Product History
"Tasslehoff's Map Pouch: Legends" (2007)¸ by Sean Macdonald¸ is a gaming accessory produced by Sovereign Press for the Dragonlance 3e RPG line. It was published in June 2007.
About the Cover. Each of the three Map Pouches shows Tasslehoff at a different age. "Legends" pictures the middle Tasslehoff¸ very similar to the one from "Tasslehoff's Map Pouch: The War of the Lance" (2006)¸ but a little leaner and a little more somber.
Concluding the Map Pouches. Sovereign Press published three campaign setting companions and three map pouches to go with them. This final map pouch was¸ of course¸ linked to Legends of the Twins (2006) - and in fact was the most closely connected of the three¸ with some of the maps tying specifically to elements of the Legends of the Twins book.
Expanding Krynn. "Legends" may have been the most anticipated of the Map Pouches because of its focus on pre-cataclysmic Krynn - an era that was still largely legendary. A few maps for the era had shown up in The Atlas of the Dragonlance World (1987)¸ while large-scale regional maps were found in some of the historic novels such as Legend of Huma (1988)¸ the Elven Nations trilogy (1991)¸ the Kingpriest trilogy (2001-2003) and the Ergoth trilogy (2003-2004). However¸ more detailed maps of the Age of Might were almost unknown … prior to this release.
Most of the maps focus on the overall geography of the Age of Might:
- Ansalon. This is a poster-sized map of Age of Might Ansalon (plus another map with Tasslehoff's annotations¸ as usual). Amusingly¸ you can find Dragonhelm Keep on the map - a reference to Trampas Whiteman's alter ego and the pre-Cataclysm AD&D game that he once played; the map clearly indicates that Dragonhelm Keep will be at the bottom of the New Sea after the Cataclysm. The Ansalon map also corrects an error in the previous two Map Pouches by identifying modern-day Icewall Castle as the pre-Cataclysm Summerbane Castle; the previous Map Pouches had instead said that the Castle had once been Brackenrock.
- Balifor. A kender land that was at odds with Istar during the Age of Might. The Companions visited the modern-day land in DL12: "Dragons of Faith" (1986).
- Istar. The capitol of the Istar Empire and the home of the Kingpriest. It was a constant presence in the Dragonlance novels and adventures from the very start. Much of the story of Istar (and some of its ruins) appeared for the first time in DL12: "Dragons of Faith" (1986)¸ while the much later Kingpriest trilogy (2001-2003) is one of t
Uncle' Tasslehoff has shared even more of his amazing map collection¸ this time with maps focusing on the distant past and unusual locations. The maps within the pouch include a detailed¸ full-size poster map of Ansalon during the Age of Might (or Third Age)¸ continues with regional and location maps¸ and concludes with a pair of 'kender'-style maps drawn by the irrepressible adventurer himself.
"Among the maps are the pre-Cataclysm city of Paesten¸ the Lordcity of Istar¸ the Tower of High Sorcery of Istar¸ the city of Xak Tsaroth¸ the Glitterpalace¸ the Anvil of Time¸ and more!
