FOREWORD
Fitting it is that the many years of creative work on
the DRAGONLANCER saga should come to a provisory
culmination with this collection of short stories, the most
pleasing and powerful yet. Some of the writers represented
in this volume are veterans of TALES 1 and 2, and certain of
them will continue to write about the world of Krynn in an
exciting series of DRAGONLANCE novels in the
immediate future.
"A Good Knights Tale" by Harold Bakst suitably begins
this volume that has love and war as its theme. Told by a
Knight of Solamnia, it is a tale that involves both love and
war - the warring of passions of a selfish father's heart.
Love is painted in a more tender aspect in "A Painter's
Vision," by Barbara Siegel and Scott Siegel, but then what
can you expect when a dragon gets himself involved?
The story of love as sacrifice is recounted, along with
the tale of the undead who haunt Darken Wood, in another
of Nick O'Donohoe's revisionist interpretations of a portion
of DRAGONS OF AUTUMN TWILIGHT.
"Hide and Go Seek" by Nancy Berberick is the story of
the love friends bear each other as Tasslehoff risks his life
to save that of a kidnapped child.
"By the Measure" recounts the courage of a Knight of
Solamnia fighting impossible odds. Written by Richard A.
Knaak, this is the haunting story of a young knight's
courage and devotion to his Order.
The adventures of a very young Sturm are recorded in
"The Exiles" by Paul Thompson and Tonya Carter. The boy
learns his first lessons in courage, facing an evil cleric of
the Dark Queen.
A lighter moment is presented in "Heart of Goldmoon" by
Laura Hickman and Kate Novak. A tale of romance and
adventure, it tells of the first meeting of Riverwind and
Goldmoon and how the Que-shu princess came to learn of
the existence of the true gods.
Continuing in the romantic vein, "Raistlin's Daughter"
written by myself and Dezra Despain, relays a strange
legend currently circulating in Krynn. It will end, for the
