  • The Dwarvenhold Campaign Geography
    The Dwarvenhold Campaign Geography Domain Name: Deep Root This is the region of the underdark in which you live. It includes areas of dwarf, drow and deep gnome control. A domain is the equivalent of an island. City-State: DwarvenHold DwarvenHold is the name of the city-state of the mountain dwarves. It includes mines, giant caverns with conventional buildings, and dwellings built along caverns that dig deep into the surrounding area. Dwarvenhold feeds itself on miles of cavern-corrals, caves used for fungus cultivation. There are also multiple lakes stocked with cave fish. Dwarvenhold is formed in concentric circles. The innermost circle, called the Great Hall, is a giant cavern with conventional buildings. The center of the Great Hall is The Courtyard, a vast cavern where the king holds his audience. A giant stalactite lies in the center of the cavern and reaches nearly to the ceiling, hundreds of feet above. The stalactite has been hollowed out and used as the seat of power for the city-state. Many younger dwarves live in the Courtyard, preferring its new style of dwarven architecture and constant activity. Many of these dwarves live in apartments carved into the cavern walls. The apartments extend nearly a hundred feet up from the surface. Concentric circles of caverns extend out from The Courtyard. Those with wealth and power tend to live in inner circles, while outer circles are used for mining, poorer housing and military outposts. The farther away from The Great Hall, the more dangerous it is. There are well established routes, considered roads within the kingdom, as well as private caverns and routes that are off limits to those who don't belong.

  • Knights of Tahkisis
    Knights of Tahkisis Foreword by the Retyper This document was copied out of the last pages of The Second Generation; a collection of stories relating to the years following Test of the Twins. This document is in no way attempting to cause trouble for TSR (or Wizards of the Coast when they purchase the company) and is not intended to be seen as an alternative to the actual book. The stories in the book are a must read for anyone incorporating Knights of Takhisis in their game and I thoroughly recommend reading it before doing so. Everything from the next page onwards is copyrighted by TSR, so there is to be no editing, copying or claims of authoring this stuff. I have published this document to make it far more convenient, allowing quick access to information needed for a game. I hope you enjoy it…. Knights of Takhisis Dark Warriors Many readers who love the novels of the DRAGONLANCE® saga go on to live the adventure by playing Ansalonian characters in the ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® role-playing game. The following expansion of existing campaign rules provides players yet another option for their gaming. The Knights of Takhisis are a new nonplayer character (NPC) class in the DRAGONLANCE world of Ansalon. Nonexistent during the War of the Lance, these lawful evil knights were formed some twenty years after the downfall of Neraka, when the Queen of Darkness was banished back to the Abyss. The knights are an emerging and cohesive force of order and darkness in a world still reeling from years of war.

  • Boomstone Brass Assassin Charis Coral General Russo Inquisitor
    Boomstone Boomstone is a Thunder Golem redesigned around one of the new red magestone golem­brains. The addition created a Thunder Golem who is sentient­­or at least very nearly so. Boomstone has of course heard of Redgear Bowblade and his Steelhands, but he is quite happy blasting things to bits for his Atlantean friends, and sees no reason to stop doing so. Brass Assassin The Brass Assassin is a variation on the Impaling Golem designed for stealthy elimination of key targets. Select implantation of red magestone has increased the initiative shown by the construct, but has left it still far short of sentience. Charis Charis returned to the fold when the Apocalypse Dragon began its rampage, returning to Atlantis in an attempt to save the Empire he realized he still loved. Coral Although her father Dagon succumbed to the lure of the Apocalypse Cult, Coral has remained true to the Atlantean Empire. She is sometimes viewed with suspicion due to her father's frenzied loyalty to the forces of the Apocalypse, but her continued success as a treasure hunter and relic­finder keeps her in favor. General Russo Now that Rayden Marz has taken Prieska, General Russo has been called back to serve as General Volkare's second­in­command in the Imperial Legion. Russo sees the transfer as a demotion, but remains loyal to Jeet Nujarek's regime, determined to excel in his new position and demonstrate his worthiness for promotion once again. Inquisitor In order to ensure the continued loyalty of the Imperial Legion, Emperor Nujarek has embedded picked Inquisitors into each cohort of the Legion.
