Here you hold as much of Krynn as can be told in one book. The world of the DRAGONLANCE® saga is a vast and complex one. This book alone cannot hope to cover all of the wonder and magic of that fabled land, We have compressed as much information as we could into this volume, but it still proved to be too large a task To fully recreate the world of Krynn, we recommend that you read more about this world—the DRAGONLANCE modules, the Chronicles trilogy, the Legends trilogy, and the anthology series of DRAGONLANCE Tales. These not only give you a comprehensive picture of the world and its inhabitants, but they also provide rich descriptions with which to color your campaign. For more detailed maps of Krynn and many of its specific environments, we direct you to Karen Fonstad’s Atlas of Krynn. ‘You can certainly enjoy this book without playing the game...but what a game it is! Those of you who ate playing the DRAGONLANCE series in the AD&D® game system will, as usual, need those rule books to play the seties a te epic role-playing game that iis. We hae ried ro avoid cluplicating material that is found in those other wotks o 25 to make room for all the detail of Krynn that we possibly can. This means for you gamers that you will need to refer to other AD&D books from time to time. We assume that you have the Dungeon Master’s Guide and the Player's Handbook in order to play the game. Other works, however, you may not have, such as the Dungeoneer’s Survival Guide, Wilderness Survival ‘Guslde, ond Unearthed Asean. We bave sande txcostee uae of thew reference books in detailing the world of the DRAGONLANCE saga. However if you do nat happen to have thes latter works you should not worry. The series should play just fine with just your Dungeon Master's Guide and Player's Handbook. This book is written in a different format than the other AD&D hardback books. The material that is specifically related to the AD&D game sytem or co running 2 DRAGONLANCE campaign is placed in grey »xes throughout the text. This means that the text is easier to read and the game references are readily available. ‘You, in all your letters, have beckoned us back to the world of Tanis, Laurana, Kitiara, Raistlin and all the rest.

Of those classes that are common to many different universes, the following are posible for you in your sojourn in Krynn, These are types that are truly universal, Also listed are those types that are unique to the realms of Krynn—these appear in italic type Clerics (heathen): Clerics who worship gods other than the True Gods are considered he world of Krynn.

They also lose their powers upon coming to Kryna, Holy Orders ofthe Stes: This ite refers to the three general categories of clerics that serve the gods of this universe. These follow the lines of Good, Evil, o Newtelity, Within these thie divisions are found the clerics and orders ofeach of the gods individually. Each forder does service to its god and gains its powets dependent upon the spheres of influ fence which that god holds. As there are six separate gods in each of these divisions (not counting the gods of magic), there ate no fewer than 18 separate True Gods who main Se ——— tain a variety of orders each. Each has its ow power and sphere of influence that deter imines the powers that its priest have, Fighters: Those of might and_ weapons. “These do battle for others or for their own pur- poses Barbarians: Savages of the wilds.

They gc come from Nordmaar regions as well as plains ateas aboue Tarsis and Abanasinia, Cavaliers: Noble Knights of kingdoms, These are always found in service of individual kingdoms and may be considered candidates, for the Knights of Solamnia Paladins: Knights in the cause of good.

A candidate for the Order of the Sword must first have avtained cerain fame as a Knight of the ‘Crown in order 10 be accepted. A candidate for Knight of the Rose must have done like- site as a Knigh: of the Sword before being ‘accepted. These Knights and thei Orders of Honor have been alternately praised and reviled throughout history. They maintained a steadfast code of honor and enforced it with both might and justice throughout ther long history. Magic-Users (tenegade): There are those magicusers who attempt 10 utilize cheit powers oulside the moderating influence of the Orders of High Sorcery. Those who do are called magic-usets by the common folk but ate referred to as renegade wizards by those of the Order of High Sorcery. These are earnestly hunted down by the order to entice them «0 join the order of destroy them if they refuse. Renegade wizards have a shot life expectancy on Key usionists (renegade): Renegade illusion ists are those whose powers lie outside the spheres of the dhree moons (sec page 27). They are treated the same way as renegade magic-users, Wizards of High Sorcery: There are hice types of High Sorcery Wizards: White Robe wizards, Red Robe wiestds, and Black Robe wizards. They contol all magic on Kiya. Thieves (Handlers): Here isa fellow who will steal fom anyone. In most Krynn soei- ties, this type of behavior is not only con- demned but punished severely. The only ‘exceptions to this role are the kender. These diminutive people, while embodying the traits and abiltis of thieves, call themselves “handlers” since the term thief denotes one who steals for gain. Handlers, on the othe thand, do not steal for personal gain, but sim- ply out of an outrageous curiosity abous every thing and everyone at all times.

However Solamnas. a true and ‘honorable man, found that the rebellion was ‘well justified. Solamnus called his oops ‘together and presented the case of the people Any knights who believed in the cause of the rebels were entreated to stay. Those who did ‘not wete given leave to return to Daltigoth Even though his men knew that doing so ‘meant exile and possibly death, most chose to stay with Solamnus, ‘Thus began the War of Ice Tears.

The grateful people of that region chose Vinas a, their king and named their new countey Solamnia in his honor. Although it never red any great power during the rest of that Age, Solamnia became synonymous wi ‘honesty. integrity. and fierce determination ‘Vinas knew that those who followed! him as rulers of Solamnia might not be as honorable as he. Thus he organized the Knights of Solamaia, ‘The ale of their origins is bound up in the story of the Quest of Hoaor that rells of Vinas Solamaus's journey in search of true honor ‘The story went something along these Hines In the year 1223 PC, following his coronation asthe king of Solamnia, Vinas Solamnus was beseeched. by the Lords of the Northera Reaches. They had recently broken from the tyranay of Ergoth and now looked to Solam- ‘us to unite them. Solamnus ould not see hhow this could be done ia the light of theit conflicting ideals and customs. So it was that hae set off on a quest 0 find the answer to his dilemma. He left the united kingdoms ia the hhands of his Lieutenants and journeyed into the wild. ‘After many weeks of searching and tal, he ‘ame at last to Sancrs Isle. Thete in tha wild place he found a glade and offered supplica tion tothe gods on a black granite stone inthe center of the clearing.

"The Knighthood is ruled by the Lord of Knights. This postion, however, has been lei ‘vacant since the time of the Catacysm due primarily to the difficulties in calling 1 Grand Circle of Knights together in sufficient num. bers to elect a Knight from cligible candi dates. With the reeseablishment of order throughout the continent of Ansalon, the day ‘of appointment will scan be at hand. The position must be filed by one of the High Knights: either the High Wartior, the High ‘Clenst or the High Justice.

The Oath is simply: "Est Sularus och Mithas” (literally, “My Honor is My Life”). ‘The Measure is an extensive set of laws many volumes in length, that defines what honor actually means. The Measure iscompli- cated and exacting; only a bret summary of laws are given here. Iti important to remem- ber that exact and unquestioned adherence to the law isthe goal ofthe Knight. The greatest problem facing the Knights atthe time of the War of the Lance was that the spirit of the (Oath had left them. Only the rigid. unbend. ing shell of the Measure remained. The Knights learned that honor does not lie in the aged and dusty codes of the Measure, but in the heart of the ue Knight. Though this les- ‘son was hard and costly and learned only slow- ly, ic eventually promises to make the Knighthood a shining example and power in the wotld again ‘The Oath and the Measure were compiled from the writings of Vinas Solamaus and his ‘successors.

Count it 36 one complexity level for every two hit dice of levels of the target creature. Restraining an 8-hit die creature is 2 Complexity 4 task © Docs it move something or itself?

This reflecs the [gnomish philosophy of engineering.
