Introduction:

ENLIST IN THE WAR OF THE LANCE.

March to war against the Dragon Armies in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

Takhisis the Dragon Queen has returned to the world of Krynn. Across the land, her armies of fanatical draconians wage a brutal war of conquest. As the Dragon Armies march on the unprepared nation of Solamnia, only the defenders of the city of Kalaman stand in their way. But the Dragon Armies want more than just to crush their foes. An ancient evil in the Dragon Queen’s service seeks a magical weapon that could dominate Krynn for all time.

Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen is a tale of conflict and defiance set during the legendary War of the Lance. Create characters from Krynn, the world of the Dragonlance setting, then march them to the front lines of battle against the terrifying Dragon Armies.

Optionally, use the Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn board game to bring this adventure’s massive battles to your Dungeons & Dragons game.

This limited edition features an alternative art cover with a distinctive design and soft-touch finish, and is available exclusively in game stores.

Note: For use with the fifth edition Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual.

Features:

World at War: Introduces war as a genre of play to fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons.

Dragonlance: Introduces the Dragonlance setting with a focus on the War of the Lance and an overview of what players and DMs need to run adventures during this world spanning conflict.

Heroes of War: Provides character creation rules highlighting core elements of the Dragonlance setting, including the kender race and new backgrounds for the Knight of Solamnia and Mage of High Sorcery magic-users. Also introduces the Lunar Sorcery sorcerer subclass with new spells that bind your character to Krynn's three mystical moons and imbues you with lunar magic.

Villains: Pits heroes against the infamous death knight Lord Soth and his army of draconians.

The Legendary War Has Begun:

The Dragon Queen Takhisis—known as Tiamat on other worlds—was banished from Krynn over a thousand years ago.

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.

More Character Options:

Lunar Sorcery Subclass. Tie your sorcerer’s magic to Krynn’s three mystical moons, with special abilities that vary depending on the phase of the moon you currently embody—Full Moon, New Moon, or Crescent Moon.

Kender Race. Play as a kender, a character race known for their fearlessness and a fierce curiosity that drives many to adventure and some to amass an impressive collection of odd trinkets.

Feats & Backgrounds. Learn how war shapes your character with a selection of feats and two new backgrounds—whether it’s membership in the ancient organization known as the Mages of High Sorcery or the noble Knights of Solamnia.

Playing Dungeons & Dragons:

Become an Adventurer:

Adventurers come in all shapes and sizes. Find one that’s fun for you.

An elvish cleric, driven from society for trespassing on tradition. A dwarven paladin, atoning for an ignominious past. The Player’s Handbook provides the skeleton for your characters. Flesh them out however you choose.

Join the Party:

D&D brings people together and forges new friendships. Silly moments spawn inside jokes; moving battles leave treasured memories—whether in the heat of battle, embroiled in social intrigue, or solving clever puzzles, your party has your back.

Choose Your Own Path:

The woods are growing dark. Behind a mass of ivy, you see the stones of a crumbling castle. What do you do?

In D&D, your options are limitless. Because the Dungeon Master, as narrator of your tale, can improvise in reaction to any choice you make, what happens next is entirely flexible. Do you dare go on?

This book’s contents include the following:

Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen adventure for characters levels 1–11.

Introduces the Dragonlance setting to 5th edition D&D with a focus on the legendary War of the Lance.

Experience mass battlefield play with the option to enhance 6 encounters by playing connected scenarios in the Warriors of Krynn board game that alter the course of your adventure (board game sold in the Deluxe Edition).

Face off against the infamous death knight Lord Soth and his army of draconians.
