Collectors arcana: The new boxed format contained two spiral-bound flipbooks, one for DM and one for the players. The flipbooks contained the adventure data plus interior art. The outer boxes soon proved to be too weak to support their contents in everyday life of a gamer. Most available used copies are smashed or have tears. This is true with most shrinkwrapped copies, too. Clarify the condition of the outer box before purchase or bidding with the seller when purchasing used copies of Dark Sun adventure boxes.

"Tyr has been freed, and the mighty army of Urik has been turned back. These are new and strange times, indeed. Now Urik has become home — at least for a while — and there are new markets to shop, new streets to explore, and, oh yes, preservers to meet. Preservers, the keepers of good magic, have sent a mysterious summons. They are ready to embark on a new and dangerous plot to thwart sorcerer-kings and bring new life to Athas. To associate with preservers is dangerous to say at least, but when the king's templars uncover the schemes, a death mark falls upon all involved.
Will a desperate journey across the wastelands, with the templars in hot pursuit, end in victory or chaos? The answers lie in the hearts of mighty heroes and the recesses of Arcane Shadows.
Designed for four to six characters of 5th to 8th level, Arcane Shadows is set in Urik. A stand-alone adventure, Arcane Shadows can also be played as the sequel to Freedom and Road to Urik
