Let's examine an alternate timeline that sees the Knights of Takhisis take over, corrupt Dragonlances and raise a flying Citadel from Icewall.

But in this timeline, the snow never stopped falling… And the dragonlances themselves became weapons of darkness. Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam, and today we're taking a look at one of the alternate timelines found along the River of Time: the War of the Darklance.

I'm referencing the Legends of the Twins sourcebook for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below. Discussion The River of Time carries every age, every hero, and every tragedy forward—but it does not flow as a single, unbroken stream. Branching from it are countless tributaries, alternate Krynns shaped by small divergences or catastrophic changes. The War of the Darklance takes place in one such world. Here, the Graygem is never broken. Chaos is never released. Wild Sorcery and Mysticism never emerge. Ambient magic lies dormant, subdued, and tightly controlled. At first glance, this seems like a safer world. But without Chaos to disrupt the fabric of time, the Balance itself becomes rigid—and fragile. When evil learns from its failures and ceases to destroy itself, the result is not equilibrium. It is domination. At the center of this darkness stands Lord Ariakan, son of Ariakas. Unlike the Dragon Highlords of the past, Ariakan does not cling to pride, infighting, or ancient grudges. Instead, he creates something unprecedented: a unified knighthood modeled after the Knights of Solamnia, but devoted wholly to Queen Takhisis. The Knights of Takhisis embrace modern ideals. They wield magic without fear. They integrate warriors, priests, and mages into a single doctrine. And most importantly—evil does not turn against itself. For the first time, the Dark Queen's forces march with discipline, coordination, and purpose. The turning point of the war comes with an act so profane that it scars the world itself. The Knights of Takhisis cannot create weapons of light—but they can corrupt them. Captured dragonlances are brought before a ritual involving three unholy artifacts: the Altar of Takhisis, the Wand of Corruption, and the Hammer of Darkness. Placed upon the obsidian altar, the dragonlances smoke and weaken. The wand suspends them in a field of pure evil, tearing at their magical essence. Finally, the hammer strikes the blade, sealing the transformation. Thus, the darklance is born. These weapons strip the Whitestone forces of their greatest advantage. And the ritual's consequences ripple outward—into the sky, the land, and the seasons themselves. In the year 383 AC, Ansalon enters a nightmare remembered as the Summer of Frost. Temperatures steadily fall throughout spring. By summer, the world freezes. Crops fail. Livestock die. Starvation spreads faster than any army. The sky becomes perpetually overcast. Paladine seems powerless. Even Chislev cannot restore nature's order. Faith begins to crack. And it is in this moment of desperation that the invasion begins. The Knights of Takhisis strike swiftly. Kalaman falls. The Northern Wastes and Nordmaar collapse soon after. At Icewall, the dead Highlord Aren Feal-Thas is reborn as a death knight, cursed and bound to undeath. Icewall Glacier begins moving north—alive, jagged, relentless—guided by Feal-Thas's thoughts and emotions. Floating above it is Icewall Castle, transformed into a flying citadel. White dragons patrol the skies, wielding darklances, while thanoi, sivak draconians, and barbarian tribes march below. Entire villages vanish beneath the ice. As the Blood Sea freezes solid, the minotaurs see their moment. Led by Chot Es-Kalin, they march across the ice toward Ansalon, beginning a brutal campaign of genocide against the ogres. Though larger and stronger, the ogres lack discipline. Battle after battle, the minotaurs advance—until the thaw comes too late for Chot's secondary forces, which plunge into the Maelstrom beneath the melting ice. Chot himself remains stranded on the mainland, facing an ogre counteroffensive with no retreat. The war spares no one. The Qualinesti Forest burns, assaulted by dragons and Thorn Knights. Qualinost is destroyed. Elves flee—some to Ergoth, others east toward Silvanesti, where they are met with resentment and fear. The High Clerist's Tower falls for the first time in history. Tanis Half-Elven and Steel Brightblade die in its defense. Their fallen comrades are buried in mass graves, their names carved into stone. Palanthas surrenders without a fight. The Tower of High Sorcery is destroyed from within as Dalamar the Dark brings it down to prevent the Knights of the Thorn from reaching the portal to the Abyss. Whether Dalamar survives is unknown. Ergoth becomes the last refuge. Overcrowded. Hungry. Diseased. Clerics of Mishakal work tirelessly, overwhelmed by suffering. Gnomes abandon invention for joy and instead build engines of war. Even the kender feel the weight of despair. Yet resistance survives. Merinda uth Brishard leads roving Solamnic knights. Galvan Stonebreaker wages his private war. Underground movements form in Palanthas and Khur. And even within the darkness, evil begins to strain against itself. Aren Feal-Thas seeks to overthrow Ariakan. Mirielle Abrena consolidates her own power. The Blood War threatens Ariakan's eastern flank. The Balance may yet reassert itself.  This timeline has no fixed ending. The Knights of Takhisis have conquered most of Ansalon. Winter still grips the land. Another natural winter is coming. The Heroes of the Lance are gone. Now, the fate of the world rests with new champions—thieves, killers, outcasts, and survivors—people who may have to abandon honor to preserve hope. If the war can be won, the scars will remain. The land will never be the same. And the people of Ansalon will carry this darkness forever. But if the fight is abandoned—then this tributary of the River of Time ends in ice, silence, and shadow. The War of the Darklance is a world where evil learned, adapted, and nearly won. A Krynn where hope is fragile, honor is costly, and the Balance hangs by a thread.  And that makes it one of the most haunting alternate timelines in all of Dragonlance. Outro But that is all the time I have to talk about the Alternate Timeline: War of the Darklance. Do you like the idea of Dragonlance's being corrupted? Can the death Knight Feal-Thas rival Lord Soth? And finally will the Knights of Takhisis ever be overthrown? Leave a comment below.

