The Legendary War Has Begun

Summoning forth the infamous death knight Lord Soth and vast Dragon Armies to fight for her dominion, she has finally set her plot to return into motion.

In the War of the Lance, no choice is easy and the actions of heroes can have world-altering consequences.

Epic Battlefield Encounters

Enter the Fray of Battle. This book introduces a way to create encounters that simulate the dangers of fighting on a battlefield. A deadly region of difficult terrain called “the Fray” surrounds these battlemaps, representing the chaotic clash of combatants, slinging of deadly spells, and other perils that vary from battle to battle.

Connected Board Game Scenarios. Six of the adventure’s dramatic battles can be enhanced even further by playing out connected scenarios in the Warriors of Krynn board game (available in the Deluxe Edition)—earning rewards and further shaping the story of the war.
