Обезумевшие драконы могут уничтожить цивилизацию на всем Фаэруне, но так было не всегда. Были времена, когда люди и драконы бок о бок оберегали жизнь и сражались со злом. Конечно, такое нечасто случалось. Гораздо чаще они пытались убить друг друга и украсть в процессе побольше сокровищ. Это собрание новых историй от создателя Забытых Царств Эда Гринвуда, популярных авторов Элейн Каннингем, Ричарда Бейкера, Лизы Смедман, Роберта Энтони Сальваторе, а так же автора "Года Безумных Драконов" Ричарда Ли Байерса и других, демонстрирующих миллиард граней фаэрунских драконов. Год Безумных Драконов только начался, но история этой расы длинна, пугающа и в то же время - прекрасна.

У любого существа на Фаэруне есть темное отражение в качестве нежити - от призраков воителей древности до исписанных рунами драконьих скелетов. И в мире с такой богатой и кровавой историей, как у Фаэруна - имя им легион, затмевающий живых числом и разнообразием. Эта дюжина пугающих историй - про потусторонние Королевства.

История Фаэруна написана плавным письмом Тель'Квессир. Хроника эльфов Фаэруна протянулась от начала времен к битве за будущее в мире постоянных перемен.
