| I know that the first novel was Darkwalker on Moonshae. |
Turox Antas Dragonslayer -
"People will believe anything they want to believe, or fear to believe."
Wizard's First Rule: Chapter 36, Page #397, US Hard Cover (revealed by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander).
Explanation by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."

The Niles book already existed; it was originally going to be British Dragginglance. They decided to repackage it, so to speak, to have a book out when the game world went live. |

I've heard this mentioned before and I'm quite curious about it. Dragonlance was already selling (pretty flipping well, as it happens) in the UK at the time FR was coming out. Were TSR really intending to do a British brand in the same universe and everything? That just seems utterly incredible (in its meaning of 'unbelievable') to me.
If you can point me to some information on this (and I appreciate we're not so much drifting as 'plunging' off-topic here), I'd greatly appreciate it.
Yours,

| The Crytsal Shard was the 2nd book |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |
