Review







Welcome to another DragonLance Saga review episode. It is Bakukal, Yurthgreen the 15th, my name is Adam and today I am going to give you my Spoiler review of The Maelstrom’s Eye by Roger E. Moore. I will be spoiling the story, so if you don’t want to know it, stop watching now! I would like to take a moment and thank the members of this YouTube channel, and invite you to consider becoming a member by visiting the link in the description below. You can even pick up Dragonlance gaming materials using my affiliate link. This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat.







Teldin arrives at the Rock of Bral to meet the Elves of the Imperial Fleet about his cloak. He wanders the rock and meets Gaeadrella Goldring, a female Kender, only to realize she is a Kender. They get along and she seems to be immediately attached to him, and actually helps him find the elves. Upon meeting them, they give him information about the cloak being made by the Star Folk from their poems, though they don’t know exactly who those first star sailing beings were. They used it to pilot the Spelljammer, the first fabled spacefaring ship. Whoever has the cloak, controls the massive city sized ship.







The elves offer information on how to find it by visiting a falmadaraatha called One Six Nine. This being lives thousands of years and can help locate the Spelljammer. They also send him away with a gnome named Dyffedionizer Artifactos Jammermaker, the most knowledgeable person about the Spelljammer. He returns to his shop the Probe only to discover Aelfred hired the kender, supposedly at his request.







At the same time, the novel explores the war between the Tarantulas Fleet and the Imperial Fleet, basically orcs vs elves. The Fleet Admiral of the Tarantulas Fleet, Admiral Halker is invited to meet with the Lich Skarkesh about a proposition and takes his general, Kobas Hamarka Vorr with him. He is immune to magic and poison, and is a half orc-Ogre. We’re introduced to them by an assasination attempt presumably by the Imperial Fleet. They meet the Lich only to discover it's not actually a lich, but it is undead, choosing to take the form of a lich. Skarkesh discovered the cloak, encased in stone, but he was betrayed and a servant stole the cloak, which ended up in the hands of the Reigar female captain that gave it to Teldin. The lich knows Teldin is on the Roc of Braal, and hired the Tarantula fleet to find him and take the cloak. It seems to me that this lich is actually an undead neogi who was betrayed, but I don’t know for sure yet.
