Dragonlance Reader's Companion: The Odyssey of Gilthanas
Gilthanas, legendary Hero of the Lance, has loved and lost. He drove his beloved away, unable to accept the fact that Silvara is not an elf, but an ancient dragon. Too late, he realized that she is the only person who can make his life complete.
Now the elven prince quests to find his lost love. Assassins dog his trail as Gilthanas travels across an Ansalon scarred by Chaos and the coming of the Great Dragons, searching for his heart's desire.
Will Gilthanas find Silvara, or will death find him first?
This novella explores for the first time the fate of the Dragonlance Saga's most famous lovers. An appendix in the tradition of Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home provides details on Gilthanas's Odyssey, as well as the complete rules to the Dragon Wars card game.
The series
Dragonlance is a rich fantasy universe initially crafted by Laura and Tracy Hickman, then expanded by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. The concept was born during a car ride to a job application at TSR, Inc., where Tracy Hickman later teamed up with Weis. Together, they developed a series of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) adventures, which inspired a wide array of novels, game modules, and related products.
Read full series description
In 1984, TSR released the first novel, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, marking the start of the Chronicles trilogy and establishing the Dragonlance series. This core trilogy, written by Hickman and Weis, introduced the world of Krynn, characterized by its elaborate history spanning five ages. Most stories are set during the fourth age, The Age of Despair, while the fifth age, The Age of Mortals, began in February 2009.
Over 190 novels have been set in Dragonlance, supported by extensive D&D campaign material. After TSR was acquired by Wizards of the Coast LLC in 1997, the rights to Dragonlance were licensed to Sovereign Press, Inc. in 2001, although this agreement ended in 2007.
Dragonlance, alongside D&D’s Forgotten Realms, remains one of the most beloved shared fantasy worlds, known for its detailed geography, complex timeline, and iconic characters like the Heroes of the Lance.
