Dragons of Despair - Dragonlance by Clyde Caldwell (1984)

Painted by Clyde Caldwell in 1984, Dragons of Despair served as the iconic cover art for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons module DL1: Dragons of Despair, which launched the legendary Dragonlance saga. The dramatic composition depicts the Heroes of the Lance—including the Plains barbarian Goldmoon wielding the glowing Blue Crystal Staff, the hill dwarf Flint Fireforge, a warrior deflecting acid with his shield, and the archer Riverwind drawing his longbow—battling the black dragon Khisanth (also known as Onyx) amid the ruined, waterfall-drenched architecture of the sunken city of Xak Tsaroth on the world of Krynn.
