Part 50 (2/2)
”Reorx told me the dwarf who found the Hammer would be a hero, Tanis. His name would live forever.” Flint snorted. ”I guess that only goes to show the G.o.ds don't know everything.”
”I wouldn't be so sure of that,” said Tanis.
Afterword.
New readers to this series will note many unanswered questions and unresolved mysteries at the end this book, questions such as: how, why, and by whom Raistlin was led to Skullcap, and why haven't the good dragons entered the war against the Dark Queen? Since this volume is one of the ”lost” stories that occurs in the middle of the series, we have deliberately left these questions and other issues unresolved for the time being. Those interested in finding out the answers, and following the further adventures of Raistlin, Caramon, Tanis, Sturm, Flint, Ta.s.slehoff, and all the rest, are encouraged to continue their sojourn in the world of Krynn.
Suffice it to say, Hornfel was given the real Hammer of Kharas, and in return, he and the other Thanes permitted the refugees and the heroes to find safe haven in Thorbardin. The war rages on, however, and no place is truly safe for anyone. For those interested in learning what happens next, this story continues in Dragons of Winter Night Dragons of Winter Night, Volume Two of the Dragonlance Chronicles Chronicles.
The Lost Chronicles series will continue with more stories that were never told in Volume 2, Dragons of the Highlord Skies Volume 2, Dragons of the Highlord Skies, forthcoming in 2007.
Dragons of the Highlord Skies will relate the adventures of the two women who play major roles in the life of Tanis Half-Elven: the mysterious Kitiara uth Matar and Tanis's childhood sweetheart, Laurana. As the Blue Lady, Kitiara, pursues the war across Ansalon, she forms an unholy alliance with the dread death knight, Lord Soth. Meanwhile Laurana, Sturm, Flint, and Ta.s.slehoff, divided from the rest of the companions during the battle of Tarsis, venture south into the dangerous realm of Icereach in search of one of the fabled dragon orbs. will relate the adventures of the two women who play major roles in the life of Tanis Half-Elven: the mysterious Kitiara uth Matar and Tanis's childhood sweetheart, Laurana.
