The TRAGIC Story of Raistlin Majere | D&D's Greatest Wizard Explained

Описание: Dive deep into the legend of Raistlin Majere, arguably the most powerful mage to ever exist in D&D lore! From his birth as a sickly twin to his ultimate challenge against the Queen of Darkness herself, this is the complete story of Dragonlance's most iconic character.

THE LEGEND UNFOLDS:
Raistlin's transformation from bullied youth to the Master of Past and Present is one of fantasy's most compelling character arcs. Born minutes after his twin brother Caramon, Raistlin's frail body and sharp mind set him on a collision course with destiny. His Test of High Sorcery at age 20 changed him forever - golden skin, white hair, and cursed hourglass eyes that showed him time's decay on everything he saw.

But these physical transformations were nothing compared to the price he paid: a bargain with the ancient lich Fistandantilus that would define his entire existence.

• Master of Past and Present title
• Most powerful mortal mage on Krynn

DRAGONLANCE CONNECTIONS:
Featured in the Chronicles and Legends trilogies by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Raistlin became synonymous with the Dragonlance setting itself. His character, brought to life by player Terry Phillips, showcased the potential for complex, morally ambiguous protagonists in D&D campaigns.

PERFECT FOR:
• D&D players wanting deep character inspiration
• Dragonlance fans seeking comprehensive lore
• Fantasy readers interested in complex anti-heroes
• Anyone who loves stories about power, ambition, and redemption

WHY RAISTLIN MATTERS:
Philosopher Christopher Robichaud called him "the greatest D&D character ever." His name became synonymous with the Dragonlance saga. His golden skin and hourglass eyes are among fantasy gaming's most iconic imagery. And his final choice - sacrificing godhood to save the world - remains one of fantasy literature's most powerful redemption arcs.

This isn't just a character biography. This is the story of how weakness can forge strength, how ambition can both elevate and destroy, and how even the darkest souls can find redemption through sacrifice.

"I, Magius" - The words that ignited a legend.
