Laurana and Tas use the dragon orb and dragonlances to defeat the dragon armies. Laurana and Kitiara meet. It does not go well. Alhana also learns of the death of Sturm.

Intro/Outro music: Winter Night by Alexander Nakarada

While the Sturm and Derek’s feud comes to a boiling point, Tas explores the bizarre architecture of the High Clerist’s Tower. What are all these rooms and gates? Why was it built this way? What secret lies at its long neglected heart? Rest assured Tas will find out! Derek makes a bold claim and an even bolder action. Sturm abandons the Measure. The Knights, minus Sturm and his men, venture forth to confront the dragonarmies, with Derek confident of his victory and glory. Sturm urges Laurana to take others and flee. The knights are doomed if they do not get support from Palanthas or some other place. Laurana refuses, her place is with her friends here. Tas reveals what he found in the tower, Laurana thinks it might just save them all. This knowledge comes too late to save Derek and the knights who took to the field.

Intro/Outro music: Winter Night by Alexander Nakarada

Tanis and Kitiara get close, real close, and catch up. Kitiara spills the beans on Takhisis’ goals and urges Tanis to join her in fulfilling them. Tanis disappoints everyone with his decision. Meanwhile, Sturm’s elevation to full knighthood drives Derek Crownguard insane and completely shatters whatever semblance of unity the Knights of Solamnia at the High Clerist’s Tower had. This makes an already bad situation worse as the Knights aren’t really wanted by anyone in Palanthas. Laurana has brought the dragonlances to the Knights but most of the soldiers and knights don’t think they’ll be of any use, as they’re badly outnumbered and low on food. The Dragon army surrounding the tower seems content to starve the knights out…

Podcast Summary - After the events of the Whitestone Council, Laurana and friends try to decide what their next steps are. Laurana would prefer not to lead but her commitment to her friends overcomes any desires she has to find Tanis. We learn her testimony has cleared Sturm and he will become instituted as a full knight. Laurana will travel to Palanthas to relay this information directly to him and advanced Lord Gunther's plans. Fizban provides some final guidance to Tas. Elistan meets his maker? On the other side of the world Tanis and Caramon steal some enemy uniforms in order to secure passage for them and the rest of the Companions out of Flotsam. Then, while trying to purchase supplies for their sea voyage Tanis is nearly killed by a grief-crazed elf. Only to be rescued by a Dragonlord, who just so happens to be a dear old friend?!

Shivam provides all the info one could ever want on gnomes and their place, not only in Krynn and D&D, but in the fantasy genre. Fizban and Tasslehoff experience the wonders of Mt. Nevermind, with special attention being given to innermountain transportation. The reader is introduced to Gnosh, the gnome in charge of investigating the dragon orb, and a bit about Gnomish culture. Fizban uses the orb and delivers ominous news. The Council of Whitestone, where the good people of Krynn have gathered to organize their defense against the threat of Takhisis, immediately breaks down into bickering. Tas takes things into his own hands, and right as all hope seems lost some old friends bring good news and a titular object!

Raistlin wrestles with the Dragon Orb and perhaps wins out. Caramon wrestles with his feelings for Tika and she definitely loses out. We learn that the twins both lost out when Raistlin took the Test of High Sorcery.  Lord Gunther of Solamnia is visited by Fizban and Tas. We learn a great deal about Gnomes their relationship with the Knights of Solamnia. Most important for this story though is that we learn knights have handed the dragon orb over to the the gnomes for study?!

Intro/Outro music: Winter Night by Alexander Nakarada

We are reunited with Tanis, Raistlin and the rest of the Companions who we last saw leaving Silvanesti. We meet up with them in Port Balifor tired and road weary. Raistlin’s sleight-of-hand and magic ensures they eat and lodge for free. It also becomes the means by which the Companions raise enough funds to travel safely to Flotsam and book passage on a ship to Sancrist. We are also reunited with Sturm, who has not been as lucky as Tanis and Company. Instead, he is put on trial by accusations from Derek, and while he escapes with his life and a chance to save it, he is stripped of his father’s armor. Oh, and made third in command of the Silmarian Army…?

Silvara, under increasing suspicion, leads Laurana’s group deeper into the mountains of Southern Ergoth. Their goal? The secret vale of Foghaven, known only to Silvara’s people. The party arrives there under the light of Luminari to this fog laden valley. To reach their destination the party must cross a strange, massive bridge over boiling hot springs. When they finally do, Silvara leads them to Huma’s tomb resting under the shadow of a giant dragon carved into a mountain!? Just as some of the party come to startling realizations they fall prey to a spell…
