A veil of secrecy shrouded the dwarven kingdoms of Krynn when the War of Souls finally came to its bloody end. Then the veil was torn away to reveal the bitter enmities festering under the mountains. Evil magic and epic conflicts rage from Thorbardin to Kayolin, with quarter neither given nor sought by the proud, stubborn dwarf clans. All sides seek victory. But the advantage will go to the faction that learns . . . the secret of Pax Tharkas.
