Note that, despite the "Dungeons & Dragons" label, despite being officially based on the first Dragonlance role-playing module, and despite featuring experience points, ''Heroes of the Lance'' is absolutely '''NOT''' a role-playing game. In fact, the majority of the box artworks states clearly: "A Dragonlance <u>action</u> game". | Note that, despite the "Dungeons & Dragons" label, despite being officially based on the first Dragonlance role-playing module, and despite featuring experience points, ''Heroes of the Lance'' is absolutely '''NOT''' a role-playing game.

== Story == | |||
''Heroes of the Lance'' is based on <u>'''part'''</u> of the Dragonlance role-playing module [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons_of_Despair Dragons of Despair], and therefore on an even smaller part of the novel [https://www.tor.com/2015/04/17/the-dragonlance-chronicles-reread-dragons-of-autumn-twilight-chapters-11-and-12/ Dragons of the Autumn Twilight]. | |||
Goldmoon and Riverwind were members of the Que-Shu tribe. In order to prove his valor and earn the right to marry Goldmoon, Riverwind went on a quest and returned with the magical Blue Crystal Staff, as a gift for his beloved. Still, her father refused, and the two were cast out of the tribe. | |||
Goldmoon soon found out that the Blue Crystal Staff granted her the magic powers of a cleric. They met a group of six companions (Tanis, Flint, Sturm, Tasslehoff, Raistlin and Caramon), and they decide to join forces. | |||
Shortly later, an unicorn charged the "Bearer of the Staff", that is Goldmoon, with the quest of retrieving the magical disks of the goddess Mishakal from the ruins of Xak Tsaroth (''it can be pronounced "xaxaroth"''). Obviously, all the seven males follow her. | |||
