Collectors arcana: The new boxed format contained several booklets. 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.
Obviously by mistake all three booklets received the subnumber 2416XXX1901.

"Hail, heroes of Tyr!

Bravely you have served your adopted city since the day of Kalak's fall. As slaves and rebels you rose from Kalak's slave pits to claim your freedom from his ancient tyranny. Now that freedom is being threatened once again by an insidious new enemy, one who controls the use of psionics throughout the dying world of Athas!

The Dragon's Crown™ adventure is the exciting climax of the Freedom flip-book module series. In one final journey of epic proportions, the player characters must defend everything they have worked so hard to build. Seven adventures connected by one great plot take the PCs from the volcanic islands of the Sea of Silt to an ancient wonder hidden in the forests of the Dragon Crown Mountains. The grandest and most ambitious adventure of the DARK SUN™ game world, Dragon's Crown will provide many hours of exciting play!

Dragon's Crown is suitable for 4 to 6 characters of 10th to 13th levels. The previous flip-book modules (Freedom, Road to Urik, Arcane Shadows and Astlician Gambit) are helpful, but they are not necessary to enjoy Dragon's Crown."
