn awaits!

Margaret Weis writes: “DL Adventures expressed the DL team’s vision of the world, a vision we want to try to recreate with our work at Sovereign Press. I will state here, without apology, that DL Adventures will be taken as the foundation for all things Dragonlance with certain exceptions where applicable (such as the flawed time line).”