She was told she could never be a knight. So she became a legend. Riva Silverblade trained in secret, slew dragons, wielded the dragonlance, and carried Solamnic honor from Ansalon to Taladas. This is the story of the Knight who proved courage has no limits. You can see readings of all DC Dragonlance comics here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-ZMN0IxDq3QY9hD0rB8n4JIETH-Czi8k  https://youtu.be/0KQlpZ5t2KQ Transcript Cold Open In every age, there are knights born to banners… and there are knights who must carve their place into history with blood, steel, and unyielding will. This is the story of Riva Silverblade— a woman who defied tradition, challenged destiny, and proved that courage recognizes no gender, no station, and no age. Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and today I am going to talk about Riva Silverblade, Knight of the Sword. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron, you can even pick up Dragonlance media using my affiliate links in the description below. I am referencing the Dragonlance DC Comics, Dragonlance Campaign Setting sourcebook and the Price of Courage adventure module for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below! Discussion Riva Silverblade was born Riva Silvercrown in 332 AC, within the cold stone halls of her father's ancestral castle. Lord Silvercrown was a respected noble—firm in tradition, immovable in his beliefs—and like most of Solamnia, he believed knighthood was a path reserved for men. But from her earliest years, Riva dreamed of becoming a Knight of Solamnia. She watched tournaments from the battlements. She listened to tales of Huma Dragonbane and Vinas Solamnus. And though denied sword, shield, and saddle, she trained in secret—practicing with stolen weapons, learning footwork and form until she was certain she could surpass many of her father's sworn knights. In 344 AC, Lord Silvercrown hosted a tournament within his own keep. Disguised and unrecognized, Riva entered. She defeated every challenger. When the victor removed her helm and revealed herself, the hall fell silent. Her triumph was undeniable… and so was her father's fury. Though humiliated, Lord Silvercrown refused her knighthood. So Riva resolved to earn what tradition denied. Seeking to prove her worth, Riva learned of a raid by Dark Dwarves upon Neidar merchants and rode to intervene alone. She was captured. Bound and helpless, Riva was offered as a sacrifice to a White Dragon. But her father, tracking her trail, arrived at the dragon's lair. Together they fled as the cavern collapsed around them—stone shattering, flame roaring, death close at hand. In the chaos, the dragon was impaled upon Riva's battle standard, dying amid the falling rock. Riva returned home not as a knight… …but with her father's respect. When Riva's courage was again questioned, she climbed a mountain in search of a dragon's egg—an act few dared attempt. She fell into a dragon's nest…  and into a secret older than nations. There she encountered gnomes, holding dragon hatchlings captive in pursuit of treasure. Riva chose the hatchlings. She fought beside them—and was recognized by a Bronze Dragon as a dragon-friend. But the time was not yet right. Bound by the Oath of Neutrality, the dragon erased her memory of the encounter. Only her courage remained. In 351 AC, Riva was rescued from hobgoblins by a young warrior named Sturm Brightblade. Their journey led them to a Temple of Majere, where Riva met Vandar Brightblade, Sturm's uncle and a monk of deep conviction. When the Blue Dragonarmy descended, the temple was annihilated. Only Riva and Vandar survived. From a hidden shed, Vandar revealed a weapon of legend—a dragonlance. Their path led to Castle Silvercrown, where betrayal awaited. Riva's brother Marik revealed himself as a Sivak Draconian, murdering, taunting, and mocking before Riva struck him down—only to watch his body twist into her own likeness as he died. That night, Riva and Vandar shared the same dream. Lord Soth. Takhisis. And Temptation. Riva raised the dragonlance against the Dark Queen herself. When the Dragonarmies attacked, Riva struck down a red dragon—but was no match for Kitiara uth Matar. Vandar died shielding a child. The dragonlance was taken. And Fizban revealed the truth: Riva had wielded a false lance. The real one had never been lost. By the time Riva stood before the minotaurs of Nethosak, she was no longer merely Riva Silvercrown. She was Riva Silverblade— Knight of the Sword, champion of Paladine, and voice of Solamnic honor beyond Ansalon's shores. Even when alliances failed, her resolve did not. Summoned by Fizban, Riva was cast across the world to Taladas, a land broken by war and forgotten by gods. There, she slew a blue dragon, opposed traitorous minotaurs, freed captives, and became a symbol of hope among strangers who had none. She crossed shardstorms, elven caverns, and burning fields. She chose mercy when others chose fire. And when a village punished a boy mage for a terrible mistake, Riva defied the law—saving him from death, even as fate claimed him anyway. In Taladas, Riva learned that righteousness does not always bring victory. Sometimes… it only ensures that goodness survives. Decades later, weakened by poison and age, Riva fled draconians across Ansalon. Her dragon Ktarrh lay dead. Yet even then, Riva stood. She entrusted a scroll to Solamnic Knights astride bronze dragons—guiding them to victory one last time. In her final years, Riva Silverblade became head knight of Castle Eastwatch, guarding Southern Ergoth with wisdom earned through sacrifice. She commanded not with arrogance—but with memory. She passed peacefully in 422 AC. Riva Silverblade was never meant to be a knight. That is why she became one. Headstrong. Impulsive. Noble. She carried the courage of a dragon, and proved that honor is not inherited—It is earned. Outro And that is all I have to say about Riva Silverblade. Do you think she should have been given entrance into the Knighthood? Did you like her storyline largely taking place in Taladas? And finally, have you played Price of Courage and did you witness her final moments? Leave a comment below.

Adrienne Iapalucci jokes about a new threat to turtles in her Netflix special, "Dark Queen".

Join me as I review The Search for Power edited by Margaret Weis live! Share your thoughts on this second Tales of the War of Souls anthology, released by Wizards of the Coast on April 4, 2004. You can buy a copy here: https://amzn.to/4pq15AC  https://youtube.com/live/BWdlgmkHRnc About The Search for Power The latest Dragonlance anthology, featuring an introduction by Margaret Weis. This newest anthology focuses on the lives and ways of dragons in the era following the end of the New York Times best-selling War of Souls trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Edited by Margaret Weis and filled with a dozen stories from both well-known Dragonlance authors and a few newcomers, this is the first anthology to feature stories that take place in the current Dragonlance time period. Review Osuin's Treasure by Mark Sehestedt Subcommander Maros, Knight of the Lily Uthun, Knight of Takhisis Aithan, squire to Sil Euric of Solanthus Djerid, Nerakan Barbarian, guide, scout Illus Goiar Sir Isurlak, Order of the Skull Toras Cloram Baren, Lord Osuin's son, Sable's dragon spawn This is a great way to start an anthology! What a good story. It's filled with tension and fear, nearly palpable! We pick up with a Dark Knight company who came across a Solamnic knight company, and defeated them. One wagon went over a cliff as they were traveling toward Sanction. The manifest stated something about Lord Osuin't Treasure, but there was nothing in the wagon. Only a squire of a Solamnic Knight survived, and he wasn't speaking. They found a dying Knight who, when they told him the cage in the back of the wagon was empty, replied they would all die. But no one would say what the treasure was. Subcommander Maros took a finger from the squire, but he only repeated the oath. They began to travel toward Sanction and the Treasure caught up to them and started killing. Again, the tension of this unseen creature was great, and as men started dying, it only escalated. The creature wiped out the entire Dark Knight company. When Maros came to, he was being wanted by the squire. The treasure was Lord Osuin's son, taken by Sable the Black Dragon Overlord and turned into one of its Dragon Spawn. It left the squire alive for the kindnesses the squire showed it while transporting it. But Maros was dying, so the squire told him what and who the treasure was. This was well worth a read and I just love horror stories like this one. Loyalty by Richard A. Knaak Captain Salvas, minotaur captain, silver dragon Shield Commander Drako Jek, first mate, minotaur Volcanus, red dragon Oh man, this was great! A minotaur ship was scouring the seas looking for rebels and defectors, and arrived at an island as a storm set in. As the minotaurs were disembarking their captain, Salvas, left ahead of the others and found a cave with a massive dragon totem in it. He transformed into his true form, a silver dragon named Shield. He had been looking for the skull of his mate, killed by a red dragon named Volcanus, who was also killed by Malystrix. Shield