DRAGONLANCE! Actually, the Name of the World Is Krynn
Another world, another adventure. Another reality to explore, a thrilling new … library? A library, complete with the faintly musty smell of old tomes. Long tall stacks of books, scrolls, and tablets run the length of the chamber you find yourself in. Seated at a desk near the back of the chamber is a lone figure. He scratches away with quill and ink on a scroll, pausing only to wet his quill in a small inkpot and look into a crystal globe located to his left. “Astinus of Palanthas, Master of the Library of Palanthas and Historian of Krynn. He keeps a record of everything that happens here. Everything of note, at least. Most people think he’s immortal or some kind of god. No one seems to know for certain, though.” No one? Your Benefactor smiles one of those little smiles you’ve become so familiar with. “Well, maybe not no one. Maybe you’ll figure it out and tell me all about it?” Seemingly bored with that train of thought, your Benefactor turns away from you and runs their hands along the stacks. “So here we are: DRAGONLANCE! Actually, the name of the world is Krynn. Dragonlance is the title given to the intellectual property created, ‘created,’ by Margret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. So, if you’d like to take a minute to read up on what this place is about, now’s the time and here’s the place to do it. Or I can just give you the Chain’s Notes. Get it? Chain’s Notes? It’s like Cliff’s Notes, but … never mind.” “In the beginning was The High God and from the Beyond he called forth Paladine, Gilean and Takhisis, good, neutral and evil gods respectively. -

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. -

A PDF version is available from www.paizo.com Created: 1/26/09 Updated: 1/26/09 Chapter 1: Background and Storyline A Note about the Religions of the Durpari and the Raurindi The Raurindi follow a multitude of gods and goddesses. Since most of the Raurindi have been scattered and exist now as slaves or Dervishes, their clerics follow an ethos of protection of holy sites and vengeance to those who despoil them rather than any particular god or goddess. The Durpari, on the other hand, are monotheistic, following the god Anu. Despite this, the Durpari and Raurindi are similar in alignment and basic ethos, separated only by their inflexible views of monotheism versus polytheism. The other major religion in the desert is the worship of Set, which is proscribed and reviled by Durpari and most Dervishes. Some Dervishes see worship of Set as their only weapon against the Durpari, but they are the minority.

The Master of Ravenloft Is Having Guests for Dinner . . . and You Are Invited
The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner . and you are invited. A dark shape emerges from the shadow of Castle Ravenloft. A fl ash of lightning reveals the sneering countenance of Count Strahd von Zarovich. His eyes burn with eternal hunger and contempt for life. From a narrow balcony, he peers out into the drizzling twilight at the few sad lights of the village below and mutters a single name: “Ireena . .” The Expedition to Castle Ravenloft campaign adventure updates the original 1st Edition Ravenloft® module, retaining the Gothic fl avor and familiar elements while expanding and reimagining some of the locations to create a deeper, richer adventure experience. This campaign adventure is designed for characters of levels 6–10 and features a new, easy-to-use combat encounter format.
