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.

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.

In this month's episode we learn Sturm is a poser, The Companions' party is more permanently split up. The long flight from Tarsis. Raistlin enters a fugue state. Everyone learns about the history of the Dragon Orbs and Krynn. Tanis and half of the Companions are conscripted into the Silvanesti Defense Force. We learn the location of a Dragon Orb. And, finally, Sturm and his half of the Companions are okay. Oh, and Sturm and Alhana share a secret, special bond, that doesn't bode well for anyone.

Tanis and his half of the Companions experience the hatred of the people of Tarsis, lose Tas, and meet the leadership of the city, which isn't much better than the mob. Their own judgment is interrupted when another elf is presented, the princess of the Silvanesti elves, Alhana Starbreeze. Raistlin and Laurana get to know each other and the reader learns about the Family Majere. On the way to prison Tanis and friends meet actual Solamnic Knights, learn Sturm isn't one, and find Tas. We learn a little bit more about Alhana and the Silvanesti Elves. They've fared about as well as everyone else has it seems. We would learn more about Dragon Orbs too, if it wasn't for those pesky dragons who decide now is the best time to invade, really just destroy Tarsis.

Tarsis the Beautiful! The Companions finally arrive at this fabled city only to find out it ain't so beautiful. Oh, and those ships that were going to carry the refugees from Pax Tharkas away to someplace else? Not a lot going on with those 'white-winged' beauties either… Despite this apparent set back the Companions head into the city, the reader gets a little history lesson on Tarsis, and the Cataclysm. Then, the party decides to split! With perfect timing too, as they're also getting arrested. Also, one of your hosts is getting confused.

Welcome to Dragons of Winter Night, the 2nd book of the Dragonlance Chronicles. We're just starting but this book is already so much darker and somber than the first! And all the characters get surly! In this first episode of our second season we go over the opening prologue and the first two chapters of the book. Shivam reminds us that he dislikes poetry. Jonathon wonders why a dwarf writing an epic of the reclaiming of the Hammer of Kharas is talking about a character the reader hasn't been introduced to. We marvel at Elistan's recovery from dying old man to ripped Silver Fox. The Companions are off to a city no one from the north has seen for 300 years in the hopes of finding a new home for the refugees from Pax Tharkas, we eavesdrop on an unknown Dragonlord and their blue dragon mount and get hints at their evil plans.

In this special interlude episode Shvam and Jonathon are joined by Dragonlance creators and authors, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman! We learn about how the two found themselves at TSR and how the world of Krynn was created. Some of these stories we believe have never been told before!

This was literally a dream come true for your hosts and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it.

We've reached the end of Dragons of Autumn Twilight! And the Companions have nearly reached the end of this tale! The Companions encounter Flamestrike, Tanis holds her off while they move the children out into the courtyard. Ember and Verminaard show up, ruining the escape. Fizban dies. Chaos reigns. Ember meets Flamestrike, Verminaard meets the Companions, neither of them is better off for the encounter. The traitor is revealed and almost just as quickly killed. The Companions and the prisoners escape. Riverwind and Goldmoon are wed.

While Tanis and the majority of the Companions conspire with the slaves of Pax Tharkas Tas and Fizban explore its secrets. Taz learns, and then forgets, the truth of Dragonlances. Laurana converts one high seeker to the old faith with a parable. Tas and Fizban learn who the traitor is. Tanis wishes he knew, as everyone who could possibly be the traitor is suddenly not where they are supposed to be! Despite everything the plan to free the slaves moves forward. Tas and Fizban save Sestun only to reveal themselves to Verminaard and Ember. The three flee with the dragon in pursuit. The dragon is wrecking the fort as he pursues them. That giant chain is broken,that ancient cog starts moving. Fizban, Tas, and Sestun fall into darkness...