could feel the death of Malys somehow, but when he went to destroy the totem, the spirit of Volcanus appeared. He would let Shield's mate's spirit leave the totem, if Shield let Volcanus' spirit in him as a new body. He refused and he was wounded by the awesome power of the spirit of Volcanus. Then his crew arrived, as he quickly shifted into minotaur form again. They took him to camp at the shore where he was pounded and healed for days. Then they knocked him out and he awoke under a net. They realised he was a dragon and they believed he was going to kill him. When Shield explained what he was doing and why, he told them all to leave so he could free his mates soul. They left on their longboats and Shield returned to succumb to Volcanus. But when he began to enter Shields’ body, he said he would not let his mates go free. Shield struggled, then suddenly the minotaurs all rushed in and started attacking the totem. They lost many of their crew, but the totem was destroyed and Shields’ mate was rescued in death. Shield woke to his first mate who explained the outcome and left the skull for him. They fought for the loyalty of their captain. It was such a moving story about brotherhood and loyalty. It reminded me of being in the military, and what any true friend would do, and I loved it all. Knaak knocks yet another story out of the park. The Dragon's Child by Nancy Varian Berberick Raven Thorn Inferno, red dragon What a fun story. Raven, a human thief, was scouring the mountains around Sanction for a dragon’s den to steal egg shells to sell. Since the return of the gods and magic, they were a premium with wizards for spell components. As he went in he saw the eggs all smashed and draconians entered. He ran from them, with his dragon egg shell, but they were taken by a kapak as he fled in the tunnels that are beneath Sanction. The great red dragon Inferno was returning to her lair when she noticed her eggs destroyed, and decided to try to cut off any escape by entering the tunnels near the lords of doom, but most were collapsed except for the volcanoes themselves. Raven continued to flee the Draconians, running into even more before running into a wyrmling. Apparently one of the dragon’s eggs hatched and the wyrmling followed him. He gave it water and hid it when the draconians got close. Eventually he came out of the tunnels into a massive cavern with treasure and the draconians were there, and started fighting when Inferno arrived and destroyed the draconians. The wyrmling told inferno the human was helping it, and the dragon offered a boon to the human, giving him some treasure and told him the way out. It was a great little tale and now I want a wyrmling. Four Ends by John Helfers Threxellex, red dragon Relk, sivak Gul, minotaur bandit L'Arth, pirate This was a quick tale about revenge. A woman and her son were taken by a red dragon's minion and brought to him. He believed two of his pirates were stealing from him, so he held the son and had the women lie to each of them in turn, convincing them to kill the dragon and each other for the treasure, and to rescue her son. They both agreed separately, greed convincing them of the act. When they got to the cave, the dragon killed them. Then the woman was brought back to the dragon, but she told him that her children were killed and the two pirates had killed them and wronged her. Now it was this dragon’s turn. The sivak and the child turned into silver dragons and killed the red with the woman watching. It was a nice little story that showed even dragons can be tricked, and more, good dragons are willing to work with humans when they are allowed to hunt down and kill evil dragons. I really liked the idea, and the idea of pirate towns in Dragonlance. I don't feel like we have enough of them. At the Water's Edge by Jamie Chambers Anar Sovralian, Qualinesti Elf Ebon Nightshadow, Black Dragon Kerasina, elf Ealthan, elf This was a great story, and I am not sure if it was a dream or not. The Elf Anar was trailing elves, and saw them talk with an individual. He went to the man and cast a charm spell on him to get information about where the elves had gone. With the information he traveled to the former lair of Ebon Nightshadow, a black dragon and former servant of Beryl. He was then caught by elves. He saw his wife, the reason he was searching for the elves, and pleaded with her to leave with him, but she refused. Convinced these elves abducted her, he fought them, only to once again be subdued. She told him that after their son died fighting to allow them to live in the dwarven tunnels, she came out and wanted to fight to reclaim their homeland of Quialinesti. But he believed the Dark Knight and Goblin hoards were too much, so he pleaded with her to leave with him. After she refused he started fighting the elves again, and they beat him down. His wife held him as he passed out and awoke in an alley, as if from a dream. I think this is a great story but the idea of a wife abandoning her husband for nationalism actually bothers me more than anything else. I understand wanting to fight for your homeland, but what then? Who will you share it with? Did you ever love your partner in the first place if you so willingly abandon them? It's tough to think about. Lake of Death by Dan Willis. Tendek, former Knight of Neraka Wylinger, kender Donnala, Tendek's twin sister, former Knight of Neraka I thought this story was going somewhere but I was completely wrong. Twins and former Knights of Neraka were traveling through Qualinesti after treasure seeking in the Plains of Dust with the kinder Wylinger, they came across a band of goblins and a donkey. They were tired of hauling this cart full of loot themselves, so they attacked the goblins, running them off, and took the Donkey. Wylinger named her Lesie, and they continued north. They eventually came to a massive lake with the name of Lake of Death, this is of course former Qualinost. They decided to make camp when they saw a boat, and decided to take it across the lake. Lesie was very difficult to get in the boat as she was afraid of the lake, and it turned out, with cause. The lake was haunted by the spirits of the dead. This freaked out the donkey who kicked the two former Dark Knight sin to the water, refusing to let them on board. As they continued through the lake, the kender convinced the donkey to let them aboard by promising to share their treasure with her. Then once on the other side of the lake, they disembarked and traveled to the green valley beyond. This story had a number of oddities in it. First, the kender got scared from the ghosts in the Lake of Death, but kender are supposed to be fearless, unless they are an afflicted kender, but Wylinger didn't show any signs of being afflicted. Then the donkey being able to understand the kender and humans, even making deals with them was nonsensical. I get that donkeys are known to be stubborn, but promising them food and treasure as if they understand it is ridiculous. Then to end it so abruptly, I wonder what the true purpose of this story was meant to be. The Dragonslayers by Douglas W. Clark Skerrith Dragonslayer Ragweed Pollenflower, kender Ruby Columbine, barmaid Targe, patron Borstan Dunnerth, mayer of Trader's Lot Grot, rancher A dragonslayer named Skerrith came to town and started boasting about his exploits in a tavern. The kender was awestruck and asked for more and more stories as the mayor appeared. He mentioned that the town was suffering over a dragon who had been killing the ranchers’ livestock. They offered the dragonslayer the opportunity to kill the dragon and save the town, for a price of course. THe dragonslayer said he would do it in the morgan and the barmaid backed him up when the patrons all said there were hours of light left to the day. That night the false dragonslayer tried to sneak out of the inn, but was interrupted by someone claiming the dragon had just struck. They all tried to once again get him to go out that night, but he refused and in the morning found his fake Dragonlance gone with the kender. The barmaid insisted ion going with him to find the kender and kill the dragon. As they searched they split up with storm clouds gathering. The dragonslayer found the kender who was making a cage and they heard a scream as they ran toward it, they saw the dragon resting in mud with a claw holding the barmaid down. As lightning flashed, the dragon got up and flew away, with the lightning reflecting off its copper scales. They returned to the inn with the dragon gone, the barmaid and dragonslayer married and took over the inn, and the kender told tales of how he slayed the dragon, with help, every night. It wa sa fun story, about the copper dragon, but I almost would rather have the Dragonslayer be outed, then make a deal with the copper dragon, thereby seeming to be a hero. But it was a fun story none-the-less. Inventory by Jean Rabe Gaspar, Hylar Dwarf Skarn Ironskyll, Niedar Dwarf A red dragon had snatched two dwarves from a mountain and brought them to her hoard. She had taken the hoard from a dead dragon and wanted it inventoried in context with a black dragon. The dwarves worked day and night cataloging the items, terrified of the red dragon, then one day a dwarf brought a magical mirror to the red and it vanished inside