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…

Shivam was at this year’s GenCon for Dragonlance's 40th birthday! He talks about what happened at the convention and what is coming for Dragonlance fans. Then we get back to Dragons of Winter Nights. Silvara leads Laurana’s group up the river until they can travel by water no longer. Gilthanas and Silvara learn something about each other under the moonlight. The reader also learns some things about Silvara. They all learn the Kagonesti will not offer any support to them. The Wild Elves believe it was Laurana and company who brought the draconians to their island. They flee by foot into the mountains. Laurana’s suspicions of Silvara grow. They are pursued. Silvara convinces them to split the party. Derek and Sturm take the dragon orb and head to Sancrist. Silvara leads the rest away to draw off their pursuers. Everyone’s suspicions of Silvara grow.

Laurana and Gilthanas are reunited with their family. It goes poorly, especially for Laurana. The rest of the party are prisoners in everything but name. The Elves decide they will be keeping the Dragon Orb. Laurana decides staying with her family is not an option. So, with the help of Silvara and Theros (the blacksmith from Solace who we are reintroduced to here) Laurana and company immediately flee into the wilderness with the Dragon Orb. On the way we learn an old folktale about Huma, and Laurana becomes ever more suspicious of Silvara, and the Kagonesti in general.

We connect back up with Laurana’s group as they return from their successful outing to Icewall. Aboard a ship bound for Sancrist with a Dragon Orb in their possession. Their trip is interrupted by a dragon. We learn a lot about white dragons, much of it uncomplimentary. Lucky for the Companions, white dragons are bad at their job! So, while it ends in a shipwreck almost no one is hurt. Stranded on Southern Ergoth, Laurana and company are quickly picked up by Elves. Which should be good news, but all is not well in the Elvish world. In fact, it appears things are very bad! Three races of elves, all of them hating each other just a little less than they hate everyone else. This is sure to go great!

Intro/Outro music: Winter Night by Alexander Nakarada

Tanis and friends wake up from their nightmare only to find that the awful dream has an all too real effect on Silvanesti and its king, Lorac. The once beautiful Elven home now resembles the nightmare with twisted, bleeding trees and animals, the Tower of the Stars looks more like a melted candle than anything else. King Lorac reveals how all this came to be and dies. Alhana vows that she, and her people, will heal this forest as penance for their pride. Half a continent away Laurana and the rest of the Companions wake up from their shared dream, shudder, and wonder what all it could mean. Raistlin claims the Dragon Orb. Plans are made for the future.

Alhana with Tanis and Company in tow reach Silvanesti. Their rides refuse to take them into the Elven homeland though. Alhana has regrets. Lots of them. Talk of Dragon Orbs and what they might do. They enter the forests of Silvanesti, and a nightmare. All of the Companions are reunited in a horrific, twisted vision of Silvanesti. And in that Nightmare most of them perish. Raistlin has further dark dealings. Tanis races to the Tower of the Stars and the Dragon Orb. The reader sees portents and signs of the future… Oh, there’s also a very large, very evil green dragon, the Nightmare ends. Tanis awakes.
