About The Doom Brigade



War can get a fellow killed.



The fearless draconians of the War of the Lance have retired from the field of battle to a pleasant valley in the Kharolis Mountains. Well, it would be pleasant, if it weren't for some dwarves, whose irritating feuding prevents the draconians from realizing their greatest hope -- the ability to continue their doomed race.



When the dwarves discover a map leading to a fortune buried in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, the draconians are swept up in a feverish race for treasure. Little do both sides realize that they are part of the strange and terrible destiny descending upon Krynn during the Summer of Flame.



A destiny that includes the children of Chaos . . . the fire dragons!



The Doom Brigade is the first installment in The Chaos War series, stories set during the war of the Dragons of Summer Flame, the New York Times best-selling novel co-authored by Margaret Weis.



Review



Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. It is Misham, Deepkolt the 17th, my name is Adam and today I am going to give you my Spoiler review of The Doom Brigade. I will be spoiling the story, so if you don’t want to know it, stop watching now! I would like to take a moment and thank the members of this YouTube channel, and invite you to consider becoming a member by visiting the link in the description below.

This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat.



We are introduced to two groups. First is Kang’s Regiment, a Bozak commander of the First Dragonarmy Engineering Brigade. They number around 200. The second is a Neidar dwarf village of Celebundin. We are twenty five years after the War of the Lance, and without females among the Draconian species, they are nearing extinction with every death. This is why Kang decided to only use blunt weapons with the intent of knocking out opponents when raiding Celebundin, and the dwarves followed suit when returning raids to Kang’s village. The two communities go back and forth, the Draconians stealing Dwarven Spirits, sheep and crops, and the dwarves stealing it back.



Among the dwarves are Selquist, a half Daergar-half Neidar dwarf, Auger, Mortar and Pestle. These four do not fit into the Celebundin community as they are thieves, stealing for themselves first in the raid, before the greater community. It is here we see them trying to curry favor with the Thane by gifting his daughter a sheep from the last raid, so he would in turn look the other way when they sold the previous dwarf property back to them for a profit. The warchief, Moorthane, threatened to cast Selquist out of the community for his self-serving actions. Frustrated, but determined, Selquist decides to take his friends to Thorbardin through a secret air vent. 



Back at Kang’s regiment, Solinari and Lunitari are going to be a full, so the draconians plan a raid on the dwarves, who made off with a few sheep and personal effects, including Kang’s holy symbol of Takhisis (Selquist has this), and we get to see a lot of Kang’s personality, reasoning and method of leadership which is really interesting.
