Theros Ironfeld, a metalsmith by trade, wandered into the Haven Val-
ley from far to the north several years before the first incursions of the
Dragon Highlords. He dealt chiefly in weapons, and his craft was
known throughout the area, particularly among the Qualinesti Elves.

When the draconians invaded, Theros worked against them along-
side Gilthanas. The price of his rebellion was the loss of his arm to a
draconian squad. Theros was brought to Qualinesti and accompanied
the elves into exile.

in their flight, Theros discovered the Silver Arm, a magical device
that has replaced his lost limb. The Arm has many strange properties,
including aiding him in regaining lost health and aiding in his forging.

Theros is a large, gruff man of few words. He is unhappy working
with the elves, and would rather be among humans, preferably fighting
against the draconians that crippled him.

banished to the Isle of Dragons to languish

The Oath

The good dragons have taken a solemn Oath that forbids
them from entering Ansalon to aid the forces of good in the
war against evil dragonkind. This Oath was demanded by

Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness herself.
The Oath was taken because the Queen of Darkness
stole all the good dragon’s eggs: gold, silver, bronze, brass,

and copper. She holds these eggs in a
closely guarded secret location.

If the good dragons abide by the terms of the Oath,
the Queen has promised to return all the eggs unharmed
after the war has run its course and evil has triumphed.

If the good dragons interfere, however,
Takhisis has promised to destroy the eggs.
The eggs, the future of the dragon race, are the
only things that could have given the evil Queen
the leverage she needed to restrict the good dragons.
Because of their lack of opposition, the forces of evil
led by the evil dragons show every sign of eventually
conquering and laying waste to the world of Krynn.

Motivations and Restrictions

A confrontation with Paladine has left you
certain that the key to the Oath lies in the
city of Sanction, at the very heart of the
lands controlled by the Dragonarmies. Yet
even in your elven form of Silvart you would
not stand a chance of entering that foul city
and getting past the many guards to find that
key to the Oath. Therefore, you have turned
to the help of the heroes you knew and aided
in the past. (Remember that Silvart has
already established a relationship with the
heroes. When you meet up with the heroes in
Chapter 13, try to refer to your previous
adventures.)

You suspect that the good dragon eggs are
hidden at Sanction; your quest leads you
there. If you could steal the eggs away from
the Queen of Darkness, perhaps the rest of
the good dragons could be persuaded to fight
against her.

While you are not certain of the exact con-
sequences, you know that if you shift into
your dragon form while bound by the Oath,
something very unpleasant is bound to hap-
pen. Paladine might not stop short of exact-
ing your death as penalty should you again
violate the Oath.

Thus you feel that you must remain poly-
morphed in the form of Silvart until you can
gain a legitimate reason to consider the Oath
broken. Without such a reason, you know
that the vengeance of Paladine will be swift
and terrible. The whole future of Ansalon
may depend on you and your friends, and
you don’t want to risk being caught by Pala-
dine again!

At the same time, the god hinted that if the
Oath were broken legally or had been violated
by Takhisis, not only could you freely change

battlefield for each play session you will be
able to keep the players on their toes since
they will not know when to expect an attack.
Since battles tend to take up the entire
night’s gaming you should try to plan your
game sessions around the battles.
