Picking up where Dragons of Ice left off and continuing the story that was novelized in Dragons of Winter Night, this takes the party from shipwrecking on Ergoth, where Silvanesti and Qualinesti elves have relocated and where the Kagonesti wild elves live, and then escaping the elves with a Dragon Orb to take to the Knights of Solamnia up until being led to the tomb of Huma and learning of the secret of the Dragonlances. 

The module is smart enough to allow for the strong possibility that players would have read the novel covering this part of the adventure, so there are several ways in which this deviates from the novel. One of those ways is through the randomization of who is the Silver Dragon Dargent in disguise. In the novels it is Silvara, but because knowing that beforehand would ruin a big twist to the adventure we get a way to make another character be possessed by the Dragon and lead the characters to Huma’s tomb.

Other cool things in the module are some great maps and a whole lore section on the Elves of Krynn, which goes through the history of the Silvanesti, Qualinesti, Kagonesti, Dimernesti and Dragonesti elves, some of which we haven’t even met yet. This section also lets us know how each sub-race looks and how they generally act and how they relate to other inhabitants of the world, which is pretty invaluable to create Elven NPCs, for example.
