Hi everyone: I have been asked to post the time line for Dragonlance. Dragonlance is a medieval fantasy world with elves, dwarves, kender, dragons and other mythical creatures. The main story begins with Dragons of Autumn Twilight where a group of friends meet up at their favorite inn after a 5-year hiatus. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote the main story line. There are many books written by other authors about historical events, legends, historical figures, major and minor characters. Even some villains have stories. For example, the Meeting Sextet describes how the group of friends met, and the preludes describes the friends adventures in the intervening 5 years. In my opinion, even though many of the side novels take place chronologically before the Chronicles, they do not have to be read first. Below you will find a list of books that should actually be read in order. However, if you aren't interested in side lines, you can skip the chaos series. You may want to read some of the bridges of time series because it fills in the gap between summer flame and dragons of a new age. But if you want you can just stick with the main event. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Dragons of Autum Twilight (DragonLance Chronicles #1) Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/21670? Life-long friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world. No one expected them to be heroes. Least of all, themselves. Dragons of Winter Night (DragonLance Chronicles #2) Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman 0-7869-3067-5 http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/22658?