of it. The dwarves filled their pockets with as much treasure as they could carry and left to go to their respective town, when they were snatched up again by the black dragon the red was competing with. He thought they were random dwarves as he was scouring the trail the red had found them on. It was a fun little tale about dragons wanting to know exactly what is in their hoard, and its funny to consider they compete with literal lists of items between each other. I enjoyed the tale. Special Delivery by Jeff Grubb Edgar nunce Manifew, Gnome Raeja of the Crimson Sails, Minotaur Pirate Lord Toede What a great story! We get Lord Toede back, and he is in fact alive post War of Souls. The city of Flotsam has turned into a pirate town, led and controlled by Raeja, a minotaur, at the supposed behest of Lord Toede. The tax collector Edgar has learned of Gnomes who want to deliver music boxes to the town, but he knows the town wouldn't want any loud bangs and explosions that are customary with Gnome inventions, so he goes to investigate the goods himself. He discovers they actually work and are quite lovely, so he brings the gnome and his machines to the council, and Toede allows him entry to deliver goods, but Raeja speaks out against it. He demands the gnomes stay over a hundred feet away from the town at all times, except for deliveries, and Toede agrees, so do the gnomes. So when the first shipment comes, it’s pushed down the hill and crashes into the gates, destroying them, followed by many more wagons full of music devices, which all crash in turn. The gnomes are ordered to not use the gates anymore and to keep away from town, so they begin to catapult the deliveries. This infuriates Raeja who goes to collect a militia to eradicate the gnomes, but Edgar asks Toede if he can warn the gnomes. Toede agrees, and when he arrives at their quarry, they seem elated that the minotaurs and pirates are gathering to confront them, he brings Edgar into the town house,which itself catapults up into the air over flotsam where they drop more deliveries onto the minotaur and pirates heads, then crashes into the hillside. They all leave and it turns out Toede was tired of the pirates and used the gnomes to get rid of them. That toede is one sneaky hobgoblin, even in his advanced age. Marine Skies by Lucien Soulban Brysis, Female Dargonesti elf Veloxua, Female Dargonesti elf Quayseen, Male Dargonesti elf Minnow-Tyrant, Dolphin The World Gash This was another great underwater story. It featured three Dargonesti sea elves as they explore and map the deadly Desolation waters. Something is poisoning the corals, killing them, forcing sea life to abandon the area and sharks to move in searching for remnant food sources. They narrowly escape one shark and continue mapping the sea floor on their dolphin scout, Minnow-Tyrant's back. They discover a more salty portion of water in an area known as the World Gash, where the sea floor has dropped out of sight. They go to explore it only to discover it has a cloud of acidic water poisoning the area that they have to swim through. On the other side, they soon witness a volcanic eruption and even more of the sea floor above them crumbles, trapping one of them below, while the other two swim up to freedom. They need to report back to Watermere and Istar to warn the other sea elves of the rapid changes their sea is experiencing, and how it will affect all life underwater. I really love how the sea is another world altogether, but it is affected just as the surface is by the Dragon Overlords, or their sudden absence as in the post War of Souls era. Let's hope we get more of these wonderful stories in the future. Wyrm's Claw inn by Miranda Horner Tam Ceary, council member Argus Thornton, innkeep Elthan, cleric of kiri-jolith Brell, housekeeper Radley This was an unexpected tale. Tam Ceary ordered an exorcism for the inn owned by Argus Thornton. This closed the inn for a while, though Argus believes it was less about the mild nuisance of the ghost that did haunt the inn than the tab he demanded Tam to pay. When the cleric arrived they heard commotion in the kitchen to discover Tam near death with weapons sticking out of him. His wife was tired of his drinking and hitting her afterward, so it appeared she finished him before he could finish her. Then they hear a commotion upstairs. There were two ghosts now that were messing in the master’s room, yelling get out. The new housekeeper, Brell, pulled a ring off a necklace, claiming it was a wish ring and wished the ghosts to leave. Suddenly all was quiet, but that was enough for the innkeeper. He and the cleric left, leaving Brell with the inn. Then it was revealed that the ring was her wedding ring, and the two ghosts were her husband and daughter. She had gone after the dark knights that killed them, and killed them. Then returned to claim her old home. It was a great story that makes me want to run yet another one shot about a haunting. Coin of Adament by Kevin T. Stein Brek, Scout Wulfbunde, black wolf Bundesphar, wolf soldiers Captain Arana, scout, follows white lady Canus Another one of the Wulfbunde and Bundesphar stories. These disciples of the Dark Queen are created by Canus, who never explains who it is. But the other Bundesphar have started following Mishakal in the post War of Souls era as Takhisis is dead, but Brek and his wulfbunde refuse. They chase a chaos demon only to be nearly destroyed by it, and Mishakal shows up herself to offer them help. Instead they pick themselves up and wander away. Then Mishakal says that ‘Krynn's secrets are coming to destroy us, and they need the bundesphar. Is this in reference to the remnant Chaos minions, Mina, or some other threat that was never explored? We will never really know, but I am glad this set of stories is done. I like the premise of a wolf bound pair, but it needs to be fleshed out more, and extrapolated on to make complete sense. The Box by Paul B. Thompson Dunnar Bolly Agaran Umram the Chiseler Hundel, dwarf Zetan Sleeps W Well, I did not expect this. The story begins as an old man and his dog are leading a wagon through a town, when three thieves catch sight of him. They help him past a rut in the road then stalk him as he goes into the tavern. They look at his cart which has a sealed box in the back. THey try to pick it only to reveal a led-filled lock. They go into the tavern, and two of the thieves go to get horses so they can follow this man and his cart and rob him of it. They are certain it contains something valuable. They catch up to the man, stab him and take the box. They go into the wilderness and break it open to find another box, with no means of opening it. They deliver it to a fence who eventually builds a bonfire to melt its forged hinges, and the side reveals a phrase ‘Zetan sleeps within'. They leave the fire till morning when they return to it open and the smith dead. Soon men start going missing or are found dead and the thieves realize the box contained an egg that must have hatched. Now a dragonling was running around killing the keep’s residents. THe fence locks the thieves in the tower as the dragonling slowly stalks, then kills everyone. It leaves the thieves for last. When the deed was done the old man and his dog rode through the keep, explaining to the reader that they are curated to distribute a dragon’s young in this manner for trying to steal its treasure. This is their punishment. The story does a great job of setting up the horror of being stalked and hearing death all around you, it was really great. The Albino by Douglas Niles Dagger, Diamond, Albino,  This was an interesting first person narrated story about a black dragon during the dragon purge. She found a secret lair in a volcano and was raising her brood there. One of her hatchlings was a n albino and it was quickly shunned and brutalized by everyone. It took to crafting blocks of stone with its acid breath alone. One day it snuck off and the mother went after it. It was near a random Knight of the Rose when the mother caught it, killed the knight and his horses and punished the albino.This behavior would repeat regularly, and one day she went after the albino as it tried to fly. It was seen by a great red dragon that was going after it, and the mother hid and ambushed the bigger red. It was a difficult fight, but the mother black won, and once again, punished the albino. When they were all healed, it took all the brood to test flying and the albino took off into the sky. The mother gave chase and Malystryx flew out of the clouds after the mother. She fled as best she could but Malys found her wyrmlings and killed them all, then came after her again. She went into an underwater cavern she knew of and once inside, fighting for aid, she got to the end to find it blocked by square blocks her albino was forging. There the story ended, with her suffocating and ambushed by the very wyrmling she took care of. This is a great way of showcasing how brutalising children leads to brutal children. It made me think of the film The Good Son with Macaulay Culkin. This was a really good anthology of stories, while they are not all gold, they are really good, and much better than the preceding anthology in my opinion. If you are a fan of dragons, or dragonlance, you should read this anthology.

