Plot synopsis

In this scenario, the player characters flee the evil city of Flotsam, crossing the Blood Sea, where they may encounter Istar the City of the Deep and become involved in an undersea battle.^[1] The Dungeon Master draws from a deck of Talis cards (the tarot of Krynn), to determine the events of the adventure.^[1]

The player characters must sail across the Blood Sea of Istar into enemy territory. There, they must evade the forces of the Dragon Highlords, and, according to the module's teaser, "capture the crucial pawn before darkness snatches it away!"

This module could be played as a stand alone adventure, or used as part of the larger sequence of Dragonlance adventures.

The module includes a sheet of cut-apart Talis cards, as well as statistics and counters for an underwater Battlesystem battle.^[1]

Publication history

DL12 Dragons of Faith was written by Harold Johnson and Bruce Heard, with a cover by Jeff Easley and interior illustrations by Diana Magnuson, and was published by TSR in 1986 as a 64-page booklet with a large map, cardstock sheet, cardstock counter sheet, and an outer folder.^[1]

A pack of Talis cards, a fictional Krynnian card game, was included, along with rules for various games that could be played with them. Also included were Battlesystem miniatures rules.

Dragons of Faith was later updated for 2nd edition rules and included in "Dragonlance Classics III", which condensed the last four Dragonlance modules into one book.
