D&D’s Dragonlance Campaign Setting Returns In Adventure Book & Battle Game
The world of Krynn needs heroes once more, as the Dragonlance campaign setting is returning to Dungeons & Dragons. The return of Dragonlance to D&Dwas recently hinted at in an Unearthed Arcana article, which featured playtest material for different races, backgrounds, and subclasses from the setting.
Dragonlance is set in the world of Krynn, which was once one of three main campaign worlds of D&D, alongside Oerth from Greyhawk and Faerun from the Forgotten Realms. The world of Krynn has gone through a lot of changes, but it started out as a planet that had been abandoned by its gods, resulting in an apocalyptic event, known as the Cataclysm. The evil goddess Takhisis (an aspect of Tiamat) returns to Krynn with an army of evil dragons in tow, to take over the world. The good and neutral gods return to the world to oppose her, beginning the conflict known as the War of the Lance. The Dragonlance setting is best known for its novels, which kicked off with the Dragons of Autumn Twilight in 1984, and are still going to this day, with Dragons of Deceit launching in August.