Review All For a Pint by Brian Murphy Stynmar, wizard, White robe Grantheous, wizard, Red robe Fetlin, apprentice Gerald, archmagus, Black robe This was a delightful tale about two mages, former white and red robes, who decided to make a profile, and improve the nature of those who consumed it, by casting a spell on beer. This spell is meant to improve one’s disposition, but they had to test various strengths of the spell. One had minotaurs tickle fighting each other. Another had a aman mooning them then running down the street. They finally perfected the spell, and it was stolen from them that night! THey chased who they believed stole it and it led to a warehouse where the thief talked with a black robed wizard and entered it. The two wizards and their apprentice went into a nearby tavern and had a frew pints before bursting into the door, but the beer they were drinking was their own. They felt wonderful, and after kissing the barmaid, they left ready to break down the warehouse door. As they charged the door, the wizard opened it, causing them to run and roll into the warehouse. The old wizard ended up being their former master, and he scolded them for using the remaining magic to effect beer. To punish them he cast the spell over Palanthas' well, and the entire city had a full day of peace, happiness, and brotherly love. The two mages seemed to learn their lesson, and that was the story. It reminded me of an old short story from the original Tales collection where a kender puts a love potion into Otik's ale and it ends with a love fest in the Inn of the Last Home. It was a nice entry into this collection. The End by Nancy Varian Berberick Jai Windwild, apprentice librarian Annalisse Elmgrace, librarian Marshall Medan Gilthas, puppet king Emeth Windwild, Jai's father, member of the resistance Marise Windwild, Jai's mother Stanach Hammerfell This is about the final days of the Qualinesti. It is focused on a librarian’s assistant Jai, who has spent his young career reading and cataloging the histories of the Quelinesti nation. His master, librarian Annalisse, sees Jai as the best of her assistants. He leaves one night for dinner when his father tells him that they must leave Qualinost. Their relatives are dying and they should all travel to them. In truth, he is part of the resistance and the Dark Knights are close to capturing him, so he arranged this trip. Jai doesn't want to go, but sees no option of staying because he would be caught, tortured and killed. He returns to this library and tells Annalisse where he’s going but that he will be back. When they leave that night, they are stopped as a Dark Knight is waiting on the road. They are teleported and wake in a dwarven tunnel. Stanach Hammerfell greets Jai and leads him down the tunnel toward Thorbadin. He is alone, and doesn't know where everyone else is. Stanach tells him they are with the dwarves, and explains these tunnels were the idea of the Thane and Gilthas. Qualinost is going to fall, sooner rather than later, and the people need safe passage out of Qualinesti. Jai doesn't care and insists on leaving to record the end of Qualinost. Eventually Sanach relents and lets the young elf go, as they are nearing the exit of the tunnel, Annalise's voice is heard directing Dark Knights. It turned out that she bargained for the safety of the library and gave up the plan of the elves leaving and the tunnels under Qualinesti. Stanach and Jai fight them, capture Annalisse and Stanach says that he will wait for Jai. Jai ends up heading home. It reminds me of World War 2 when Nazi Germany was rounding up Jews, Gays, Blacks and anyone they deemed weak. That is what the Dark Knight represents and while going back to Qualinost to witness its end sounds like the height of foolishness, I can understand one’s passion for their home and wanting to be there, even as the world falls apart. The Lost Sea by Linda P. Baker Captain Effram I am torn about this story. For one, it’s written really well. But for another, I don't like the main character at all. This is about Captain Effram, he lives in Tarsis and has built a boat. Tarsis has been landlocked since the Cataclysm, so he is ridiculed by everyone in town for building a ship. The children come and taunt and tease him, and he runs them off, further ruining his reputation among the townsfolk. Then one day a storm came, and it kept raining, and only Effram wore the appropriate clothing for a rain storm and was mocked for it. Then the water began to build on the ground, and soon his ship began to float! He took it out in this massive blinding night storm and was nearly swept out to sea, but managed to turn it back toward Tarsis to see people climbing the ships in the old bay that were repurposed for homes, trying to survive the weather and oncoming seawater. They leapt down toward Effram's ship, and slowly, reluctantly, he turned to bring more people onto his ship. Even as there were more to save, he raced the boar to the docks, and in the massive storm told them to get out. When he turned back to the sea, he saw a woman leap into the ocean, screaming for help, he turned away from her, and sailed into the sea. This character who wanted to be respected and appreciated by the townsfolk, didn’t even want to save them, then abandoned others. His cruelty in their fate was less human and more monstrous. Something I didn't enjoy reading at all. The strength of our species is that when push comes to shove, regardless of any other factor, we help one another. Survival is built into our DNA. It is the aberrant among us that would turn and walk away from someone facing death, when you could save them, yet Effram did just that. The people jibing him did not equal a justified death, and it simply bothered me. Some Assembly Required by Nick o'Donohoe Sorter, gnome Franni, kender The story begins with a gnome named Sorter working in the great repository, sorting the thousands of volumes of gnomish manuals. It showcases a typical day in Mount Nevermind for gnomes, and leads to a Kender named Franni asking a series of questions to Sorter about the books. Later there is a book avalanche and they are afraid the kender was under them, but after clearing it up, they saw no kender, but a few books were missing. So Soter decided he would go after the Kender. He packed traveling clothing and headed out to the closest town with smoke ascending to the sky. A warehouse was burned down and children who were working the warehouse were having a grand time. THey said a Kender came by and burned the warehouse down. The elders told him that the kender left toward their neighboring town, and that the kender should stay there. The gnome went on to the next town which was covered in mud. Its children were also enjoying the destroyed warehouse. Apparently there is fierce trade competition so all these villages suggest visiting the next, to recreate the destruction they experience. The gnome continued on to find the kender in the third village constructing a siege machine. The gnome ended up helping him and it summarily destroyed the town, as all gnome inventions are prone to do. The town leadership paid them to go to the next few towns and create some machines for them and off the gnome and kender went with an idea for a massive Solamnic knife machine. It was a silly story that illustrated the dire consequences of gnomish technology and the curiosity and free spiritedness of Kneder and the wildly dangerous combination of them both together. Go with the Floe by Paul B. Thompson Raegel Mixun, mixundantalus Balic Persayer, captain Wheeler, gnome Slipper, gnome Excellent Continental Ice Project Artagor, pirate captain This was a fun story