late 80's, was a series of books, he was weak in body but strong in spirit, dealt with his light and dark side. I believe his brother was a warrior named Carrimon? Does anyone know those books? If the director of LOTR did that one, he'd be a very wealthy person indeed.

Yeah, Raistlin and Caramon are in a couple of the Dragonlance series of books.

Gracias! I loved that series! You da man!

Raistlin died, right?

I have that set of books... I dont think Raistlin died.

But Raistlin was so sick, just strong in mind, and he went through dark and light. He was coughing up blood if I remember the series?

That series rocked. Who was the cleric?

At the end of the second trilogy, I believe Raistlin became a god didn't he? His hourglass eyes became a constellation in the sky, it seems like.

I loved the first trilogy a lot, and would love to see it become a movie someday, but only if it was done with at least the quality of LOTR movies. I fear though, that since LOTR was so popular that studios will thing they can spew out any fantasy license as a movie with lackluster quality and expect to make huge amounts of money (LOTR was taking some big chances to get made). That always happens when a film comes out and defines a genre, all the crap comes out after and they say "oh, people are tired of this type of movie" when in fact they are just tired of bad movies of that type.

I dont remember his name but I do remeber he was a cleric of Sune. There was also Cyric who took Bane's place. You know, its likely in the D&D Mini's that they may end up making all of them as figures in the future.

At the End of the Second Trilagy. Rastlin gave up his Quest to be a God, after Caramon showed him that he would rule over a Dead world. Rastlin closed the Gateway to the Abyss with him still in the Abyss. Paladin in the end saved him and placed him in a place that he could "Rest"

In later books Rastlin does return. Once he came back to give the Staff of Magus to his Nephew Palan.

I would love to see a move of "The Test Of The Twins"

Aha, thanks for the refresher. As soon as I read it it all came flooding back, of course. I even read the story where he comes back to give the staff, so I was thinking "Duh!". lol.

Paladin, I remember now, thanks Soreyes!

(Spoiler Warning)

Bah! I'm still upset with Sturm's death. I didn't particularly care for the other characters, so I have been hesititant to read other series beyond the chronicles. Besides, it seems that Sturm's tale is not uncommon in Dragonlance. Flint dies, Tanis dies, Riverwind dies, Tas dies, Goldmoon dies, Laurana dies, everyone dies. I can take tradegy, but to a point. Life is depressing enough as is.

PS, *Paladine* was the god's name wasn't it?

Matsukasi · « **Reply #13 on:** February 12, 2004, 06:37:30 pm »

It's been a long time since I read any of them, but I thought Tasselhoff lived long enough to adventure with the children of one of the Companions.... < shrug > At least Sturm went down swinging, and not from drunkenly stumbling in front of an ox cart...hehe

Somebody should make a series of movies involving RA Salvatore's Dark Elf characters

Tremok · « **Reply #16 on:** February 13, 2004, 03:59:35 pm »

Drizzt and Salvatore? Salvatore is an adequate writer, but hardly among the likes of Tolkien or Weis/Hickman.
