Death
Unknown.
Raistlin was born to Gilon Majere and Rosamun Majere in the town of Solace in 326 AC, shortly after his twin brother Caramon Majere. The younger of the twins, Raistlin was a difficult birth and was born feet first, which almost caused the death of his mother. Raistlin was not given much chance to live by the midwife, but his older half-sister, Kitiara Uth Matar, took to him at once and nursed him to health.
At the age of six, Raistlin was taken by his father to study magic under Master Theobald.
Kitiara left home around the same time as Raistlin joined Theobald’s mage academy.
By 342 AC, Raistlin had been promoted to a novitiate at Poolbottom, and was growing into a considerably skilled young mage. Their parents would die in short order.
The twins became friends with a young lad from Solamnia named Sturm Brightblade. Within two short years, the twins had expanded their circle of friends, and went on a number of adventures with Sturm, Tanis Half-Elven, the kender Tasslehoff Burrfoot, and a dwarven metalsmith named Flint Fireforge. Together, they journeyed with Flint on the road to protect him from bandits when he would travel to sell his wares.
the Companions decided to split up in 346 AC, to find evidence of the true gods, and also to undertake their own personal quests. They agreed to meet again five years hence, at the Inn of the Last Home.
The Test of High Sorcery
The first part of Raistlin and Caramon’s journey after the Companions split up was to the mysterious Wayreth Forest, where the young mage was to take the Test of High Sorcery. At 20 years old, he would be the youngest mage to ever take the Test,
During the Test he would encounter the Arch Mage Fistandantalus, who he would negoptiate part of his life force for help during the trial
Rastlin would past the test sacrificing his health and his relationship with his brother who watched Raistlin kill an illustion of him.
War of the Lance
In 348 AC, Raistlin and Caramon returned to Solace to reunite with the other Companions who had departed on their various journeys five years before.
During that fateful night, the Companions except for Kitiara were reunited at the Inn of the Last Home, and were joined by Riverwind and Goldmoon of the Que-Shu tribe.
They would tream eith the plainsmen Riverwind and Gold Moon
In their time together they would kill the Black Dragon

Post War of the Lance and Legends
After the collapse of the Temple of Takhisis, Raistlin traveled to the city of Palanthas where he stepped up to the gates of the Tower of High Sorcery. Declaring himself the Master of Past and Present, he lifted the curse the Black Robe, Rannoch, had placed on the Tower shortly before the Cataclysm.
Moving into the Tower, Raistlin used the next two years to study the spellbooks of Fistandantilus to increase his own power, and to conduct experiments in the Tower. In addition to creating the Chamber of Seeing, which was a giant pool of water that he could use for scrying, the Chamber also served as the Lair of the Live Ones:
During this time, he developed a plan to challenge Takhisis for her seat in the pantheon of gods.
Raistlin literally becomes a God, kills the other Gods to reign alone. Mic drop
Plus he steals every scene he is in
yeah, he is my favorite character by a long shot.
~coughs~ godmodding ~coughs~
Pardon me, what a cough.
I thought his eyes were like hourglasses
They are indeed, he sees living things decay as though aged in seconds when he looks upon them. Also it was his half sister Kit that arranged for him to study Magic after meeting a Wizard in the town tavern ,the wizard also paid for the tuition after meeting Raist as a young boy.
One of the prices (his Golden hourglass eyes) for his magic from the tower of high scorcery... everything has a price.
its been around 20 to 25 years since I read this. But as far as I remember after killing Takhisis Raist couldn't give life, and his godhood was only destruction. Slowly but surely, destroying all around him including himself. As he was not a true god, he could not create. And Cameron showed him this future, the only reason he decided to not kill the gods(that was how powerful he was, yea he decided not to kill the gods) and so the story goes..
"Evil cannot create, it can only destroy, it turns in upon itself, gnawing itself." -- Raistlin and Astinus - Test of the Twins. H e was a God, just a very evil one
Kiefer Sutherland's voice from the anime was Perfect for Raistlin!! The DND alignment classification is and has always been argueable. Raistlin does go from red robes to black. He dose not kill "at a whim" or "just for fun" so you know he is not evil. But, when one will sacrifice "even your own brother"... Caramon in the Tower of high sorcery... not real, but the test showed what was needed or possible. You are not "all good" if you are willing to do that. Do they make "Golden Hourglass eye" contact lenses? or for that matter "Eye of Sauron" red vertical contact lenses... just weight the lens to stay vertical. The quest for power is not always "true evil". Even Raistlin finds a "balance" with the gods. One of the best characters of all time.... and it wouldn't have the sociological CLASSIC "Duality" questions without Caramon.... he is needed in the story for balance. The weak seek power cause the strong have everything? Even if the stong one gives everything to his weak brother in kindness.... that is never questioned.! Even unconditional Love is addressed as an issue. there is so much in these books to digest. Awesome sauce!!
Raistlin is Neutral, but very ambitious. Not chaotic evil.
he switches the neutral red robes for the black ones, and his alignment shifts.
Raistlin>>all others..Except maybe Elminster who would be his closest rival in power. Raist is a beast
Vecna?
@@boubear26 ID say hed beat vecna also given hes a demi god or lesser and Raistlin killed greater gods
That would be a battle of end time proportion
@@bradleyhollon6085 Indeed it would
I bet Raistlin's fireball would emasculate Elminster.
If you stumble over your words just rerecord that segment. It's not like anyone gets charged by the minute to record vocals at home.
Chaotic Evil? Sorry but I don't see it. Neutral Evil perhaps, but not chaotic. Chaotic Evil characters would be characters that torture and kill for fun and get sick pleasure out of it. Raistlin was only evil in the sense that he would do literally anything to further his ambition, but he did not get pleasure out of evil deeds. He regretted many of the things he had to do but would do them without hesitation if the need arose.
He "killed " his own brother. Not because he had to. He wanted to. Says a lot
lawful evil perhaps. there is structure and social hierarchy he is never impulsive or reckless like a chaotic character might be.
Even with no magic people were afraid of him
right! Dude had a presence. My fav in this series by a lot