about two snake oil salesmen who regularly conned people and were caught in a con by a ship captain and marooned on the icewall. Destined to die there, with the cold nearly doing the task, they were awoken by the terrible and loud sound of gnomish machinery! The gnomes took them aboard their great ice cutting wheels and entered Nevermind South. A temporary camp where the gnomes could cut miles of glacier ice and transport it to Sancrist. Stunned by the audacity of the gnomes but happy to be alive, the two men go with the gnomes. They end up breaking the miles size glacier off and use the wheel machines to paddle it north. As they pass Enstar, pirates come about and try to rob them, but the gnomes have no treasure, only tools and the two con men have nothing of value. Frustrated, the pirate captain decides to kill the two, but a cyclone is building off the coast and hits suddenly. The iceberg is dashed to the shore of Enstar and breaks to pieces. Ruining the gnomes’ plans, but industrious as ever, they get back to work, collecting gear and coming up with new plans. The con men approach a town, talk about the ice that’s on the shore and sell it, and they convince the people to pay for the ice! Then they decide to help the gnomes and make a living selling ice across Ansalon. Again, just a silly and fun story that was way more entertaining than I expected it to be. The Great Gully Dwarf Climacteric of 40 S.C. by Jeff Crook Dr. Palaver, gnome Morgrify Pinchpocket, kender Whortleberry Pinchpocket, kender, Morgrify's cousin Gulps Bulps Shadow Dragon The story begins with two Kender running from a mob. They break into the gnomish district and burst into a gnomes home where he was staying late. The gnome, Dr. Palaver is asked to cure Morgrify's cousin, Whortleberry. He is an afflicted kender and it seemed to have come upon him very recently in a tunnel under Palantha filled with Gully Dwarves. The gnome said that he can cure his cousin but they need to face the fear that caused the affliction. They must return to the sewers post haste! The kender and gnome all head to the sewer. They eventually discovered gully dwarves and a massive hole that was supposed to be scary, but it just contained another gully dwarf from the Bulp clan, rather than the Gulps from earlier. He led them to the scariest place he knew of, a shadow dragon! The dragon had been making the Aghar make smoke for it to consume, or it would consume them. It breathed its terrifying smoke, blinding and disorienting everyone, and the kender quickly had Whort drink the heroic potion that doctor gnome said would cure his fright. He drank it and sunbeams, rainbows and spring flowers sprang from every orifice on his body, forcing the dragon back into its lair. He began taunting it finally able to speak, and his fear subsided, he dragged the gnome and Mordrify to the surface, but the spring scented flowers were too much for the Aghar and they fled in mass into the city, killing pets and one homeless man before running off into the docks, sinking ships and killing themselves and fish. It was a massive cacophony, and in the end Whort brought the gnome doctor and his uncle to another gnome doctor to cure their blindness. This was a silly story, but I am now thinking this whole collection is just about Kender, Gully Dwarves or Gnomes. Bond by Kevin T. Stein Karn, scout Blood, Karn's Wulfbunde Brek Arana Canus, bond between wolf and man Jaren Syllany The Forsaken, former Wulfbunde from previous story This is a disjoined tale that is a sequel to an even more disjointed tale about the Wulfbunde, apparently in the Age of Might, The Dark Queen gave power to men who followed Canus? And could form bonds with wolves. In the aftermath of the Chaos War, they hunted teh agents of chaos. The previous story has a Wulfbunde kill his wolf rather than see him consumed by Chaos and he became The Forgotten, though in that story he was condemned to the Abyss, if memory serves. Now he is out and terrorizing the land around the Lords of Doom. The five scout Wulfbunde are now hunting him, though he is incredibly powerful. We are presented with Karn, a scout and his wolf blood. They have an uneasy relationship, and he actually beats the wolf, which bugs the shit out of me. If you share a bond with something, you don't physically assault or abuse that something. Period. And in general, violence against animals is verboten for most people. So they go after the Forgotten, have bunch of awkward moments between Blood and Karn that I do not fully understand as the writing is not much better than the last short story, and Blood ends up breathing in The Forgottens face, making him kinda go crazy then start crying, I imagine for the absence of his wolf. And Karn reflects that the Dark cannot break the bond between a man and his wolf. This could all have been so much better if they were more clear in the writing about what the hell is going on. It's frustrating. A Twist of the Knife by Jean Rabe Shiv, male assassin, Safford Risana, woman, Solamnic Knight Redlant Fever This is a wonderful short story about an assassin named Shiv that was hired by Dark Knights to find and eliminate a Solamnic knight that is healing plagued villagers around Neraka. The former knight, a woman named Risana, actually deserted the knights after they were ambushed by dark knights. She was thought to be killed, and just walked away. Decided to heal others rather than kill them. This however created a myth in the area about Solamnic Knights and has some locals leaving to join them, and turn against the Dark Knights. So Shiv was t o eliminate her. He saw her tend wounded and saw that she truly cared about this, and it endeared her to him. They continued from village to village traveling together, even fighting off assassins that were sent to kill her, thinking Shiv was dead or taking too long. He would fight for her at first because she was his mark, but later because he respected her. In the end, he deserted his contract and swore to protect her until he died. I really loved that this old assassin could be touched by a woman who had a singleminded purpose, not for gods or oaths, but because it’s what she was passionate about. I really enjoyed the story. Jean Rabe is really growing on me with these short stories of hers. Hunger by Richard A. Knaak Master Brudas, Bozak Ruins of Krolus Sable, Black Dragon Drek, Baaz Molgar, Baaz Gruun, Baaz Oh man, this was fun. It's about the souls of the dead who were stealing magic from magical items and casters before the War of Souls on behalf of Takhisis. A Bozak and three baaz were searching for magical artifacts for Sable, the black dragon overlord in a sunken ruined city of Krolus. The Baaz were excavating the site as the Bozak was dreaming of finding items of power that he could leave Sable’s service. He tries to emulate the Aurak draconians he admired and relished his ability to cast spells even though they have been failing recently. The bozak returns with knowledge of a cavern and Brudas the bozak goes to investigate. He finds a bracelet of Chemosh with two black gems. It allows him to see the undead ghosts that are all around him, begging for power. Over the next few days it drives him near insane. Whenever he tries to cast a spell to banish or dispel the undead, they take the power, ruining the spell. He orders the Baaz to throw the gems away that were in the bracelet and it makes him unable to see the ghosts. But he can still imagine them, and feel them. How oh so many of them were around him, pleading. He chases the gems down and drowns. The baaz return to Sable and deliver the bracelet, and Sable is pleased, but cannot see the hoards of spirits around