The Dragons Anthology series in the Dragonlance universe is a four-volume collection of short stories that explores the powerful presence and far-reaching influence of dragons across Krynn's rich history. These anthologies—The Dragons of Krynn, The Dragons at War, The Dragons of Chaos, and Dragons of Time—gather a wide array of tales spanning nearly every major era of Dragonlance lore, from the Age of Dreams and the time of Huma Dragonbane, through the Cataclysm and the War of the Lance, and into the Age of Mortals and the rise of the Dragon Overlords. What unites these anthologies is their focus on dragons not just as monsters or allies, but as fully realized beings—wise, cruel, noble, tragic, and often mysterious. Some stories are tragic or reflective, others humorous or action-packed, but all aim to deepen the reader’s understanding of Krynn’s draconic legacy. The series doesn't follow a strict chronology and is better viewed as a thematic exploration. Because of this, the anthologies are often considered outside any one "era," instead serving as a bridge across the saga’s full timeline, ideal for fans who want glimpses into all corners of the world and the myths that bind it together.
