The historical saga of the rival dwarven clans only hinted at in previous Dragonlance books, this story recounts the rise of Derkin, King of the Living Stone, whose bravery and wisdom is written in... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a very good trilogy if you are interested in dwarves, and their beginings. It filled in some holes, and helps you understand why dwarves act the way they do. It portrays Dwarves as grumpy, and I agree. I saw one at Wal-mart and asked him about Thorbardin. He replyed with something better left unsaid. Very grumpy indeed. Although the 1st book is the best in the series, the third ties it all together nicely.
Entertaining Tale of Leadership and War in the Dwarven Nations!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
By far one of my favorite trilogies in all the Dragonlance Saga, The Swordsheath Scroll does an excellent job of wrapping up the Dwarven Nations Trilogy. The development and growth of the main character, the battle scenes, and the overall description of the Dwarven world are but a few aspects that make this book a great one. This book also sheds a little light on some of the initial interactions between the Dwarven and Elven races. Very entertaining.
Perfect Dwarven Description

As the title says, this book perfectly describes the dwarven demeanor. Derkin is the epitome of the lifestyles of a vindictive dwarf, and of a leader...I highly suggest that you read this book , as well as the previous 2 books to this series.
What an end!

T.s.s. is the last book of three in the "Dwarfen nation triology". The saga begins right after the "magewar" in the second book, where the dwarfes of Thorbadin fought some evil magicians. The headperson is the slave Derkin Hammerhand, who, with help from some very special persons, is to become the leader of "The chosen ones"; dwarfs were slaves just like him, but as he frees. The human invation of both the dwarfen realm, known as Kal-Thax, and the elf-realm in the east, must be prevented, and together with the elfs, Derkin and his dwarfs fights the humans in several battles. The book is filled with action, tension and, of course, alot of fantasy-related happenings, written in a very captivating way of style. I tried to come up with some negative thoughts about this book, but I really couldn`t. I really advise YOU to read this book, or, as a matter of fact, the whole triology.
