Editor: Sue Weinlein Cook 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: Welcome to the Tower of High Sorcery at Wayreth, a bastion of magic that has stood for three millennia. This Tower, where famed archmage Raistlin Majere once took his Test of High Sorcery, has endured two world-shaking cataclysms, one attempt to overthrow the gods, and no mortal knows what else! This book puts the most exhaustive collection of lore about the Tower right at your fingertips. The basic material is drawn from twelve years' worth of DRAGONLANCE novels and games. Best of all, these coveted Secrets of the Tower have been updated to the current Fifth Age of Krynn and adapted for the SAGA rules system. Within these pages, you'll glimpse the mysterious residents of the Tower and some of the magical treasures stored within. Chapter One delves into the building of the five Towers of High Sorcery and the history of Wayreth in particular. Chapter Two looks more closely at the area around the Tower as it exists today. In Chapter Three, you receive a visitor's tour of the Tower - plus you get to peek into areas no visitor is allowed to enter, including the Master of the Tower's study and Palin Majere's laboratory. This chapter also includes valuable maps to help you plan your own unique scenes in and around the Tower. Finally, Chapter Four presents an accounting of Krynn's items of magic. The description of each item is taken from the journals of a learned mage, and game details for each one explain the objectts arcane powers and how heroes can use them in adventures. If you're interested in reading more about the Towers of High Sorcery; especially Wayreth, look for these DRAGONLANCE books:
- The Legends trilogy: Time of the Twins, Test of the Twins, and War of the
Twins, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.
Your trip through the Tower will introduce you to magic from all of Krynn's Great Ages, including the Age of Mortals. Enjoy the journey!