her, taking her magic as well as the bracelets. It’s so wonderfully creepy to think of the unseen spirits stealing your essence, and that of your items. Such a cool set up for the War of Souls. Knaak did a great job with this story. Product Given for Services Rendered by Don Perrin Gnash, dark knight brothers, disserters Yarl, dark knight brothers, deserters Flannery, old man in robes Digger Cutterstone, dwarf This was a wonderful tale about two brothers who turned in their parents, who were clerics of Paladine, to the Knights of Takhisis and came upon an old man in robes and a dwarf. They were burying the dead and taking their weapons and armor. They offered to share their supper with the brothers and told them that they commended the souls of the dead to the gods and in return took the swords and armor and melted them into steel coins for the bank of palanthas. They wanted to do the same for the Knights of Takhisis but did not know the burial rites. The brothers pulled weapons on them and started to rob them, but the old man offered to split the money with them if they helped by telling them how to comment the souls to Takhisis. The brothers flippantly told them, and then the priest did it to them, and they dropped dead. It turned out that they were skeletons the old man was trying to destroy and take their armor. Once he learned the rite, he could do the same to others. Such an interesting twist and tale about the aftermath of battle and the creation of steel as a currency. Dragon's Throat by Donald Bingle Finderkeeper Rumpleton, kender Gimmie Glacier Vern Hasterck, Knight of Takhisis Commander Bodar, Ice Nomad Thrak D.Nar, Ice Nomad Garn, Ice Nomad This is an interesting tale about the Icewall Glacier being the primary character, and everyone else secondary. The glacier grows north, then melts south revealing objects that were left in the ice from wars or travelers who never made it across. This ends up being a pilgrimage site for Kender, but in the Age of Mortals, Dark Knights also would travel the area in southern Plains of Dust. One day a kender named Finderkeeper Rumpleton passed through and found a strangely shaped object, instantly claiming it as Irda Magic. This sent the other kender in a frenzy of questions and nearby Dark Knights demanding the object. THey chased the Kender across the glacier till he believed he lost them, and stumbled across an ice nomad and his sons who were hunting wooly mammoths. They helped the kender for the night then when the dark knights showed up again, helped him run from them. They led them to a valley that would floor periodically and one of the sons went to help it along as the Dark knights were camping in the valley during their pursuit. It flooded the valley, consuming the son as well, but the Dark Knight Commander escaped and continued pursuit, eventually catching up to the kender and nomads. They fought as best they could but the Dark knight overwhelmed the nomads, killing them, but eventually got stuck in some mud, freezing to death as he was trying to cut his own legs off to get out. This was all relayed to the nomad clan by a bard, who was the kender. It’s more of an environmental tale of the natural dangers of a living glacier, and I for one enjoyed that approach. This was an interesting collection, with a few really good stories. If you are a Dragonlance fan, I would recommend you taking the time to read this anthology.

Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and today I am going to talk about Neraka. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron by following the links in the description below.

I am referencing DL14 Dragons of Triumph, The Atlas of the Dragonlance World, Tales of the Lance boxed set, War of the Lance, and Dragonlance Campaign Setting sourcebooks for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below! Discussion Neraka lies cradled in a high valley of the Khalkist Mountains, a region infamous for its barren peaks, volcanic scars, and broken, fissured plains. The Plains of Neraka stretch outward like a scar, a yellow-brown wasteland cracked with hundreds of crevasses. Some belch sulfurous smoke or even pillars of flame. Others simply yawn open into darkness. Even the roads leading to Neraka were carved by slaves—fine stone highways that bridge fissures and cut through the hostile terrain toward three major destinations: Sanction to the south, Estwilde to the north, and the scattered mountain tracks to the east and west. The mountains around the city are harsh and dry. Streams vanish into dust, thunderstorms turn the proud roads into rivers of mud, and the volcanic peaks sometimes smoke with an ominous glow. Travelers claim the very land seems hostile… almost alive. It's here—amid harsh rock and sulfur—where Takhisis chose to plant the seed of her empire. The name Neraka is older than the Cataclysm. Long before humans settled the valley, the High Ogres ruled a northern city called Narakid. Humans took the land long before 1300 PC… but when the fiery mountain fell during the Cataclysm, that early Neraka vanished beneath destruction. Centuries later—after the world was broken—settlers found something strange in an isolated glade: a twisted root of stone, all that remained of the Kingpriest's temple from Istar. When they built a settlement around it, they believed that they had rediscovered the original Neraka. But they were wrong. That root had been planted there—intentionally—by Takhisis. In the second century after the Cataclysm, the Dark Queen chose this glade as the birthplace of her return. From the stone root grew the Temple of Darkness, a sprawling, organic, unnatural structure that would become the beating heart of her new empire. And around that temple grew a new Neraka… the Neraka the world would come to fear. Neraka is divided like rings around a wound: 1. The Outer Bailey. The outermost ring is a maze of chaos—dense streets jammed with brothels, slave pens, ramshackle huts, open markets, foul-smelling alleys, and mobs of desperate or dangerous people. Goblins haggle with ogres. Human criminals brush shoulders with mercenaries. And the Dark Knights' barracks stand neatly just beyond the squalor, an unsettling reminder that order here comes only from fear. 2. The Inner Bailey. Inside the first walls, buildings press tightly together under the shadow of watchtowers. Smithies, supply stores, military workshops, and housing for the Dragonarmies fill these cramped quarters. Each army maintains its own heavily guarded district. Rivalries run hot, and even in the city’s prime, fights between soldiers were so common that Takhisis's personal troops often had to break them up. 3. The Heart of the City. At the center once stood the terrible Temple of Darkness—a massive, living fortress where the Dragon Highlords met under the watchful gaze of the Queen of Darkness. After the War of the Lance, the temple collapsed inward, disappearing into a vast sinkhole. Its blackened stones litter the southern valley, poisonous to life even centuries later. Nothing grows where the temple fell—just bleeding rock and sulfurous fumes, a wound on Krynn that refuses to heal. Beneath all three layers lies the Undercity: a spiderweb of caves, tunnels, sewers, and catacombs. It connects the outer districts, inner quarters, and even the forgotten dungeons beneath the Temple. Many use the Undercity to avoid guards—but horrors lurk below, remnants of experiments, monsters, and things twisted by the temple's dark magic. During the Age of Despair, Neraka became the shining—if grotesque—capital of Takhisis's Dragon Empire. Criminals, mercenaries, cultists, and the desperate flocked there. Under Ariakas, the Dragon Highlord, the