Windriders of the Jagged Cliffs is an accessory for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1995.
Contents
Windriders of the Jagged Cliffs is part of the "Wanderer's Chronicles" line for the Dark Sun setting, which details areas of Athas far from the city of Tyr.[1] This is a self-contained volume, a book which describes the location and includes an introductory adventure for the area. A race of halflings, which can trace its lineage directly back to the Blue Age, lives nestling in communities along the faces of the Jagged Cliffs. Unlike the setting's more common feral halflings, these halflings have a sophisticated society steeped in ritual and history, and place a high value on life of all sorts. By means of half-remembered genetic engineering techniques, these halflings can manipulate life to create their own tools and creatures.[1]
