World of Krynn presents four scenarios for player characters, including three dungeon crawls (a dragon's lair, a minotaur's island, and Dargaard Keep, home of the undead) and a wilderness quest.[1]
World of Krynn contains four separate adventures of medium to high difficulty. The adventures are "Tower of Kyrie", "The Missing Master Lor", "Dargaard Keep", and "The Dragon Keep of Palanthus."
"Tower of Kyrie" is set in Mithas, the home of Krynnian Minotaurs. The player's characters discover an avian race called the Kyrie, and learn of a minotaur plot to ruin Eastern Ansalon.
"The Missing Master Lor" is set in a non-specific part of Ansalon. The PCs are asked by a village to find their Master Lor, a young boy who is also a prescient.
"Dargaard Keep" takes place in Lord Soth's home of the same name. This adventure allows the players to put Lord Soth to rest, and learn of the ultimate fate of Kitiara uth Matar.
In "The Dragon Keep of Palanthus", the PCs raid a dragon's lair inside a volcano.
DL16 World of Krynn was written by Douglas Niles, Michael Gray, and Harold Johnson, with a cover by Clyde Caldwell and interior illustrations by Yeates with Truman and Woch, and was published by TSR in 1988 as a 96-page book.[1]
In his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, Lawrence Schick called World of Krynn "Standard stuff", but felt that Dragonlance fans would find intriguing details in the book about the history of Krynn.[1]
