Dragonlance creators Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are launching a new trilogy titled Dragonlance: War Wizard, exploring the legendary past of Huma and Magius during the Third Dragon War.
For long-time fantasy fans and tabletop roleplayers, the legendary world of Krynn is heading back to its roots. Original creators Margaret Weis and Hickman are officially launching a brand new trilogy under a classic Dragonlance label, starting with the upcoming novel Dragonlance: War Wizard. Set during the landmark Third Dragon War, the book rewinds the clock well before the events of the beloved Chronicles trilogy to focus on two of the setting's most iconic historical figures: the knight Huma and his childhood friend, the magical prodigy Magius.
According to the original report by Polygon, this new series digs deep into the formative years and personal struggles of these legendary heroes as they fight to repel the evil goddess Takhisis. Players and readers who know the lore understand the massive weight these names carry, especially since Huma is the historic figure who ultimately forced the Dragon Queen to retreat, while Magius navigated severe persecution for his magical talents. It is a major win for the community, particularly following the years of legal battles and cancelled projects that kept Weis and Hickman sidelined from the franchise in the past.
This new literary push comes at a fascinating time for the broader Dungeons and Dragons ecosystem, as Wizards of the Coast revitalizes its classic settings and leans into fresh seasonal publishing models. While modern players bounce between virtual tabletops, digital rulebooks, and cross-platform video game adaptations, enduring literary pillars like Dragonlance continue to prove that foundational fantasy lore remains a massive draw. Dragonlance: War Wizard is currently available for preorder and officially hits shelves on August 4, giving the community a fresh narrative chapter to explore alongside their ongoing campaigns.
