This trilogy surprised me in many ways. First and foremost, I usually don’t care for short stories. But what TSR, and the editors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman did (Mostly the editors less so TSR) was to pull together a series of stories that fill in the lore of Krynn in ways I didn’t know I wanted until I read it. Some of these stories have been dramatic, some funny, all have been worthwhile. I am not bothered by the format and enjoyed all three books thoroughly.
If you have been following my posts and social media, I first read these books as a teenager, starting when only two books were available. I now have teenagers and am reading them with my kids.
This is how far we have gotten:
The Short stories in this book are briefly (very briefly) surmised below:

When I think of Tanis Half-Elven from Dragons of Autumn Twilight, I think of a brave and heroic character who is always willing to put himself in harm’s way for the benefit of others. But there is much more to Tanis than meets the eye.
Sturm Brightblade is probably one of the most beloved characters from the early Dragonlance saga. He is a loyal and noble knight who strives to protect those he loves and serves. He is a strong, brave, and honorable knight who puts his own life on the line to protect the innocent.
Goldmoon is a heartwarming and caring figure. She is a strong-willed and compassionate woman who is determined to help those around her. She is a leader, a healer, and a source of hope for her people. Goldmoon is a symbol of courage and strength, and her unwavering faith in the gods guides her throughout her journey.
Riverwind is a Plainsman, a nomadic people who live on the plains of Abanasinia. Riverwind is brave and loyal, and is in love with the main character, Goldmoon. He is a skilled hunter and tracker. He is a wise and thoughtful leader, and is respected by the other members of the party.
Raistlin Majere is one of the most iconic characters from the Dragonlance series, and in my opinion all of the fantasy genre. He is a powerful mage who is determined to gain even more power and knowledge.
Caramon is a strong-willed individual who is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. He is an expert swordsman and is a master of the magical arts. Caramon is a loyal and devoted friend who is willing to risk his own life to protect those he loves, especially his brother Raistlin above all others. He is a powerful force for good in the world and is an inspiring example of courage and perseverance.
kingdom of Thorbardin, and is a master smith. He is known for his smithing skills. Flint is a loyal friend, and often helps them out in times of need. He is also a fierce warrior, and is willing to fight for what he believes in. Flint has a strong sense of justice, and will go to great lengths to protect those he cares about. Despite his complains he is very fond of Tasslehoff Burrfoot.
Tasslehoff Burrfoot is the epitome of adventurous spirit. He’s always ready for a new adventure, and he’s never one to shy away from a bit of trouble. He’s the kind of character who will do whatever it takes to get the job done – no matter how risky it might be. He’s also known for his love of pranks, and his mischievous nature often gets him into trouble. But no matter what, he always comes out on top. So, if you’re looking for a bit of excitement, look no further than Tasslehoff Burrfoot, but be sure to check his pockets before he leaves your house!
