Dragons Crown is designed for four to six player

characters of levels 10 to 13. If you have been play-

ing through the DARK SUN flip book modules

(Freedom, Road to Urik, Arcane Shadows, and

Asticlian Gambit), you can use the same characters

for Dragons Crown. However, you will find that

this module can be played as a stand-alone adven-

ture and that it is not necessary to play the other

modules in the series first. In addition to this mod-

ule, you will need the AD&D Second Edition rule

books, the DARK SUN boxed set, and The Com-

plete Psionics Handbook. You may find Dragon

Kings to be useful as well. The preceding modules

in this series complement the DARK SUN novels,

beginning with The Verdant Passage. Those world-

shaking events set the stage for this adventure, and

you may want to read them to get a better idea of the

current state of affairs on the world of Athas.

the adventure books. Before you begin play, read

the first part of the adventure, Out of the Valley, in

detail. This is the first adventure the player charac-

ters will be involved in. You may want to read Desert

Perils for any encounters that you think appropriate

for the first part of the module. As the PCs progress

through each of the parts of the adventure, read the

next section to prepare for play.

Pregenerated Characters

Decide whether you will use the pregenerated char-

acters provided on the Player Character Cards or

have the players use their own characters. If you

have played the previous modules in the series, you

may remember some of the pregenerated charac-

ters. Make sure that each player understands all the

information on the players cards, particularly any

special racial or class abilities. Answer any ques-

tions the players may have concerning their charac-

ters abilities before you begin the adventure. Since

psionics will play a very large part in this adventure,

you may want to review The Complete Psionics

Handbook, to refresh yourself on psionics rules.

Components of Dragons Crown

Dragons Crown is organized into three adventure

books and supplemented by a map book, two poster

maps, and six Player Character Cards. In order, the

adventure books are: Out of the Valley, The Road

of Fire, and Dragons Crown Mountain. The ad-

venture books contain a total of eight distinct parts,

each of which is a small adventure in and of itself.

Seven of the parts are sequential sub-adventures

that follow the plot line of the entire adventure. The

last of the eight parts, Desert Perils, is a collection

of random encounters and small adventures that

you can use as red herrings or short adventures for

your players.

Dragons Crown as an Independent

Adventure

Some parts of Dragons Crown refer to the allies

and enemies the characters made in the previous

modules. A brief summary of the events of the pre-

vious modules is included to allow you to pick up the

story in progress. You should assume that the PCs

took part in the previous adventures and treat the

summary as background for the players.

Preparing for Play

The first thing you should do is read the DMs

Overview of the Plot, which begins on the next

page. This sets the stage for the adventure that fol-

lows and also provides you with a good idea of the

plot of the module. Then skim through the rest of

The Order

Dragon Kings reveals the existence of a secret socie-

ty of powerful psionicists known as the Order. These