first Dragonarmies took shape here. By 348 AC, the city pulsed with soldiers, draconians, ogres, goblins, spies, and slaves. Riches from early victories in the War of the Lance poured in. Streets overflowed. Crime flourished. Rival armies brawled openly. And yet—strict order remained whenever the Highlords commanded. This was the heart of the Queen of Darkness herself. The center of evil on Ansalon. And it all came crashing down in 352 AC. When the Whitestone Army closed in, the Heroes of the Lance infiltrated the city. They reached the Temple of Darkness… and destroyed it from within, triggering chaos. The Dragonarmies turned on one another in a frenzy for control, shattering the city in the process. Neraka burned. Its armies scattered. Its goddess vanished. After Takhisis's defeat, Neraka remained a haven for evil—but without unity. The Dark Knights, newly formed and led from Storm's Keep, mostly ignored the broken city. A Lord Mayor ruled for a time… until the rise of Mirielle Abrena. After the Chaos War, she seized Neraka by force, executed the mayor, and declared herself Governor-General. Under Abrena, Neraka again rose in power—until her assassination. Morham Targonne then moved the Knight's capital to Jelek, sending Neraka into decline. But after the War of Souls, the Dark Knights returned once more. Neraka is—once again—their seat of power, grim as ever. Neraka teems with factions: The Nerakan Guard, led by Captain Joras Gelt, maintains harsh order outside the temple grounds. The Red Watch, Blue Watch, Green Regiment, and Black Guard—elite units of sivaks, kapaks, and bozaks—defend the Dragonarmies' interests. The Hidden Light, an underground resistance led by Talent Orren and Lute the Pawnbroker, fights quietly against the influence of darkness. The population is a volatile mix: humans, draconians, ogres, goblins, dwarves, minotaurs, and even the occasional giant. Trade is thriving but grim—slaves, mercenaries, weapons, stolen goods, and black-market items flowing between Sanction, Khur, and Zhakar. Neraka remains a symbol of tyranny and ambition. Its streets are dangerous. Its politics are ruthless. Its shadow stretches across all of Taman Busuk. And yet… it is alive. A boiling cauldron of power, violence, and fear—waiting for history to turn once more. Where darkness gathers, Neraka stands. Outro And that is all I have to say about Neraka.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris board the SAG Cartoon Express for Battletoads. How in the heck did this one go so wrong? The Battletoads are actually awful children? The Dark Queen is incredibly stupid? There's a giant pink phallus? This cartoon is weird. Next, in Week Old News, there's a whole heck of a lot going on, including a new State of Play with the first bloody footage of Wolverine. It's very bloody. Plus, Doug Bowser retires, DK Bananza's strange watermelon connection, EA might go private, Pokemon gets its Lucha Libre on, and more! Finally in the checkpoint, Dan prepares for some construction, while Kris accidentally runs for 5 miles because he's bad at geography. Plus, Kris finishes Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, while Dan promises to finish Death Stranding 2. Will he do it? Time will tell! Enjoy!

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the August 10 20 30 40, and while it may not have gotten off to a fantastic start, boy did it pick up steam! We're talking some seriously heavy hitters like Killer Instinct for SNES, Advance Wars: Dual Strike for Nintendo DS, and FLIP-OUT! FOR ATARI JAGUAR! (Also available on PC for some reason).  In Week Old News, the analogue 3D got delayed again, there's a shocking amount of Bubsy in the world, Pokemon apparently can't pronounce things, and oh yeah, Silksong finally has a release date!      Finally, in The Checkpoint, Kris gives an update on his mom, and plays House of the Dead on Switch for the low low price of $2.49. But was it worth it? Meanwhile, Dan extolls the joys of Dark Queen of Mortholme, Berzerk Boy, and of course, DK Bananza.      Enjoy!

Adrienne Iapalucci jokes about rescue dogs in her Netflix special, "Dark Queen".

In this episode, I'm joined by the luminous Lisa Marie Rankin for a conversation that bridges fantasy and real-life reclamation. We explore her viral post, 5 Ways to Become a Romantasy Heroine IRL, and dive into the archetypes these fictional women embody — from the Warrior and Lover to the Sage, Dark Queen, and High Lady. Through the lens of Jungian psychology, sensuality, and sovereignty, Lisa invites us to see these characters not just as entertainment, but as invitations to become the heroine of our own stories.But we don't stop there. This episode also takes us deep into the untamed terrain of the Wild Woman archetype, inspired by Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. We unpack why so many women feel a visceral pull toward this primal, intuitive energy — and how to begin embodying it in real, everyday ways. From learning to honor your desires to releasing the “good girl” conditioning that keeps us small, this part of the conversation is all about remembering the truth of who we are beneath the roles we've been taught to play.Whether you're obsessed with ACOTAR, deep into your own healing, or simply craving a reminder that you are magic — this episode is a potent mix of myth, embodiment, and modern-day transformation. Grab your sword, your journal, and maybe a mug of something warm. This is the reclamation you didn't know you were ready for.In this episode, we explore:The five archetypal activations behind your favorite Romantasy heroines — and how to embody them in real lifeWhy training like a warrior starts with tending to your physical body and nervous systemHow sensuality, desire, and pleasure are powerful tools for self-reclamation (not just steamy plotlines)The sacred importance of following your curiosity and studying like the sage — especially in a world obsessed with quick fixesHow to confront your inner Dark Queen and reclaim the emotions and power you've been taught to suppressWhat it means to rule like a High Lady — and how to bring sovereignty into your home, schedule, and choicesA deep dive into the Wild Woman archetype and why so many women feel an ancient, primal pull toward herTangible practices to reconnect with your intuition, creativity, and embodied knowingHow to stop outsourcing your power and start writing your own mythBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Lisa:Instagram: @lisamarie.rankinSubstack: lisamarierankin.substack.comFacebook: iamlisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Sign up...

Adrienne recounts the thrill of nailing one show only to feel disappointed with the next, sharing how new material can reignite that spark. They laugh about the complex reactions from audiences who, at times, love the very jokes that bore the comedian, and Adrienne highlights the strange disconnect when fans can't tell if a set went well.They also discuss the evolving landscape of comedy, where influencers with niche content often fill traditional stand-up venues, changing audience expectations. Adrienne brings up her experience with "walking the room," referencing a memorable set where a group of cowboys exited during a military joke, showing how divisive comedy can be. Jared and Adrienne get into the contradictions in humor preferences, especially when fans who claim to love "dark comedy" balk at more provocative material.To wrap things up, Jared asks Adrienne about a joke she wishes she could have developed more. Adrienne reveals that she would have loved more time with her Middle East jokes, as world events have continued to shape the material.
