Drums of War is an adventure set in the world of Krynn in the days leading up to those described in The Shadow of the Dragon Queen. It is designed for low level heroes (1st to 3rd level), and introduces the companions to the old gods through a fully fleshed out adventure.
Clouds of war hang over the lands of Solamnia, heralding an ominous threat. A young hero named Alaric, son of a noble Solamnic knight, returns to his homeland in search of his forgotten heritage.
But Alaric's homecoming is anything but peaceful, as the drums of war beat ever louder and plunge his homeland into turmoil. With the aid of his trusted companions, Alaric must rediscover the ancient power of the old gods and prepare to battle against the dark minions of Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness.
Through a series of perilous adventures, the heroes will be tested and pushed to their limits, as they fight to protect their people and uncover the secrets of Alaric's past. Will they be able to withstand the tides of war and emerge victorious, or will they fall in the face of a formidable adversary? The drums of war are beating, and the fate of Krynn hangs in the balance.
