With Contributions From: Penny Williams The Fifth Age authors gratefully acknowledge the original pioneers of Krynn: Larry Elmore, Jeff Grubb, Harold Johnson, Douglas Niles, Carl Smith, Michael Williams - and, of course, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Author's Foreword: Wayreth's Tower of High Sorcery is more than just an unusual site. It's also a living community of sorcerers and the focal point of many intrigues. Adventures in Magic presents some of the many characters heroes might meet in and around the Tower of Wayreth, as well as opportunities for daring escapades and magical mysteries that may - or may not - be what they seem. Chapter One gives readers a close-up look at several important Tower inhabitants, Last Conclave members, and frequent visitors to Wayreth. In Chapter Two, you learn what happens to offenders who wind up in the Tower's dungeon: For the hard-headed, it's a confinement that might last a lifetime. Chapter Three reveals the terrors and rewards awaiting those brave enough to face that ultimate gauge of magical acumen - the legendary Test of High Sorcery. Both the Dungeon and Test adventures consist of a series of free-form, customizable scenes you can modify to suit a particular hero. The full-length adventure in Chapter Four, "Quest for the Tower," examines what happens when a group of stalwart heroes inadvertently becomes involved in the intrigue surrounding Wayreth.
- Act One pits them against a group of Dark Knights who have mysteriously
lost their way in the forest. This act also introduces them to a woman
named Trenna: a sorceress with a secret.
The perils in this scenario are typical of the challenges facing most first-time visitors to the remarkable last Tower, so you can use the scenes as the basis for other visits to this enchanted locale. DRAGONLANCE novels and stories by Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Mary Kirchoff, and Terry Phillips provided important background about Wayreth and the other Towers of High Sorcery for this book and can serve as further resources for you to create your own adventures in sorcery. Now, you're off to see the Tower - enjoy the trip!
